Re: New Stanley H.I.D. and 1365 lumen spotlights

went to WM and decided to go to the automotive section to look for tools I may not have. The small stanley caught my eye because it actually had lumen ratings for Incans. Looked at the next one (2 million). Then looked at the next one (Did I just see HID:huh:). I thought it was a joke until it actually spelled out "High Intensity Discharge". Looked at the price and got pissed off because it was cheap enough to buy. I purchased it and was so excited that I was tearing it appart on the way to my truck. I was not expect much from a $70 Stanley. Then I turned it on:wow:. I just purchased a 8watt far projection Led 300lumen from Sunlite which I thought was extremely bright for $157 and now none of my lights are bright anymore! My high power incans look like candle light to me now and my bright LED lights look like they are using 5mm LEDs.

Could please tell me the stock number ??
Thanks

Thats the code for amazon

I need the Stanley number

The Model # on the light is HID0109,35W

The only thing I can see on the Instruction Manual is HID0109

Here is the number to the Customer Service in Deerfield Beach, FL. (877) 571-2391

Hope this helps

Here is post # 137 that dwminer mentioned.

According to the distributor, only enough inventory has been shipped for 2400-2500 stores; that leaves over 1000 stores that will not be stocking the lights in the immediate future.

As Walmart is a network of regional shipping centers, inventory could be sitting, or enroute. Another possibilty is that the stores have already received the product, but it is sittting in tbe "back" room, waiting for the department manager to find a place on the shelf to stock the new item.

I visited 8 Walmarts in/around San Fernando, and Santa Clarita Valley. Only 2 had the Stanley lights, and in each instance, the HID lights were stocked behind the 2M Series Halogen, Had I not been looking to buy the HID lights, no way would I have checked behind all the packages.

For now, best thing is to ASK. Here is the UPC code 8 97450 00206 3. Any Walmart associate with computer access can tell you if the have the light, or if the light is "on order" heading to the store.

NOTE: Walmart computers add a "zero" at the beginning, and drop the "check digit" (last digit) So use 08 97450 00206 when calling.

NOTE 2: 2 of the stores that did not have the lights yesterday morning, now have the lights, my belief that inventory is just making it to the store is correct


I also see on the packaging there is a HID3000

Good luck

Re: New Stanley H.I.D. and 1365 lumen spotlights

why is 4300k better than 6000k?
More lumens -- you lose total lumens going up or down from 4300K. If you don't care about output, then color's just a matter of preference, and 6000K doesn't bother me at all. But if I can grab some more lumens for 20 bucks, why not?

Ha! I finally received my 4300K bulbs today! I ripped open (well not literally) the Stanley and replaced the bulb. I had to solder the wires because there are no connectors to the bulb. They simply soldered them, and placed those plastic covers over them.

Everything works great, and I have some crappy low quality pictures to show the difference. If you remember my post earlier showing the difference between the POB and Stanley...these are the same sort of picutres, but with the 4300K bulb.

Here you go!

There! What do you think of that?

The only thing I find weird (and someone let me know if their replacement acts the same way) is that the new 4300K starts up a lot slower than the 8000K bulb. Even with the "overdrive" feature it seems about as slow as the POB. Weird... AND the "overdrive" duration seems to last just as long no matter how long I have been running the light. For example, normally (with the 8000K bulb) if the bulb has been running for a while...and you shut off the light and restrike, the "overdrive" duration would be relativly short. For some reason now it seems to last the full 5 or so seconds, no matter the situation. Maybe I'm being to picky...I tend to be like that.

At least the good news is, the H3 bulb is a perfect fit...not too long. The focus seemed to have improved, I like the color, and it's pretty stinken bright! The photo might not show it, but I believe it is brighter than the POB's 6000K bulb. I still haven't tried this baby outside in pitch black woods or anything yet! Maybe this weekend I'll take them both over to my cousins to try em out.

Besides the 8000k and 4300k numbers, please explain the difference you saw with your eye? Was it an improvment from factory? Where can I order one?

I don't think I'm doing that quote thing right, I had to manually type the originally posted thing. But anyway, yes, the light looks brighter than it did with the 8000K. Theoretically, it should be almost 600 lumens brighter...going from an 8000K bulb to a 4300K bulb. The 8000K being 2500lm and the 4300K being 3100lm. I just got those numbers from a similar spot on ebay...not sure how accurate they are, but either way its going to be brighter. I also like the color better. I compared it with my 55W halogen spotlight and the 4300K blows it away. The color is slightly whiter than a halogen spotlight. The spot seemed to get more focused with this bulb, but that could be due to the way the new bulb is.

I bought the bulbs from hidwholesale88 on ebay. The cost is about 35 dollars (including shipping) for TWO bulbs. I requested one H7 and one H3 so I could replace the POB if I felt like it. You can choose any bulb type or bulb temperature (color) you want.

For those of you outside of the US, you may want to contact Baccus Global LLC located in Florida, USA @ 877-571-2391 to see if there are distribution channels outside of the USA. On the packaging label in fine print it notes that Baccus Global LLC uses the STANLEY brand under license so it may be that Baccus designed the light, had it built in China, and markets it by using the Stanley name. However, warranty registration & service is through Baccus Global so I think Stanley's involvement is just the name. Just my guess though....

The fastest way to do it would be to have a CPFer buy/ship it for you; I'm sure more than a few of these guys have more than one copy they'd be willing to part with, just post that you're interested..
