Two new Stanley FAT MAX LED Spotlights out

Re: Two new Stanley LED Spotlights out

I've been known to dabble in the "Stanley" arts. Wally's place here on the Central Coast had 2 of these so I snapped them up. I left the other 2 of the other Fat Max to someone else. Wasn't that sporting of me?

My Stanley Fatty has 2 Panasonic CGR2250's humming away under the hood.

So these come with LiMn and not LiPoly?

No, I popped the hood and made some changes.

I picked one of these up for 59.88 I think it was as a boat light (good for finding my way back down the channel on moonless nights). Really impressive thrower for the price, IMO. Note that if you want 1/2 power, you can hold the power switch button when you pull the trigger and it will start off in 1/2 mode.

Hi guys and girls. Total newb here. First post.

I just picked up a FatMat at Lowes at lunch and it's an HID. Here are a couple of pics. I haven't even opened it yet!

Whoa. Li-Ion HID from Stanley. I might have to ****can my old Stanley HID.
1300 ANSI lumens, 30 minute runtime, and (2/3)64000 CD.
And... Li-Ion charger circuitry built in.

(35W for half an hour is ONLY 20watt-hours or so. Can we do better, CPF?)

I checked the local Walmart here, and they had three of the 2000 Lumen XML spotlights and several of the 530 lumen models. Did they originally plan a sst90 light and switch it to an XML to save cost, while never changing the packaging? In most noncustom lights, Engrish for 750-800 Ansi Lumens is 1000-1100 Lumens. So this is supising.

Wow thats cool. I had to do a double take on it. "Wait a minute wheres the heatsink?"... maybe a 25W lamp + ballast in there?

Anyone know of any UK retailers? I've looked in the usual places and some of the more unusual lol Our stores seem way behind in regards to illumination devices, apart from very specialist retailers it's still all mag and lenser stuff.

Some Meijer stores have these lights. Meijer is a chain in and around Michigan.
One store had some on the shelf marked 2000 lumens and the shelf tag price was $49.99.
Meijer has some 'Santa Bucks' coupons good on Saturday, Nov. 24, 2012 after Thanksgiving that should knock another 10 bucks off.

Go to Meijer.com and plug in your info for the weekly ads. It is the Saturday Only sale with the coupons.
The link I had posted stopped working.

Sam's club in tyler TX has the 2000 lumen for $29.99.
Edit ; it is the 2200 halogen model, not led but still seems to be a good deal. comes with home and car charger cords.

Re: Two new Stanley LED Spotlights out

saw a youtube review. I looks like a relabled black and decker spotlight . same case and controls. and price. B&D claimes 770+Lumens has the heat sink fins on the sides and ratching handle on top. Mines a great thrower. less volume of light compared to the roybiHID but lot lighter and smaller. would love a ryobi plusone LED spot. I like swapable batteries. the black&decker is mod# :LEDLIB.
fl1RATED 775 LUMENS 633m100,267CD always reasy holds charge 12months.
1hour hi7hour low.

Rather than start a new thread, I'll necro this one to mention that Stanley has updated these spotlights. The new one is rated at 920 lumens, and has some small changes to the design, including a third heatsink "port" on top just underneath the foldout stand, and an XM-L2 emitter. That additional heatsink port interests me, it suggests the prior generation (of which I have one) had overheating issues.

I'm currently moving, so didn't have time or funds to get a closer look.

Is it this one?

I had the hid spotlight and loved it. But the main problem with these stanley spotlights is the mediocre runtime. The older model was tear down and revealed 2S 18650 2,000Ah rated generic cells. I think they could have done so much better. Perhaps for the non-flashaholics 750lm for 1Hr is superb performance, and they are missing the good stuff...

 

[Canuke]

richardcpf, that pic is not the one I saw, but your teardown link is the correct older model ("LEDLIS" as Stanley, "LEDLIB" in its' Black and Decker trim).

Hope posting to this older thread is not breaking the rules, but the thread is very related to my question here.... (My first Post)

BVH, (if you see this) .... or anyone else that may know ... Could the newer Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh Protected PCB be used to replace the existing original batteries and gain additional run time between needing to be recharged..?

And would the Stanley AC charger still be OK to use to recharge...?

Thanks in advance for opinions and replies....
