New 170 lumen Craftsman Flashlight at K-MART! "PICS ADDED with Revised Details!"

Was at my local K-MART today and made a visit to the flashlight section. To my amazement I saw a new Tactical Craftsman led model with a 170 LUMEN rating. It is a K2 LUXEON LED powered by a Six "AAA" battery carrier. It has a multi mode switch with high being 170 lumen & 85 lumen low. The price is marked at $39.99.


Does anyone have information on this model?

Was at my local K-MART today and made a visit to the flashlight section. To my amazement I saw a new Tactical Craftsman led model with a 170 LUMEN rating. It was powered by two triple "AAA" battery carriers. Not only that but it was multi mode with 170 lumens being the high setting. I totally forgot the low setting but believe it was more then half the power of high mode. Finally the price was set at $39.99.

Somehow I doubt those AAA's last for very long.

i really don't like these type of lights. i can't imagine someone trying to replace the batteries.

if it is a rebadged dorcy, those are horrible. they are only the full output at the very very beginning and already dropping in the first minutes.

we already sell those...

WHAT!?!?!? And I don't have one?

I'd like to add that I'm pretty sure I've seen a Dorcy somewhere that has the same specs and cell config. as this guy and I think it used the new K2.

You have to upload pictures to a 3rd party hosting site like photobucket or imageshack, and insert them via the "insert image" icon above.

Powered the thing up as soon as it got dark and holy sh&t this thing is bright. Up until now I thought my 6PL was bright until I bought a Taskforce 2C Cree which impressed me even more, that is until now. This light is currently the brightest flashlight I have ever personally held. Has a huge hotspot & throws pretty darn far well to me at least! If yall think this sucks then I'd imagine a M60 in my 6P is going to blow my mind!


I Wrote a thread not too long back about why "3aaa" flashlights are so horrible and got the overall jist that "aaa" batteries are whats so horrible. So I assume the general consensus on this light is going to be poor due to it having not 1 triple aaa carrier but two.


With that being said, tomorrow I'm going to kill the brand new e2 lithium batteries I just bought and provide yall a runtime both alkaline & lithium. I also appreciate any further info any of yall can give me on this light & its specs.
