If you want a Nordic get em' while they last...My brother worked for the company but was laid off (Graphics department...first to go, first to be rehired, the guy above him had been laid off and rehired by them about 5 times, but anyway)
The company had in fact now gone out of buisness, they were going to be the official flashlight of the Olympics, but guess what...I did not see many lights durring the olympics...
Dynatec, the place that went out of buisness, also made other odds and ends like silverware things for your kitchen drawers, so they might have sold off the flashlight devision, here's an article on them...seems slightly out of date however
Dynatec International
I've got 2 AA ones, a black and a silver...I really like them, one of the cool things is the clip (They come with a clip) for my silver one is silver, and I know that the blue ones come with a silver clip, but my black one has a black clip. Not that big a deal but I donno...I realize that
Now, $21 to $27 for the AA model is way to much, I got mine in a 2 pack for $20...If you want the D-Cell ones you might check truck stops/gas stations...they actually sell them there, look for the bright yellow packaging (That interestingly enough my brother helped design)
Oh, almost forgot, here is a little page I made about my Black AA Nordic, nothing special but it's here for your taking...
