Husky 2D 4Watt LED REVIEW! Compared To Taskforce 2C

Well I bought the MAg Rebel and my hot spot isn't as perfect in the comparison link, the hot spot looks brighter than the Huskey but the husky has more spill, I'll see how it performs a night, at the very least Im going to exchange it I like throw so I'll probably keep a Mag Rebel, I got mine at Academy Sport and OutDoors for $24.95.
 
No. It round but has a lopsided look, in a pic it woul look better than it does in real life, its not bad its just not useing a perfect circle even my luxeon mags were a little rounder, how do I do the tweak?
 
Tweaking it is a trial and error process. Turn off the light, then remove the head/reflector assembly. Rotate the LED module (using its knurled edge) about 1/8 turn (about 22.5 degrees). Replace the head, turn on the light and adjust for the tightest spot. If it does not improve its shape, repeat the process turning the LED in the same direction. At some point, you will find that the spot will assume an optimum shape.
 
I had just purchased the Husky 2D at Home Depot for $19! I was expecting to pay $30 after reading the reviews from this form! Living in Chicago, I expected to pay more since our taxes are so high, etc!

I absolutely love the Husky 2D! So cheap and the flood is very extreme! The throw is extremely impressive for a light that is under $20, let alone even if it cost $100.

I like the design because it is different and I do not find it "fugly" either lol

I do not mind the rings (halos) from the light as it is basically an all in one light (flood, throw, brightness).

I was in love with my L2D, and truthfully if this light was not so big, I'd carry it everywhere.

This is my new beater light. I dont mind if I drop it, abuse it, etc. And also this will be the flashlight I will use to "beat" someone in a self defense situation lol
 
I scored a Husky 2D last night for $19. They still have 2 more, so if someone is jonesing for one let me know. They all appear to have well centered emitters.

Sure - it's ugly, but like other have said - it's may car [truck] "beater" light and for $19 - who can resist?
 
Was at HD tonight and managed to run across one. Ugly as sin.. looks like the body and head were designed to go with completely different lights. Who would design something like that?

Light is a crazy thrower. My LED is sorta off-center but not bad enough to make much of a difference: the beam is super ringy and the only real usable part is the center hotspot. But that goes far!
 
Out of curiosity, do the people who complain about the looks of the flashlight keep it holstered to their hip all day? I dont understand why it matters what a flashlight looks like, if it function is fine than design wouldn't matter. If design causes it to perform poorly, then thats a valid complaint.

Now if the flashlight was neon pink, then I would complain about that...lol 🙂
 
The "look" of a flashlight is part of its design. If the look is weird and nonsensical, then it makes me wonder if the rest of it is discombobulated as well.

For example, this flashlight looks like the head and body are designed NOT to go together. The different colors, the different designs, the fact that the head and body do not match up in any way other than the threading.

It makes me wonder if either head or the body was cannibalized from another design. "Hey, we got all these silver heads and the Shanzai Corp didn't come through with the matching bodies. Should we use the GH303 body since it's threaded the same?" "Sure, Cheng."

Just makes me wonder....
 
"Hey, we got all these silver heads and the Shanzai Corp didn't come through with the matching bodies. Should we use the GH303 body since it's threaded the same?" "Sure, Cheng."

Cheng doesn't work for the Shanzai Corporation anymore... Surefire hired him. :grin2: :duck:
 
Hey, mine started running a little low on the batteries tonight and began to flicker! If I turned it off for a few minutes it would stop flickering then start again as the batts ran back down. Is this normal? I'm still using the crappy Everreadys that came with the thing.
 
I've been to a couple of HD's, one in Chicago-land and another in Minnesota...and they have these lights in the Clearance sections....$19.

Great for Father's Day!

Mine just died. Took the old batteries out (working), put the new batteries in, not working.

Just like that.
 
I have been lucky with these so far. None (0/3) have gone bad, although the one I keep in the hall closet has "mysteriously" developed impact related cracks on the plastic cover. (I have two kids, and a wife that is like a bull in a china shop.)

These have been further reduced at Home Depot now, down to $14 with no coupon! (I bought 2 more😗.)
 
Gah!

Mine flooded with water while searching for leaks in the bottom of my pool. It looks like Home Depot stopped carrying these - has anyone still seen them for sale recently?
