Living in Europe -not good if you\'re hooked on flashlights
Most of the flashlights mentioned in this forum are seldom found in Europe. That is pretty darn annoying.
However, Maglites, Silvas and Petzls are easy to find. I guess Silva is not easy to get in US considering it's a Swedish product.
I decided to get Energizer ArcWhite and Folding LED Lantern. I searched Norwegian WEB-sites, importers and distributors. I also checked every single sport/outdoor and toolshops in town without luck. The only option was to contact Energizer's office in UK. However, they couldn't help much either, which is somewhat strange considering the size of this company and the fact that I have seen Energizer batteries in almost every shop here.
I gave up and began looking for Surefire. I located one shop in Norway, and the E2 there cost 100$! The same shop provided Streamlights as well, to absurd prices.
Princton Techs and Black Diamond products were impossible to find.
Then i took a stroll in the town center to buy a pair of socks. Most amazingly i saw the ArcWhite in a little basket outside a nearby grocery-store. Behind that basket was the Folding LED Lantern and all Double Barrel models! A little later i went to a book-shop to buy pencils and notebooks. There i saw Princton Tech headlamps on sale and Underwater Kinetics Lightcannon 100, which i have spent 100 hours (at least) trying to find in diving, sport and outdoor shops.
I think i will begin looking in restaurants or cinemas to find Black Diamond products.......
