Nice torches in B&M stores in Australia finally?

[R@ndom]

Today I saw two non-ledlenser cree lights in major stores (kmart and **** smith). A duracell daylight and a enegizer hardcase 2xaaa inspection light with a xr-c. Also there's the enegizer lithium cree in safeway. What puzzles me more is that in coles every single torch except for the dolphin and the enegizer headlight is on clearence. Are we finally getting nice lights?

But the price ?

ive checked Kmart etc , and for the price , ill stick with my Solarforce L2's and Ultrafires ...

The enegizer lithium cree is actually cheaper here that in America at $40 keep in mind that it has ibs, the daylite was on clearence for $28 and forgot the price on the other one. Not too bad actually. Though it may be different elsewhere.

+ 1 on the energizer just starting to show here also in the outback of Wyoming, $15.-- for the cree 2 AAA. Where's the Hard Case 1 watt cree 2 AA?

The only thing they show is a 7 lumen 2 AA and a three bulb nichia on the website in the Hard Case series. They do show the new 1 AA and 2 AA lights with variable intensity control but haven't seen them in the stores yet.

What's a B&M store? Bricks and mortar?

**** smiths has had a cree for a while. Rather poorly made ones. They seem to get the ringiest cree's I think. Light output is awful, even compared to my Fenix L2D P4. I haven't seen them since in DSE but theres a similar one at Jaycar too.
