Rayovac 150 for $22

[Genxsis]

I got a Menard's sale paper in the mail yesterday and it had a black ROV light that kind of looks like a Maglite, and it says it is 150 lumens and the sale price is a little over $22. Is that the Cree version everyone's been talking about?

I think so.

Just to make sure, did it look like this(more pics)

I just went online and searched all four Menards sale papers and didn't find anything but Rayovac batteries.

Look for the Menards Christmas Catalog. It is in there.

Yes, that is the same one, but it is actually dark green (the pic in the ad sucks) with a black rubber grip. Looks just like the one I bought from Meijer.

I doubt it. It says "4w LED" so this is only 40 lumens/watt. A CREE, even a P4 would give 150 at less than 3 watt, a CREE Q5 would do it at less than 2 watts.

I was just there at the store yesterday and saw it for the first time. The package says 150 lumens and 100 hour run time. Nothing about the bulb type.

I also noticed the 2AA Sportsman extreme is undergoing a change. They used to have an 80 lumen version and it had a tailcap clickie. Now all they have is a new version that does 45 lumens and has a side clickie and the body looks completely different and is longer. There was actually 1 of the old version of the 45 lumen model that looked exactly like the 80 lumen. The package was exactly the same too. Also on sale for 12.45.

I was hoping the 80 lumen with the tailcap switch would stick around and go on sale, but I guess I missed that.
