Recognize this HID spotlight!

[ANDREAS FERRARI]

My local Canadian Tire has started selling this http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/p...4443309186&assortment=primary&fromSearch=true I was hoping someone would recognize the manufacturer of this light so I would have some idea of it's quality.Canadian Tire has a new sale each week so eventually I can buy one for less than $40.00.I already have a POB and this light is likely similar but being a compulsive flashaholic I will probably buy it!

Sorry but that link didn't bring me to a spotlight page. I continued into the website but still didn't find anything about the light. Wrong link possibly?

You just put the zipcode "M4S6B7" on the field and it will take you directly to the spotlight page.

It looks like a POB type of light, maybe a clone, here is a pic.



Looks like the HID bulb is frosted 😕, The reflector doesn't look very shinny, Not sure if it will throw far.

Looks like POB.

I wonder what the color tempreature is and if the bulb is frosted. It should still throw pretty far due to output.

Edit: well, reminded me of the POB but after looking at pics it doesn't look like one.

If it is a POB it's an entirely different body mold.

It's not a POB and I don't think it's made by the same manufacturer. Just doesn't have the look of all POB, Costco, Mega-Illuminator, etc. - all made by the same mfg.

Hi fellow Winnipeg CPFer! :wave:

Have you seen the light in the stores yet, or is it just online for now?

 

[Patriot]

Oh and btw, yes, it looks like a heck of a good deal. I like the appearance as much if not more, than the POB.

I've seen one in the CT on Fermor and 2 in the CT at the Garden City mall.BTW when Bass Pro Shoppes opens it's new store we will be able to buy Surefires locally.

This is the same 35w HID spotlight one of our Aussie electronics dealers is peddling for $165.00 (approximately $110 USD) as seen HERE, according to the specifications it's a 6000K bulb temp :thumbsup:

 

[ANDREAS FERRARI]

Nice catch M@elstrom,obviously this is the same light from the same manufacturer.Currently Canadian Tire is selling this at approx. $65.00 U.S.But when it goes on sell it will be around $50.00 U.S. And later, maybe under $35.00! I'm guessing anyone in this section would gladly buy it at that price!

That is a really great and aggressive looking HID spotlight. I'd love to add one to my growing collection. My only problem with it is even though it's powered by a 12v 7Ah battery like the POB, it's runtime is terrible. At least a POB with a 7Ah battery gets you 70-90 minutes. I wonder why there's such a difference. I'd still love to have one. If anyone purchases one of these, please post some nice photos.

Hell yes! 😀


I suppose we're lucky to see it here at all considering the relative small size of our consumer market... I mean they only just began selling standard Maglights here in chain stores (previously specialist stores only) 😉

Reflector design is identical to the Thor Scout/Arlec RT3500... I wonder how it would compare to my existing HID conversion? :thinking:

 

[AlexGT]

Andreas, I Noticed that someone is doing a group buy for this light here in the market place, look in the group buy section when available (CPFMP not working right now)

[ANDREAS FERRARI]

I looked and couldn't find it,do you have a link?

Hey Thanks! I'll probably go check it out sometime this week. It would be nice to see the light in person and get a feel of it.

 

[ANDREAS FERRARI]

I almost forgot,thanks AlexGT for posting a picture of the Light,the link may not work probably outside of Canada.:thumbsup:

[HighLight]

I just bought this light for $59.00. It's my first HID so I have nothing to compare it to. The bulb is frosted and it's advertised as 6000k. Its fairly large and heavy though.Larger than the pictures imply. Mine starts up right away..almost no ramping of the output.

Do anyone know what implication the frosted HID bilb will have on lumens?

The price is right though!

 

[ANDREAS FERRARI]

Thanks for letting me know they're on sale LiteShow.I'm currently working on the family farm 300kms north of Winnipeg and nowhere near a CT.A friend of mine is coming from WPG. tomorrow and will try to pick one up for me.I have my ROP( i mean my POB-getting my acronyms mixed up) with me and will try to compare them tomorrow night.
