Saw some new flashlight surprises at Lowes today...(NOT the Task Force)

[Delta]

First off, I stumbled upon a Energizer Hard Case 2-AAA CREE inspection light. 30 lumens, water-resistant, supposedly survives a 15ft drop, and comes with a belt sheath....for $14.95.

It doesn't SAY CREE, but it doesn't say Luxeon (which they usually do) and it looks just like the LEDs in my Fenix's and other Cree lights. It's definatley more "Cree-Bright" for 2-AAA.

Second...and this really shocked me...I see SUREFIRE G2L and 6PL LED lights in the "impulse" section of the checkout lines, of all places! I think they were $68 and $80-something.

They had some Luxeon 1W AA Task Forces...nothing speacial but new. This one dodn't have the Cree Task Force yet.

UNLESS the flood of "brighter than Surefire" lights out there start eating into your bottom line.....

BTW....I am SURE that the Energizer light is a Cree. No Doubt.

Energizer Cree!! Wow pretty cool. Didn't the original light have an optic? This one is a reflector then?

Yes, it is a reflector. I'd say the overall size of the reflector is about 2/3's the size of my L2D reflector. It's the same length as the L2D.

Delta, which central Ohio Lowes was that? I'll have to check that out.

This one is on South High street at I270. (South of 104)

Ok, I'll check out the ones closer to home first (west/NW side of C-bus), but if they don't have the same selection, I'll head south a little bit. Thanks!

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
SF @ Lowes!

Now just to wait until they move them on clearance some day.

 

[NeonLights]

On a whim I checked availability of the G2L on Lowes website, and the only central Ohio Lowes store that has them in stock (out of 8 or so stores) is the one that Delta was at in south Columbus. Looks like Lowes is still a bit lacking with their consistency and selection on some items.

 

[Schuey2002]

Yeah, I saw that they were selling SureFire flashlights when I was browsing their website last night. But after "shopping" at all their stores in the state, none of them list them as being in their inventory... :green:

 

[Sgt. LED]

None at my Lowes yet, but I'll happen in time.
I am hoping they will maybe stock plain G2's as well!

They also are selling a Cree version of Energizer's Hardcase Tactical angle head light, too..

That's the one that I want!

 

[Illum]

be afraid...be very afraid....
I expect to see a price drop/clearance of G2s!:thumbsup:

 

[LightJaguar]

Surefire at Lowe's? Those infidels. What next Target?

 

[Schuey2002]

Before you know it, they'll be peddlin' Fenix lights, too...

I'm just glad to see brands like Rayovac and Energizer putting CREE lights ON STORE SHELVES!!!!
