I agree with Patriot, Mjolnir and BVH.
The Stanley HID will illuminate objects over 1/2 a mile away and outputs 3000 lumens. I don't think any light except for another HID searchlight or giant reflectored Incan spotlight will match it in throw. The Stanley HID has no problem out throwing average 100 watt halogen spotlights, and by a significant amount. Not even my Sharper Image 100W 7'' reflector 10 million candlepower spotlight can match the Stanley in throw.

You cannot track down someone to buy it and ship it to you?? Even worst - case list one on e-bay with international shipping for you.
I ordered one for myself tonight from Amazon since the wife had no luck at our WM tracking one down.
Defninately am thankful to this forum for bringing this light to my attention as I was eyeballing a few other (possibly lesser) HIDs. :thumbsup:

Another fellow Connecticutian (apparently that is an actual term)!
I'm not sure what town you live in, but I got my Stanley from the Hartford Walmart, since the store nearest to me didn't have any. I would guess they probably still have some if you have another craving...

The Stanleys have been plentiful at most of the walmarts in my area (562, 714 area codes).

If you have a friend or cooperative CPF member in an Amazon-shippable country, he/she can buy it and ship it. A friend living in another state did this for me with an "illegal in NYC" item.

Picked mine up Saturday. Shimmed the bulb and removed the cover on the electrode wire. I also gave the yellow case a coat of paint while I had it apart, I wasn't too fond of all the yellow.
It doesn't look right in the picture, but it's more of a dark gray color.

Nice job Yadao-that's the colour it should be to begin with.

I had seen these at my local Wal-Mart for some time, and was highly tempted to get one then-- but once I read these threads I knew it was a MUST HAVE in my Toyota Previa.
I did take the time to make sure that the one I got looked like the bulb was well-aligned and the ceramic insulator was positioned at 6 o'clock (some had strange rotations), and that the packaging looked like it hadn't been dropped too many times.
All I can say is: "FANTASTIC!"
My wife thought that the pics of the refinery on page two of the first thread were photoshopped-- I can say now that they clearly weren't. This light delivers!
Well worth the $69.something for sure! (They tried to sell me a 1yr replacement warranty at the register at Wal-Mart, but I declined to spring for it since it already has a 1yr warranty. Found it odd that they tried to pull a Best Buy by selling additional warranties.)
