Vector SLH100V

Seems there is a newer version of the SLH100P. For those not familiar, these were available from numerous vendors and could occasionally be found heavily discounted at Sam's Club. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QURK48/?tag=cpf0b6-20

Anyways I got the newer SLH100V which comes in black. From the marketing photos you'd think its a nice little light like the Amondotech N30. In reality it is much larger and weighs almost 3 times as much (N30 is 3.5 lbs, SLH100V is 9.0 lbs) mainly because the SLH100V uses a lead-acid battery.

Its 35W 6000K where the N30 is 30W 4200K. A quick test shows that the SLH100V is brighter with a little more throw. The bad news is that its not easy to carry for portable ops due to its weight.

I use the N30 as my "horse headlight" for a section of road I travel between the trail and the barn. Works great and cars can easily see me from a safe distance. Thought I would try the SLH100V but its like lugging around a small brick. Probably a good light for the car trunk but not for carrying on the trail for extended distances...

I got it from Cabelas. Looked around to find it for a better price but the other places I checked were out of stock.

I saw this light at Cablela's some time ago. It is the same thing as the SC version. Some Sam's Clubs still have them in stock. Two near me still want $85. One a little too far away in Franklin, Wisconsin has them for $36.

at 36 bucks thats a steal i checked around here and there sold out near me.If i could have got it that cheap i would have definitely bought two.anything below 50 for these lights is insane! non CPF'ers just do not know what these are im sure.
