New Rayovac flashlight.

About 2 weeks ago I saw in my local K-mart Ray-O-Vac 1 watt and 3 watt LED flashlights. Metal body, adjustable beam, waterproof, nice looking flashlights. The both use two AA batteries.

I searched google for them and have found absolutely nothing! Not even at ray-o-vacs website. In the entire internet there is no mention of ray-o-vac 1 and 3 watt led flashlights. I belive they are called "Highbeams". Does anyone know anything about these lights?

Yeah, I just got the 3 watt version, I will be reviewing it shortly. It is a very nice light.

Did you buy it at KMart? What was the price?

Yeah I got it at my local kmart, I believe the price was either 30 or 35.

Cabelas is selling the same light.

Did they look like This, This or This
If yes, then they are rebranded Nuwai flashlights.

The new Rayovac "Highbeam" 3 watt LED is definitely a rebranded Nuwai X-3. I saw it today at K-Mart, for $29.99. It looked very nice in the packaging, with clip,lanyard and holster, in a dark blue finish.

I would have bought it, but I just bought the River Rock 3 watt at Target, which is another rebranded X-3, ($24.99, camo, with no clip or holster).

Question - Does anyone who has this light notice that the threads are kind of rough, making one-handed operation a little difficult? Mine is like that, and according to FLR, Doug's sample was a little rough also.:huh2:

I just bought the Cabela's re-branded Nuwai X-3, and the threads on the tail cap are very smooth. The threads on the Cabela's version are anodized, and I've seen some pictures of the Nuwai branded X-3 where the threads are not. This might have something to do with the smoothness of the tail cap.

Here is the picture of the Nuwai X-3 with non-anodized threads (unlike mine):

MMGeneral - yup, the threads on my RR X-3 are like those in the picture; no anodize. That seems to make it a little sticky while twisting it on.

Can you easily operate your X-3 one-handed?

I may just buy the Rayovac X-3 to see if it is like yours ( no Cabelas near here), because I really like the 2AA format. It looks real clean and smooth in the packaging.

I can operate mine with one hand. It doesn't catch or stick when turning. Too bad I don't have a light with the same style switch to compare it to though.
