If not already done, It would be nice to keep a running thread or list somewhere of high effeciency flashlights that are showing up in common department stores.

To qualify, the light must contain a LED of high effeciency, such as the Cree XR-E LED or better and be sold in a common chain department store that have at least several hundred locations. It should be sold in the physical store, not just the Website.

So far, I'm aware of these three:

1) Ray-O-Vac Sportsman Extreem 3C cell, so far found at Meijers $25
2) Task Force 2C, found at Lowes (possibly sold elswhere under another brand name) $30
3) Energizer 2AA (2-pack), Sams club $30

Unfortunately, these flashlights are hard to find. They are more often than not, not instock at the retailer in many locations,

Any other lights to report on?

Two more at Lowes:

4) Energizer Hard Case Professional anglehead - $34.97

5) Energizer Hard Case Inspection Light - $14.97

These lights both appear to have CREEs and are currently mentioned in
other posts today and yesterday.

Costco has a 3AAA Leatherman Cree light for $29.99. Looks pretty nice IMO. Very similar to lights made by Coast.

Saw the Coleman Cree XR-E 4AA lantern at Fairfax, VA REI. Not exactly a big box store though. I expect Sports Authority will start carrying them soon.

PS Personally I prefer to shop Lighthound, Brightguy, Fenix-store, etc than Big Box anyday.
