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?
