This is my favorite. I think it is handsome in its simplicity, and I like the "Copper Top".
The Daylite 160 version (2CR-123's) Cannot be found in Walmarts, Targets, Home Depots or Lowes. They are currently sold only in a couple of places, Ace Hardware being the well known place to get them. (It is currently $32.99 plus shipping) Even at an Ace brick & morter they most likely would have to order them. The reason is that Duracell makes two 80 lumens models for Walmart, and just about all of Duracell's production capacity is currently going toward filling Wallmart's inventory. (You will have no problem finding the 80 lumens 2AA and 3AAA models, they are on Walmart shelves everywhere.) The Duracell person I spoke to says that Walmart decided NOT to take the 160 model, but didn't say why. ($10 more than the 80 models)
Anyway, I took pics from my 2nd story back porch to my shed (Exactly 66 ft. away) , comparing the Daylite 160 to my Mag 2D. Although both beams were focused on the center of the shed, I was impressed with the spill of the Daylite, Which went to the end of the neighbors fence, (~ 164 feet) shed, and side of house.
