What do you think of this flashlight I found at:
www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=4V026

Its a LumaPro brand from Grainger. Is it worth $38? That seems like a good price.

I looked it up at Grainger:
Grainger
They want $105 for it!
<Edit
I wonder if anyone has any experience with it, and/or whether it would be a good mod candidate.

That is a good price, they were being sold here a while back for $60-70 methinks. It doesn't specify if it takes bipins or pr-bulbs though--has to be bipins. EDIT: Nope, it takes pr-based halogens, that's strange.

Pretty sure that's a relabeled Brinkmann Legend rechargeable. The dual switch is a giveaway. The cheap one is...

The expensive one Grainger sells looks to be the Brinkmann Promax.

I do find it interesting that the Promax is a three-cell light. Less powerful and flexible than the 5-cell MagCharger or 6-cell Tigerlight.

Closed. Concurrent thread running in General. And, it is a discontinued Brinkmann...
