Sportsman\'s Guide

Has anyone seen any of the lights from these people. They have one which has a 12 volt xenon bulb and what looks like 3 A19 adapters. In other words it will transform from 1 to 4 batteries or in between dependent on the number of adapters used. I called them and all they could say was that the light is Chinese made.
Only$45. MSRP $100

Anyone know these lights or have experience with them.

I'm a member of the "buyers club" over at the Sportsmans Guide. I buy some stuff from them. However I have to admit that a lot of their stuff is very low quality. They say MSRP is $100? Yeah right, they just as easily could have MSRP'd $200. If they want $45.00 for it then it probably is a $25.00 light. They do have a good return policy though.

How can you go from 12 volt to 6 volt with out changing the bulb?? If it was a 9 volt bulb at 6 volts it would be underdriven and at 12 volts over. It sounds more like a sales gimic.
