Dorcy 1Watt Luxeon 3D at Target..more

marinemaster · Jul 25, 2005

Hi guys,

Got a Dorcy 1Watt 3D at Target for $29.99
Is very bright and I let it run for about an hour. Great output. Is not that heavy to me. A bit long but that is ok. Way brighter than the competitors with regular bulbs. Really like it. For $29.99 is as cheap as you can get. Great light guys, buy one.

Can you explain what it is?

Unless there is another one that I haven't seen yet the Dorcey Metal Gear that nemul refers to is a 3AAA light. Its a bit larger then my Strion in the body, almost as large around as my Twin Task 3C and it has a reverse clickie tailcap. It uses a battery carrier and is a 1w led. As far as I know it doesn't have any regulation. I picked mine up for around $18. Seems to be a well made light and is fairly bright for that price, it also has fairly good throw although I don't have any luxeons to compare it to.

Marinemaster,

How does the form factor compare to a 3D M@g in terms of quality?

Here's thread that discusses an alternative for this type of light (the EverLED):

Multi LED retrofit bulbs for D size M*G-lites

Finally, here's a review of the one you bought if you haven't seen it already:

Has anyone else tried the Dorcy 3D?

PlayboyJoeShmoe · Jul 26, 2005

That does NOT look like the light I saw at a Target in Lufkin... I remember a gold color and some rubber here and there...

Need to look harder I guess....

Mike 161 · Jul 26, 2005

The one I saw (and bought) was like a bronze color, with a rubber sleeve and rubber anti-roll device on the head. IMHO, it's a good around-the-house light, but the walls feel thinner than a Mag-Lite and would probably dent easily.

The quality is lower than Mag as far as the body is concerned. The treads are not as smooth. The finish is not as good. It does have a smooth reflector, but unfortunately that is the standard. However for me it does not matter. I like it and I hope I find a 2D model also.
Hopefully they will have a 3W model with 2D, that would be my favorite for brightness and run time.

I just picked up the 3D Dorcy 1 Watt at Target a couple of hours ago. Awesome throw, a tad bit on the heavy side. The tail cap reminds me of some Nuwai lights I've seen in other pics. When I opened the head the LED was quite accessible, would it be possible to just drop in a 3W? (In theory?)

PlayboyJoeShmoe · Jul 30, 2005

Check your local Wallyworld... I got a Gray Dorcy Super 1 Watt 3D tonight for $22.72

TORCH_BOY · Jul 30, 2005

Been checking target in AU, no luck yet, maybe they will
import Led Flashlights in the future

Sean · Jul 31, 2005

I picked one up from Target on Friday (A Dorcy "Super 1W" 3D cell light). I wish I could have found one at Wal-Mart for $22.72! But it's still a great light for $30. Very bright, good color luxeon in mine. A lot of throw. I like it!

I put a few pictures of it here: Dorcy Super 1 Watt

I finally got a Dorcy with an excellent tint, white.

If you can lift up the star without breaking anything, what bin code is under it?
When you put the star back down, put in a little computer thermal grease under there before you do to make life easier for that star.

I had a metal gear and sold it to to buy the 3d dorcy. I think the throw is better on the 3d and 300 hours run time(give or take) and walmart has the light for 22.99. Very happy with this light .

3rd Shift,

I have a RYAJ emitter in my 1 Watt 3 D.

I've heard from a few users that these Dorcy 1W D's have R bin luxeons in them typically. Not bad for under $25.

Has anyone spotted these in Canada yet? I don't have Target in my area, but various stores carry Dorcy lights, just not all models.

Just picked up one of the Super 1W 3D's (the one with the rubber hex ring on the head) at Target. On sale for $19.79 (10% off $21.99). Has a RX1H and it is bright and white (much brighter hotspot and same color as my excellent PP 4AA Lux). Awesome deal.
