New Task Force 1W 3xAA light at Lowes

Quickbeam · Nov 6, 2005

Just thought I would mention, I saw a display with well over 100 Luxeon 1W 3xAA cell Task Force lights at Lowes. 17.99 each. I did not pick one up yet.

They appear to be plastic with a side switch. Very large collimator optic. Looks like Luxeons have really hit the mainstream.

Did you ever purchase one of these lights? I saw it online,and thinking about buying one,if nothing else,just to get the led out of it

..So if you bought one,I know your post is over a month old so... Let me know how that thing works and such,if you purchased one....

Thanks
Russ

This one?

I picked one up recently. The optic is different from many like even the task force 3xAAA 1 watt in that it doesn't have much of a pronounced hot spot. That makes it appear to be not very bright. In use however, it does put ouit a decent wide beam throw of decent light.

It is a simple resistored light. All plastic and therfore only the star's plate for a heat sink. So it may run 80,000 hours rather than the normal 100,000

Yup,thats the one Bam..

Ok thanks Pellidon,I may pick one up just for the led,Since to purchase one on line would be the same amount of $..

The price of this light has gone from 18$ to 15$ now,Perfect for parts

JUst picked one up. $15 for a Luxon star and 3 batteries, not bad. Of course the rest of the light is ..well pedestrian.

$15 sounds great, and I agree... the looks of it are pretty... uhh... boring. Hope it works as well as my Sam's Element lights. My only complaint about the Element is the short battery life on 3 aaa's.

Does this light from Lowe's use the battery carrier like in the 3aaa lights like the Sam's Element?

My big question is,Does it come apart easy?? Or would it require a saw of some sort to remove that plastic head??
