2-Pack Defiant100 Lumens Cree LED Flashlights $9.88 instore only at HomeDepot
Hopefully this is my first successful post here! I have tried twice previously but the store I wanted to post was not allowed on this site
. Anyway, while looking for the 500 lumen Defiant Flashlight at Home Depot; I also came across these for under $10. These would make great stocking stuffers or small anywhere flashlights. They are all aluminum body flashlights that use 3x AAA batteries (which are included). The size is nice and compact. Being the size that usually uses a bunch of low power LEDs to make light; instead they use one high power CREE LED. The LED is mounted on a star on a threaded metal insert. So heat transfer to the body of the flashlight should be pretty good. The LED star says CREE XB-D on it and looking at the CREE website the LED does look identical to an XB-D [cree.com]. Cree mentions this LED has 40% higher output capability than the venerable XP-E. At 100 lumens it won't outshine the megatorches or any of the XM-L based flashlights but it is a capable decent power flash light that seems pretty well made to me. Which when you consider all of the above, it seem to me that this is a pretty decent price for an in-store name brand decent power LED flash light.
