Takes 2 D cells (included) 3 yr. Warranty Caveat Emptor- The quality control of these lights is not the highest. Make sure (visually) that the LED emitter is centered in the reflector end. If you get a bad one, take it back for a good one.
I won't spend over prolly $35 or so for a single flashlight, there are plenty of great flashlights that are equal if not better than the crazy Surefires of the world. Sadly I like many others here am a Flashlight Freak, where you could find about 15 flashlights (mostly LED) within view in my bedroom alone (always looking for the best one!
I'll be picking one of these up after work today I think.
I bought a few of the Task Force 3w Cree flashlights from Lowes for $30 each. I really like them, but I would love to see this new Husky from HD. I have been reading all about it on the candlepowerforums. Hopefully we see some coupons for Home Depot soon!

I'm pretty sure this just the regular price.
then why is this even posted if indeed this is reg. price, maybe op has stock in the company and is hoping for a good quarter results, it's not a hot deal.

It may be regular price, but it's a fantastic value, don't be a flashlight hater. Think of like the several year long thread about zennioptical, even though the glasses are "regular" price, or how monoprice pops back up every few months, even though it's not a "deal" per their own prices, it's a boat load better value than retail... I think both of those should become stickies... but that's just me.

Has anyone found this flashlight else where that is cheaper? on the web perhaps?

The OP posted it cause one word *VALUE* which makes it a hot deal and I thank the OP for sharing this and saving me time and money.
In your case, the item might be useful(i.e. valuable)in shedding light in the vacinity of your head and shoulders. Just something you might want to reflect on.

Yes and it is kind of amusing. I collect them by accident. I was not aware that people would post photos and review flashlights. Oh well, it's harmless.
Thanks OP. Looks like a great deal. But like RAMs, flash drives, DVD burners, and whatever that I am already drowning in thanks to FW...I may have to pass on this one.
I did indeed post this because of the high value, and to alert people that it exists. You can actually POINT to stars with this thing! (Like a light saber) People in the flashlight addiction (Yes, It's an addiction) pay hundreds for this kind of power.
Lugs said: Flashlight forums? Now I've seen it all..
No, you haven't. They have insanely modified flashlights there.
I have this light- bought it after I saw it on CandlepowerForums.com/vb - and let me tell you it is one bright light. I used to think my little 1.5 watt LED light was bright- it would light up my neighbors garage across the street. With this light I light up his garage, thru the windows, out the back door window, and then the back yard.
It's so bright I can see leaves (and photograph them) clearly at trees that are probably 300-400 feet away.
It's so bright my wife makes fun of me now for wanting another one
What's the passion with flashlights? I'm not thread crapping, I just want to try and understand the thrill I'm missing. Can someone explain this??
Is it like overclocking a CPU. No real world benefit but the trill in getting more output/$?? Is there something new that I've never seen before with these fancy flashlights??

Dammed if I know what happened. I was just a normal guy in mid August. I obtained a Duracell Daylite 160 lumens flashlight, and the next thing I knew, I was obsessed with the damn things! I started seeking out everything I could that was flashlight related. When I saw the Husky 200 lumens version in a thread in candlepowerforums, with what are called beam shots, I felt compelled to compare it to my Daylite 160. It's a primitive instinct that kicks in or something. The newest generation of LED's are not your father's flashlights! You just can't begin to describe how good these things make you feel until you try one.
But I digress...
Any other flashaholics out there have a better grasp of what happened to them?

i am one of those that have spent $500 on 3 flashlights...
Warning - last I heard, flashaholism (a.k.a. 'flashing') may get you arrested in 21 states.
So just how soon will it be until I can just wire up an array of these emitters in and outside of my home for crazy amounts of illumination with insanely low power bills? Bring it on!
why not. i need to go to the depot tonite anyways. might as well pick one up. can always use a good flashlight

Can we call those that shine their high-power laser pointers at airplanes "extremists"?
May I ask one of your flashlight gurus what are the best LED flashlights that run off AA batteries? The AA kind is always on sale at CC or BB like $10 for 24 of them.
Now I am afraid in becoming a flashlight addict myself.

Thanks. I actually live in Lancaster, PA---will try there next, just happened to be in York today. I'll live if I can't find one, just sounded like fun.
