550 Lumens for under $20

Another bargain light. Home Depot sell the Defiant 550 Lumen Tactical light for $18.99.

It uses 3 C cells and claims to have 8 hours of run time.

Yes, I only got it a couple of days ago. So far, I'm impressed.

The fit and finish is good. I'm sure some of the more expensive flashlights are nicer, but gosh this light is a bargain. Even if their lumen and run time ratings are a bit "optimistic", it is bright and cheap!

This is a 3 C cell, aluminum light so it isn't lightweight, but depending on application that could be desirable.

I'm a big fan of finding bargain gear. I just don't want to carry things of such high value that I worry about them and become afraid to damage or lose them. Plus, I enjoy the "treasure hunting" aspect of finding good deals; I love it when I find something I can use at a thrift store or a garage sale. I've found Home Depot to be a decent source and I am often there to pick up things for work.

I've seen the duo pack of 120 lumen ones for $9.99 but not this. I assume you are from the US?

I got a three pack of 35l lights for $9.99 and they have red and green and white a piece. The 100l have eluded me.

Yep, found a big display of them at a Dallas, Texas store. Batteries are included. A sheet inside the package tells me it has a lifetime warranty which is honored at any Home Depot store.

Man, I sound like I'm pushing this item.

Sounds like a pretty good deal. But...in Germany I've only seen some crap lights. Incandescent mag lite 2D? 33 Euro. I hate to think what a real light, like a $20 Minimag Pro, would cost here.

I picked one of these up a few weeks ago at home depot in canada. They had tons of them in stock.

Not a bad light for the money, pretty damn bright. Battery life is better than I was expecting.

Where? I haven't seen these but took advantage of this deal when I dropped by. When I went back for another pack, they were sold out. They had about 50 packs two days before. Solid nice flashlight, no need to order the crummy ones off DX.
