Home Depot "Huskey" 200 lumen vs Lowes "Task Force" 60X
It seems the gang at Candlepower found a new super beast flashlight. It is sold by Home Depot. The thread is in the led flashlight forum and makes for interesting reading.

Looks very bright and inexpensive, but probably too big to be ideal for bike use.

I just bought one of the husky lights. It completely washes out my coleman max which is rated at 115 lumens. So it is bright. I have not taken the time to look for O ring seals and such, which is important when commuting.

I suppose you could mount two of them, but that would be a rather large package. Nice flashlight for the money, particularly if you want a narrow beam thrower to illuminate house numbers from your car, etc. I plan on keeping mine but doubt it will see much bicycle use.

You Know!? For Kids!
I wonder if a diffusing type lens could be fit to one?

They also have a Husky brand 3 watt LED that runs on 3 AA batteries for about $18. It is very bright. It could easily light the way for riding. Rated at 145 lumes. About 4-5 inches long, 1.5 in diameter. Seems like a very good light.
