3x D-cell Rosewill LED flashlight $18 shipped

New code EMCNJNB86 exp.1/14

Rosewill RLFL-11003
$17.99 with free shipping available from 3:00PM - 5:59PM PST 11/12/12

Uses 3x D-cell batteries.

I purchased one of these for the same price over Summer. It is insanely bright. It is very similar in size/shape to the old Mag Lights, but it is a lot brighter (yes I have a D-cell Mag Light too). I do believe it throws more light than the HIDs in my car. I can put a spotlight on a tree nearly a block away. I'm only using cheap dollar store batteries (alkaline 2x D for $0.99).

This is not an EDC flashlight (everyday carry). This is one of those flashlights you leave in the house, and bust out with in an emergency.

i really want one, but you dont seem to give it a glowing review saying "not for everyday carry" so i was thinking i would shop around and look for something 10$ more that not want to throw away if power switch breaks (few reviews mentioned the switch and contact).. I want it tho if you say it is good.

 

[skyking]

switch has not broken for me, you just need to remember to leave your thumb off it. Any pressure and it turns it off.

It IS good. What I mean by "EDC - everyday carry" means it doesn't fit in any of my pockets, at 12.4" long. My EDCs all use a single AA battery. Not as bright as this 3xD, but infinitely more portable. My Rosewill now resides in my car trunk. At home I have a 4xD MagLite that I got a cheap drop-in replacement LED a couple weeks ago.

Lately my EDC has been a blue version of this zoom LED flashlight. The clip is very sturdy, so when I go to work I just clip it on my belt like a true nerd. If I want to have something actually in my pocket, I have an old LED Lenser unit that is super compact and doesn't have any pseudo assault crown.

There was another promo code that came in an e-mail before this. I'm not sure if it's specific to certain accounts. It is 20% off all Rosewill Flashlights. BTENJNC63

I like the smaller, AAA-powered model.

And now that I check that link, it's OOS. Damn.

 

[jjmIII]

I'll give it a try at that price Zap!

Here is my EDC. The AA version.

The plumber had one of mine under the house for a few days, dragging it around in a confined crawlspace. I'm sure it took some abuse
Works fine.

Like everything Rosewill makes, this flashlight is a P.O.C.! I bought it last time it was $17, waste of money...

What is wrong with yours?

 

[mizzou]

I bought a 3d LED Maglite for work and it was fine, and cheaper then this one I think, but I'm sure it's brighter then a maglite LED.

I also got a 4 LED Maglite for work for "better reach" and holy crap they are hard to find. I remember reading that D cell batteries really aren't that great for bright LED lamps.

 

[SiberianDude]

What is wrong with yours?

The thread between the bottom cap and the body of the flashlight is part of the circuit--if the contact over the thread is bad, there's no light. I have to find the half tight position of the cap to light the flashlight.
In addition, the light is barely as bright as that of a tiny, one AA powered, flashlight, which costs half as much as this Rosewill.
:thumbsdown:

Not sure I am too late to reply. Is the deal open? I would love to grab few of them so can you give some discount if available. Thanks waiting for reply

Newegg deals are limited, they expired

 

[Zap]

Newegg deals also often come back. I always (if known) put the expiration date in my posts. For instance,

New code EMCNJNB86 exp.1/14 for same flashlight, same price $17.99 shipped.

Though I guess I forgot to put 2013, so someone might come around next January...

 

[Jiggz]

Actually this deal is back! Just make sure you have the discount code. And this time expires 5/22/2013.

I can't change the d@mn batteries!!!

Has anyone needed to replace the batteries. The bottom absolutely will not turn. I wrenched it. Do I need to try harder?

At the top, the lens housing comes off but the led assembly will not budge.

What did you guys do?

This is not a necro thread

I have this flashlight. I just went and unscrewed the bottom, and I was able to get to the batteries easily.
I think I'm still on the original set of batteries in this flashlight. It's a bright MFing flashlight...

good luck.. I'm not sure what would keep yours from unscrewing.
