Rayovac Sportsman 3 in 1 source?

NIB

I think he said he would have to order a ton so it did`nt look viable.


Wally Mart in Wareham has about 9 left at just under $13.00
Plus a new Energizer light for $14 and change that has more lights than the Ray O....looks nice

Nice first post..

Way to make a guy feel welcome NIB. Maybe you missed Karl F and John E's posting of links, because you neglected to tear them new ones.

If one of the mods or Pete_G wants me to pull the link I'll gladly do so. Didn't mean to step on any toes.

OK, I have to buy around 100 of them and while I can match or maybe beat Wal-Mart's price, ($12.99 would be the price I could sell them at) beating some of those others isn't worth the effort. If there's interest I'll grab a batch of them.

Rayovac still has them in stock and didn't sound like they have any plans to do away with them, so they should continue to be available.

NIB is 100% right on this one. In my haste to help out, I didn't read through all the posts. My apologies to Pete G and the guys at SWE. In the dealings I've had with them, they have always treated me with the upmost coutesy and a high level of customer service. If I had read Pete's post, I would of waited to post the link.

Home depot and lowes has them in my area.

the lights are nice but don't seem to last more than a season or two.

I have a Petzl Spilunker(?sp cave divers) headlamp that is now about 10 years old and its absolutely waterproof. It does not have the 3 light sources (normal , halogen and red) like the Rayovac but the batteries last a whole season with the normal bulb that it has .

Anyway , if you got the $70 , get the Petxl , if money is tight , the rayovacs are very nice.

I removed my link. I didn't realize Pete_G was a site sponsor at the time I posted and I apologize to him for that. I haven't done business with SWE yet, but I'm sure they are all you say they are.

Wally World in North Dartmouth and Fall River had several on their pegs as of noon 10/25.Bought two .Nice lite,thanks people.

#^&#^&#^&#^&s B&T has them here. I have to say that for the money this headlamp is better then $35+ lamps I have tried. It does not look as nice but it has a red led, a white led and a regular beam. Still not a perfect lamp but closer to ideal then most and seems to hold up better then the expensive "waterproof" lamps. The regular beam eats up the batteries quick but the leds are good.

My perfect headlamp would be:
I would like to see a true waterproof lamp
All LED's
1 red broadbeam
1 white broadbeam
1 powerful focused white LED beam
emergency LED flasher red/white rapid blinker
small batteries in the light not in a beltpack.
The switch should be a easy single handed button and should have seprate buttons for each mode not some combo of pushing one button until you get the right mode. Cost: < 50 bucks with a no questions asked return policy...it breaks you get another one.

That would be my assessment as well of the Rayovac.

To those who posted other links; don't worry about it, it's not a big deal.

The order has been placed, Rayovacs are inbound. I'll get them on the web as soon as they arrive.

you should check out the inova 24/7 sounds like that is exactly what you want pete has them.

[pmueller]

That light is certainly a great deal for the buck. I've had a couple of them the last few years. Usually last a season or so. Wally world usually takes its da-n sweeet time reordering product, they may show up soon or look in another store.

Well, chit, if you'd give it a night off for cripes sake........ Ten bucks says if there are still fish around, you don't report back to work on Nov1. Your reports are killing me, since I see them after coming in after work..... You better be writing an article or something... Endless Summer '06, the upside of a laid off striper junkie!

Yeah I better find me one of these headlamps before I follow ChrisL again!

Ya I don't think I will be working 11/1, no need to work a week then tell him I need a week off to go to Block Island, How do you think that would go over. I don't think my hands can take it.

Pete - I'll take one when they come in. Let me know.
