There was a dealer with streamlight and surefire last 1500. They were located in the back left/middle of the building.

I have seen the fenix flashlight sold before as well.

Just be sure you know what you are looking for and be aware of the going price. There is a large flashlight retailer there that sells Streamlight, Surefire, etc. but his prices even though he says are "sale" prices are still above what you may be able to find the same light for on line or from another dealer,

Also beware of the guy selling repackaged lights from Sam's Club/Costco as the latest, best, brightest, tacticoolest, every police officer uses them lights.

I'd be happy to talk lights with you. I will warn you that if you don't want Chinese lights, you are stuck with Surefire, mag, pelican or Elzetta. Stream light and innova only assemble their lights here.

The fact that they are made in china doesnt bother me, im just referencing the cheapo $10 led's.

If you are looking for just a really good EDC light, you may want to hold off for a couple weeks. There are some really sweet things coming out soon.

The Chinese are very enlightened.

Don't know the name. He usually sets up on a corner table in one of the middle aisles. He likes to shine his lights off of a reflective target up in the rafters. If he sounds like a QVC pitch man than you know you have found him. The brand he used to pitch that I bought from Sam's club is Element. They are a decent cheap light for normal use but the switches don't always work so I wouldn't trust my life to them. They were also about half of the price this guy was selling them for. When I asked him about them he first said that all of the seconds went to Sam's club. Element must have a real problem then because they had them by the skid load.

He later changed his story and said that the model he sold was the "special police issue made much better" Really what's different about yours? better lights and stuff. He then goes on to the next sucker...
