[ACC] BRAUN 1000 LUMEN $49.99
Posted by jay_kay25@reddit | gundeals | View on Reddit | 71 comments
Reminder to check your local Harbor Freight for the 1000 lumen light. Just left my store and they had about 20 of them on the shelf. They might’ve upped their production of them and did a nationwide stock.

About 4 months ago, HF had a 40% off for Braun lights. If it happened once, it could happen again. Just saying.
mcslippinz@reddit
They had a 15% off coupon just this weekend.. grabbed 2 during that time
dadlif3@reddit
sure but 15% of $50 is $7.50
mcslippinz@reddit
Yup. Saved $15 bucks
King_Spitfire@reddit
Damn that would've been a good idea I should've thought of that
Dumpster_Diver@reddit
Im waiting to buy 2 of these ~~weights~~ lights when it happens again
Randymaple92@reddit
I have one, it is in fact a light.
TheHomersapien@reddit
Those of us that have reached higher levels of enlightenment are aware that 99% of what these lights do is provide holster retention and muzzle weight. Near as I can figure, my two Braun's do this in exactly the same way that my multiple TLR-1s do.
Fauked@reddit
Didn't you hear? If you run anything but surefire your light will blow up and kill you at any moment while holstered.
Temporary_Ad_5947@reddit
So OLight with the OSigjt on a Sig P320, perfect
0regonPatriot@reddit
Fuck, I own all the above.... Brb
DovhPasty@reddit
Sounds like something out of the CZ subreddit if you replace the 320 with an s2c
Achy-Grump@reddit
I think that will cause a rip in the fabric of space and time.
Temporary_Ad_5947@reddit
Can it be worse than the universe we are in now?
Achy-Grump@reddit
Good point.
PrettyTiredAndSleepy@reddit
love my surefire alibabababa ebat clones for 30 bucks
RonaldWRailgun@reddit
Well, the surefire looks cool so there is also that. But 3 of my SF needed to be RMA'd over the years, so I stopped drinking the Kool aid that they are more bombproof than other brands out there.
jay_kay25@reddit (OP)
Lol. Yeah I’m usually a streamlight guy myself but I bought 2 just for shits and giggles
Randymaple92@reddit
They seem to have the same size specs to have retention in the same holsters as my streamlight, so that’s cool
Old_MI_Runner@reddit
One comparison review of the two lights on YouTube indicated the size is a little different between the two and holsters may not be compatible with the Harbor freight light. One detail that I recall is the mount size is different.
xangkory@reddit
Works fine in my Safarilands
LesPaul556@reddit
6000 series Safarilands would retain a small child if you attatched them to your pistol slide
alanwakeisahack@reddit
One is fine in an older safariland, unusable tight in a new one.
killacarnitas1209@reddit
Yup, the HF light is a little bit bigger. They fit in my Safariland holsters—but its a very tight fit and that after loosening the retention
pvsmith2@reddit
I have a s&w m&p holster by trex, with the streamlight it's perfect, with the Braun, I needed to adjust the retention screws. Works fine though
Randymaple92@reddit
What this guy said, I had to fine tune my retention screw, but it’s been fine.
dadlif3@reddit
So where's the deal?
thehighsman0503@reddit
Richardson tx has like 25 on the shelf. 🤯
xSinister1x@reddit
Just picked one up today! Got it secured on my G19x MOS 👌🏽
glocksockpop@reddit
Does it fit into everything with a tlr1 holster
fly19@reddit
Picked one up to replace my Holosun PID, does the job just fine. Hard to beat at this price, and my local HF had plenty.
coryhoss1@reddit
I was interested in one of those holosuns. Is the Braun a better buy?
fly19@reddit
The PID is a solid flashlight, but it's harder to find a holster for it. That's the main reason for me, though I also prefer the Braun/Streamlight controls.
coryhoss1@reddit
Makes sense thanks for the info
guwopdaddy@reddit
My harbor freight has said back in stock soon on the website for two weeks now
wrkaccount@reddit
i had to order one online when they were on there... never have seen one at my local store sadly..
Pew_Jackman@reddit
What holster would I need to run one of these on a P320 and a G17? Probably no luck with an Icarus or P80 frame.
second_ary@reddit
i like mine. keys don't fit a tlr-1 since the corners are less rounded and are like a square fitting into a rounded square, but tlr-1 keys work in the braun.
my real tlr-1 is the old 350 lumen one so this is at least brighter and fits my omnivore
ItsJustAnotherVoice@reddit
Good to know it fits the omnivore thanks!
RelaxoVi@reddit
There was at least 10 left at the Harbor Freight in Ypsilanti, MI for any other locals. Grabbed 2 last night.
IndependenceCold5611@reddit
Must have been a recent shipment. Every time I checked that store the last few months they've been oos.
Mapleleafs791@reddit
Just snagged 1. 12 still there guess they added more
Mapleleafs791@reddit
Just snagged 1. 12 still there guess they added more
killyourmusic@reddit
I have one of these. It's bright as hell.
garr3ttwashere@reddit
My store had not had them for months and had 30+ today randomly.
thebrwnchiro@reddit
Never seen these in stock in any store I’ve gone to. Bad luck or some bastard is buying them all at once. If you see them in stock, leave a few for the rest of us please
04flspecvq@reddit
At my local store, it said in stock online, but the shelves were empty. Asked an employee and they pulled a box and refilled.
mcslippinz@reddit
ask for the manager - they should be able to add a few to the next order sheet for you.. at least mine they will.
04flspecvq@reddit
Here in chula vista, CA, they had them in stock. Decided to buy 2 of them.
MSB3000@reddit
You guys are the reason my HF is constantly sold out.
j526w@reddit
These won’t earn you nearly as many tacticool internet points as a surefire will. Just sayin🤷🏽♂️
Coffee____Addict@reddit
I saw a bunch in stock at my local store but my rule is to only buy things on sale at harbor freight. Some lucky people were able to get these 40% off during the Braun light sale this year. This light for $30 is the real deal.
Proper_War4054@reddit
Wtf is wrong with harbor freight? I didn't even get to see the listing cos there was three pop ups immediately and after the third i just backed out.
Who designed this garbage?
arethius@reddit
"shareholders"
Rebelgecko@reddit
Eric needs a new yacht
Sky19234@reddit
I logged in earlier because I was looking at something entirely unrelated to this and it prompted their system to email me like 40 times....
Harbor Freight is well known for many good things, their IT department is not one of them.
g19000@reddit
Needs moar coupon
GassyGlock@reddit
I grabbed one for funsies and took a couple garage shots next to my other WMLs and Handhelds. Want to note that the way it performs in a dark garage isn’t the whole story and isn’t indicative of performance — candela, performance with ambient lighting, photonic barriers, etc are all very important.
So far it seems… fine? Didn’t expect it to come with batteries, so that’s cool. It feels the same quality Streamlight feels. I don’t like the Streamlight UI, but it’s still fun to compare. I haven’t gotten a chance to take it into the woods at night and get a true comparison yet but those garage shots look alright. At this point, I’d rather have this HF light over an Olight.

InitialLanky7182@reddit
Says 59.99 for me. How are you getting that price?
Nice_Category@reddit
Some areas have higher prices. Sadly, I am also in one.
Maybe try a VPN and set your location to somewhere else to see if it's cheaper?
duke_flewk@reddit
Bought one, wobbled like a peg legged drunk, returned and got a Holosun PID from Simmons for $80, much better IMO. I wanted to like the Braun but once I realized I could push the light and it would turn itself off self off and that 3x switch cycles makes it stuck on strobe I was disappointed, but it is harbor freight not harbor great.
Triple-Flush@reddit
If you check yer local HF and don’t see them on the pegs, ask an associate. These are being stolen from the trucks and the stores. A LOT of stores are keeping them on the back.
osirhc@reddit
dammit my 25% off coupon just expired
BeastfrmthaEast@reddit
Waiting for my bum ass store to restock smh
J_Tyleski66@reddit
Throw some ranger wraps on them and nobody would ever know…
Gafspls@reddit
They were running a 15% off anything sale when I picked one up on Sunday and the shelf was fully stocked at my store, meanwhile the handheld I also wanted to buy was OOS
LiberalLamps@reddit
The one I bought clamps to a rail but the light body still has some minor play in it. Not a major issue and it is otherwise a pretty good tlr 1 clone.
-Not-ATF-@reddit
This is one of the deals ever made.
jhead04@reddit
Can you convert these to use a pressure pad switch?
