The charger for this flashlight is lost and I need to replace it. where can I purchase one?
This flashlight is sold by Home Depot, and it is possible that you might be able to find a name-brand exact replacement charger there. However, you almost certainly can find a replacement charger elsewhere for less money.
Looking at a picture of the light and its power adapter, it appears that the light has a standard barrel charging port. A dollar store or "Dollar Plus" store is likely to sell inexpensive multi-voltage universal chargers that will fit this light and get you back in business for under $5.
When fitting a non-OEM charger to your light, make sure that you've set proper polarity and input voltage for your device, or else you may damage it in charging. Many devices specify voltage and polarity right on the device, molded into the case or on a small sticker. That makes this process super-easy. Otherwise, you may have to head down to a Home Depot and peek at one of these lights in its box to read the voltage output off the stock charger. The odds are pretty good that it'll be putting out 12 volts, but I won't guarantee that by any means--input may be 6v or even 4.5 volts, though those are much less common in lights of this type.
Good luck!
Input from included charger in 9v 300mA. Takes a while but works fine.

SOURCE: How is a flashlight both luminous and nonluminous at the same time?
At first light it DOES sound a bit confusing.
First, the definition of the term 'NON-LUMINOUS'; 'Not capable of PRODUCING light but can be capable of REFLECTING light from another source'.
For instance, our MOON is NON-LUMINOUS as it REFLECTS light from the Sun. The SUN is LUMINOUS as it produces light that is REFLECTED off the surface of the moon. And so, LUMINOUS means capable of PRODUCING light.
Now closely examine your flashlight.
The BATTERIES produce electrical energy which is transferred to the BULB which emits light, thus LUMINOUS. The tiny little BULB emits quite a lot of light for its small size. However, the bulb is contained within a concave silvered cone which REFLECTS,(NON-LUMINOUS) gathers and channels the emitted light from the BULB (LUMINOUS) into a BEAM which ILLUMINATES whatever you are pointing the flashlight at.
Our cameras would be just paperweights if there were no NON-LUMINOUS surfaces for the light to REFLECT off of, back into the camera lens, onto the 'plate' thus etching the image. For example, take a photograph in the dark without the flash and what do you get. No LUMINOUS, no NON-LUMINOUS.
And so there we have LUMINOUS and NON-LUMINOUS, ILLUMINATING our lives. Enjoy! :)
SOURCE: Need adapter for Vector 1 Million sport spotlight Model VEC156
if its the one im thinking of, i had the same problem.
if you look at the back and theres the male prongs to plug into the wall
well what i did was i took off the back
then i took off the cradle that held the battery in place, and stood it up on the lens and simply plugged it into the wall to charge it.
its kind of complicated but simple way to save some dough in todays market.

Only place I've found is the DeWalt site:

SOURCE: replacement battery for a Vector # VEC137R flashlight
You can order it from Black and Decker, Vector sold all their product lines to them in 2006 and they carry the replacement battery cheaper than anywhere else I found.

Tommy, the only apparent source for those special bulbs is from www.cyclopssolutions.com. I did not see replacement bulbs listed on their website. You can either call them at 877-269-8490
or send them an Email at: [email protected]
