cool cheap flashlights

Ordered these on Amazon Prime. $10 for five. free delivery, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013QO1DMU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No affiliation, but liked them so much I ordered 3 packs of five for the house, Big-ass RV, cars and my camping friends.

Cool not so cheap light

Hugh, button batteries? Only six hours burn time? No thanks. I keep these "pak lite" lights scattered about the house, also in every rig, even carry one in my pool cue case. I've given them to various people. They often end up buying more...

I have several hundred of those with our company imprint on them. I think I paid about $2.50 each including the engraving.

I have a ton of the free ones from Harbor Freight. Some have a magnet on the back, with either 3 or 25 LEDs, others have 9 LEDs and similar dimensions to the ones you have shown. Both use 3 AAA batteries.

Nice, but $19.99 each, plus shipping. Mine are for the key chain for the RV and such to find the door lock. $2.00 each, delivered. I have plenty of high intensity flashlights that use other batteries. You can't hardly buy those button batteries for $2.00, let alone the flashlight itself.

I liked them to put in my suitcase, I was in a Hotel once and the power went out, the emergency lights in the hotel stairwell crapped out and I had a single AAA mag-light that had no power compared to these. I travel 2x/month on average.

I have a refun xml-t6 that I use quite a bit, but I don't remember having to charge the battery yet, and have had it nearly a year.
