I bought a 3 pack, and after having a "I can see the light-gasm" at home, went back the next day and bought 3 more for a total of 12 flashlights.

Stunning bright at 200 honest lumens (and I'm a scuba diver who KILLS for bright lights underwater in the murky depths) For dive lights I have 600 lumen and 850 lumen that were $200 each.

For 3 of these Costco Flashlites for $20, I put one in every car/trailer/truck-camper hung one by every door in the house and out in the barn.

You simply can't beat this as a $7 each flashlite that runs on common AAA batteries. I double dog dare you to stare into in on high setting, and yes it'll light up the top of a 120 foot doug fir tree stunningly well..........can't make more of an endorsement from a light hungry scuba diver than this.......pretty cool they have a strobe feature on them too that I used to scare the crap out of kids on Halloween night.

They're Not on the Costco Website, bought mine about 3 weeks ago and have given half of mine away to Mom and Friends as a "here you really need one of these" gifts...


Sorry for the long soapbox rave about them, but yes they're that good. I'd go back and buy another 3-4 packages of them for more stocking stuffer / gifts, but I already bought out their last 3!

Heck it even comes with 9 duracell batteries, those would be ~$7-8 on thier own.


Found 'em on the web for double Costco's Price: Buy.com - Techlite Lumen Master 200 Lumens High-Intensity CREE XPG L.E.D. Tactical Flashlight, 3 Pack


Pic of the package, have your local Costco check the SKU.







I bought a two pack of lights at SAMs that look identical to those. I've rattled mine around in vehicle, back packs, etc and it still works great and yes they are super bright....


Fwiw, Cree is one of the top tier LED manufacturers. Only better is nichia. We use Cree LEDs on some of our budget displays, they last nicely.
