Costco tactical flashlight set

[MrCLRider]

So we just recently received our Costco coupons and I noticed they had a mfgr instant rebate on some LED flashlights that I have been wanting. I went and picked them up today. I took some pictures for you with my BB 9700, I am sorry that they are not any better.



Package they came in

Out of package, it only measures 4 7/8" tall and the lens is 1 1/16" in Dia.

For my first tactical light I think I did good for what I paid. It is not a Fenix but will do ok for now. So if you have a Costco near by I would go check these out, wouldn`t hurt to have another LED in your collection.



Later,

I have no Costco, and this find makes me sad that I don`t.

I saw these on another forum. Someone said like $20? And for 2 with batteries that sounds like a good deal.

[LICamaro85]

What did you pay for these? I am a flashlight addict. I have so many that I do not even bother looking at a flashlight unless it is over 125 lumens.



If these are really 20 bucks that is a steal. Do they say what they are rated for as far as battery length goes. Usually when you get around that lumen level the AAA only last for around 1-5 hours depending on high/low settings.



So if you could please say how much they were and if it says how long the battery will last that would be great.



Thanks,

I checked the ad and it`s a no coupon necessary deal, good till April 3. They`re $5 off and it says the final price is $14.99, no limit!



Now PLEASE save some for me!!

[MrCLRider]

I am glad I could help you all out, it really is a nice deal.

[LICamaro85]

WOW 15 bucks for two flashlights are a good deal than you throw in the specs and lumens of these and it is an unreal deal, to good to be true.



I looked on the costco website and could not find anything, I even looked it up by the item number listed above and nothing....

[MrCLRider]

Sorry you could not find them.

B&M only - It was listed in last pages of the coupon booklet that they send out but you don`t need the coupon for the savings.

[Leadfootluke]

Just picked up a set of these last weekend. For the price, they rock!

They were available in the warehouse only so you couldn`t get them online. They have a new set that throws 360 lumens with 3 CREE LED`s and 3 C batteries. Law Enforcement Grade it says. Everyone seems to like them and for 40 bucks each in a set of two they are priced right. Sorry I couldn`t get the picture to copy but here`s the specs from the Costco site:
