Let there be light! Flashlight.

In for 3!

this will light up dark places

Re-run, this time only one flashlight. Last time: 2-Pack 3-Watt Cree LED Aluminum Flashlights for $15 = $20 shipped.

For those interested, the smaller, more 'focused' sister of this big flashlight, can be found just a mere click away from here. I've got both and due to the recent tornados here in Tampa, I've found great use out of them! The Cree series never seems to fail for the price.

I bought 2 of these last time. They work good for their price. They are not low quality, but are not the best. Have had no problems with the button yet and they throw a nice beam using 2 D batteries.

Worth the price if you buy more than 1 to combat shipping. I am tempted to purchase more, but don't really need more.

I personally cannot get enough flash lights, in for three.

Tactical 6 x 3 watt Cree LED 1500 Lumen flashlight

LED flashlights rock. Super bright and long lasting. It makes more sence to get a windup one though.

In for three! Or as they say in California, tres...

Really? D-Cells?
I know D-Cells last a long time, but it'll cost near $5.00 just for the batteries.

This is a great light. I now have eight. One in every car, and placed through out the house. The larger batteries last for hours, the beam is a non-adjustable spot that illuminates to at least 100 yards, with a good secondary wash. This light is big, but feels good in the hand. I have several expensive tactical lights that are rated at 250+ lumens, and this holds up well against them. I'm in for three more.

I just wait for the sun to come up.

There was a previous woot: 3-Watt Cree LED Aluminum Flashlight - 2 Pack for $14.99 + $5 Shipping. This is a better deal; you can get 3 for $14.97 + $5 shipping. It's like getting a flashlight for FREE!

How well does this thing hold up to stress conditions?

For example if I were to take one with me camping, hiking, and amateur spelunking (which I would), if I dropped it, would it crack like an egg or be good for the wear and tare?

Checked out Amazon.com for comparable flashlight prices. This price with shipping is 1/2 of the Amazon.com price. Naturally, I picked up two so that I may illuminate the world.

Even buzzed, I can't get a jones on for this particular Woot deal. Not sure why.

You can find much better bargains on D cells if you know where to shop. Try discount outlets that buy overstock like Ollies or Christmas tree shops. I get Kodak 2 pack D batteries for about $1.70 and they are as good as Rayovacs.

Plus D cells have a lot of maH to them!

I know something else that throws a nice beam using double D's...

I'm sorry, I just HAD to say this. Please Woot! Don't block my account, in fact, I feel that comment should almost be 'Quality Post' worthy

I use this flashlight daily in my job as a military aircraft maintainer, and absolutely love it. Cheap and gets the job done. Mine has been heavily abused and still going strong. For the price, I highly recommend it.

This is the funkiest write-up I've seen in a while!

If no one has guessed yet, I work as a Veteran's Advocate and always keep a flashlight in my vehicles. Last time around woot had a two pack of these, of which I bought 3 sets as everyone was asking if I could get them one.
.
I am in for 3 more tonight, and if I could, I would buy a dozen.

Thanks woot for something that is useful in so many ways. (really has a good weight to it!)

I've dropped one of mine several times, hunting, fishing, hiking, etc... No problems.

Thank the heavens for you! The math almost scared me away...!

I said it before, but take the lenses cap off and this makes a nice spot light.

Makes a great tool for shadow puppets!

Oh and this is the only light that seems to charge my solar powered watch.

IN FOR 3!!1!

Already have 2, so these will be Christmas gifts. Gotta shop early, forget black Friday.

I'm a guy; therefore, must buy flashlight

Here's a comparison chart to help understand lumens of popular bulb types.

And here's some useful information about light output versus lumens; they aren't the same thing.

Finally, want to see just how much better in energy efficiency LED lights are? (And aren't?)

let's obscure the math further;;;;;added to the
bongsolo considerations, confusion should reign...

on 4-1, they offered these for 6.99/each;

on 4-5 they offered these for 5.99/each;

I will let you guys figure out how to account the shipping,
but I think it may be time to be in for 3....

Bought 4 of these when Woot listed them, and I liked them so much I bought 2 more the next time they came up (during the Woot Off I think). They have a brighter light than my 4 D-cell MagLite, but the MagLite is probably still better for cracking skulls. All in all, can't go wrong at this price.

Utah and Colorado are battling it out for brightest state (11:23 p.m. MDT)

great flashlight I own two so good I am in for 3

The write up goes to the tune of:

'Handlebars' by the Flobots i do believe

I can ride my bike with no handlebars, no handle bars....

Go to the 99 cent store and save four bucks.

If you don't want to spring for D cells, you could use some AA to D adapters. There are other types which take 2 AA batteries in a D shell.

You can use alkalines or rechargeables in the shells.

Oh... Aluminum FLASHlight. For a minute there I thought they were selling something else.

I'm so lonely...

Surprised it doesn't say how many LEDs it contains. Isn't this an obvious question that would be in the description?

I didn't see it, unless it's buried in that crappy poem.
