160 lumens

I found these at ******* today,*****for two.160 lumens at 100%,doesn't say what % on strobe.Looked like a good deal with the features they have & the power.Time will tell if they are any good/durable.I've been looking at the high end lights & couldn't pull the trigger on one, these have some of the same features.They are made for costco & have no warrenty on/in the package.Just Costco's return policy.


This is 50% & flood mode.I only tried the light inside my apt.around noon.The spot isn't much smaller than flood at the short distance I tried it in the apt.
They come with 3 bats. each & have the striking bezel on both ends

They are pretty bright,o ring sealed & have knurling around the body.
The throw is supposed to be 100mtrs.Can't wait to get em out in the woods and check them out further.

Just thought I'd let the other price conscious (cheap)dogs know about these.Not bad for ***** for 2

I have an earlier version of those. For 20 bucks they rock. I got mine 2 years ago. It was a 160 lumen and a second 120 lumen light. I keep one in the bedroom and one in a bag at work. I may have to snag another set sinc ehtey have them again.

Cool,good to know.I've got one on my nite stand allready.
Still going after 2 years huh?

Look like some great lights for the price. They look pretty bright, but I wonder if they are really 160 lumens. For the price, they look like a killer deal.

Looks like a decent light. For the most part I've started buying only rechargeable's because they off set their cost pretty quickly by not having to buy new batteries. I just picked up a Streamlight Strion LED a few months back and I'm loving it. If you can drop a little more cash I highly suggest the Strion LED. It's 160 lumens plus 3 different modes and strobe. Great light.

Yep I was surprised. They hold up pretty well. I don't use them alot but they work very well. I have 3 stream lights and a couple of surefires. These are bright. I think its as bright as my ultrstinger but it doesn't have the reach of the ultra.

rmc,how long does the strion last on a charge?I've been thinking about rechargables but am concerned about the degradation of the cells after multiple charges over time.I almost got the LD10 but got a TTreg instead.

Yeah BC,who knows what the lumens really are on something this cheap.But what the hell 20 bucks for two.they are plenty bright for my needs.I'm more worried about durability.

Thanks for the heads-up. I will get these tomorrow. What is the Costco item
number please, I want to call and make sure they have them in stock at my local store?
The Costco return policy is about as ironclad as you can find.

2 on high, 4 on medium, and 7.5 on low. The battery is good to go after many, many, many charges. Streamlight list the battery on the Strion as good for more than 500 charges and I believe it. I've had my UltraStinger for a few years now and I havent noticed any problems with the battery after a ton of charging. I dont think the Strion will be any different. I use my Strion or UltraStinger every day/night and wouldnt trade them for anything.

I'm actually looking at getting a Stinger HP LED to replace my UltraStinger because its an LED.

Sorry silverback,I allready threw out the package.And for the late reply.

Thanks rmc,I checked them out allready.I'm liking the St.HP LED too.I'll never buy a krypton bulb again.

Thanks for the reply MTK.
I will call Costco and describe the light using the info on the picture of the packing you posted.

BTW what's the problem with krypton bulbs? Thanx

They(bulbs) have to be replaced.Led's don't.

SB,When I opened the package I cut the side and top off & laid them aside.After I determined I liked the lights I chucked the package.Well I found the end I cut off,and the # is on it.ITM./ART.406343.Hope that helps.I couldn't find them on costco.com

I called Costco earlier today and asked using the info on the package in the picture they got em and I'm gonna get em. Thanx

Cool beans.Too good a deal to pass up IMO.
I'll get a highender after a few more knives.

Sam's has similar lights in the 2 pack and they are $28 +, so that is a good deal.

I have ordered a couple times from Deal Extreme, they have a large selection of led's plus much more. Order is direct from Hong Kong but I got my fist order in about 2 weeks. Just ordered a single AA that is supposed to be 220 lumen for 12.96. In addition to knives I'm starting to get a flashlight addiction.

Sorry I don't know how to do the links yet. DX also has free shipping

Picked up a set tonight. One worked the other didn't. I will get it replaced sometime later. Its different than the ones I bought a few years ago. Pretty darned bright and the strobe is interesting.

MB,sorry about that,but for the price I'm not suprised.At least Costco will replace it.

Not a big deal. When its factory made its bound to happen. For 20 bucks those are a steal. If they last like my other set I will be happy. I just grabbed a set to throw in my vehicles.

I was just going through my sister-in-law's March Costco Connection magazine and saw a quarter page add for these. It says Warehouse Only, so you wouldn't be able to find it online.

Thanks Seth.

Darn I'v been edited.Dang that new mod.JK Vic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Now I know.Thanks for the clarification. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Well I didn't leave it locked. Hey, I'm looking for some new flashlights myself.
You know how those new mods can be.....picky. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yeah new mod trying to make a name for himself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />Glad you took on the job. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

better the edit hammer than the ban hammer

Yup

Myke - I got them this weekend. They are really bright and throw pretty far, I tested it out my window and they will light the building across the avenue. The light itself seems sturdy enough, I would have liked to see a larger attachment point for a small biner or some 550 cord.

The 3A battery set-up is new to me. I've no other 3A lights and will test to see how long they last. I am turning the light on now and will leave it til the batteries expire.

Once again thanks for the info.

Cool,I'm too cheap to waste the bats. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
You might get a small split ring in the lanyard hole.

I will start over again. I forgot about the light. It was at the first power setting for at least 3 1/2 hours. Sometime after that the tail switch was flashing red. I eventually checked the light output and noticed that the light was much dimmer. I clicked the switch and the light went out and would not start again so I unscrewed the tail cap, screwed it back in and when I clicked it it it lit at the lower output. I will try again.

Thanks, I have to find a split ring.
