I just bought this 6 pack of Husky LED flashlights at HD. There's 6
LED's per flashlight, and each one uses 3 AAA batteries, which were
included. 6 flashlights and 18 batteries for $9.97. How could I pass
it up?

I've never used an LED flashlight before and I am amazed at how bright
these things are.

My question: Am I going to remain happy or is there something I don't
know - something like I'm going to get about 10 minutes of battery
life so I'm gonna need to carry all 6 flashlights with me.

Are these things any good?

The aluminum sounds good to me for that price, I use dollar-store
batteries (I've gotten 24 for a dollar at times) that hold up only
slightly worse than alkalines, so zinc/carbon batteries powering LED's
should be fine.

Unrelated... As for LED's we had a snowstorm here Monday as I commuted
to work. As I came to the LED-based stop-and-go lights all of them
were invisible and caked with snow, wherease the older incandescent
stop-and-go lights were clear of snow. Somebody needs to put heaters
in those new LED-based stop-and-go lights, they are pretty dangerous
in a driving ice or snowstorm, LED's cant melt snow very good I
guess. You would think the traffic companies would know this ****.
