Free is about all they're worth as a real flashlight. I have some that look
identical to the picture, and the housing is thin enough to crush with just
hand power.

I'd be embarrased to give them to anyone I know.

The LEDs aren't even soldered to a circuit board in the one model, and both
versions just fold the (-) leads out alongside the reflector, then jamb the
LED assembly and clear lens into the housing.

A good deal for free LEDs to experiment with if they can be removed without
breaking the leads off, but a very poor example of "it looky like a
flashlight" Chinese goods.

I have 6 or 8 of those around the house. We sold thousands of them for
$3.99 when they came out 2 years ago. Could not get enough of them.
They use 3 AAA batteries. They work OK, but sometimes you have to rap
them on a hard surface to wake 'em up.

First, take the moral high ground - go to the store and ask, "I found this
on the internet. Is it valid?" I doubt if it'll be a problem, since the
purpose of coupons is to get people into the store, where they usually buy
other stuff. They probably got a containerload of the flashlights for
about fifteen cents apiece from China. ;-)

Cheers!

I took my coupon to my local store, but they didn't have any in stock. The
clerk was about to issue a rain check, when the manager said, "here, take
one of these," and handed me one from a basket near the door (they were for
a promotion of some sort or another).

Oh, and I ended up buying $15 worth of other stuff while I was in the store.

$15? That wasn't worth the trip! ;-)

Sounds like you did good. And they got back the value of the
light.

Excellent moral lesson. You're so right.

I'm nominating Rich for the Dr. Laura Award of the Week. Any
seconds?
