I'm in for three. To bad these didn't show up earlier, they would have made great stocking stuffers.

Would it have killed them to build this to use a single AAA instead of four button cells? It couldn't have made them much larger. But I guess it might even be a better deal if you just need spare batteries for something else. Although I'm not sure what 48 LR41 batteries would cost normally and I'm too lazy to look.

Edit: Also, the "Simple twist on/off" is rather comical when paired with "Instructions are included in each box". Humanity is doomed if we can't operate these things.

@riocobra: A stack of button cells generate enough voltage to drive a bare white LED. Just wire the voltage to the inputs of the LED and off you go.

Designing an LED flashlight to run on a single 1.5 cell (AAA, AA, C, D) requires circuitry to generate enough voltage to light up a white LED.

It is easier to meet this price point using the button cells. They're cheap as hell and you only need basic wire to power up the LED.

I was just about to jump on these when I found reviews from QVC. A TON of people were disappointed with them: http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.V29466.desc.SKIL-7-Piece-LED-Flashlight-Set-with-Carabiner-Clips?

I would have gotten 2 sets but since we can't return them, the risk is too high for me.

Darn it. I can't remove my up-vote. Just pretend that there's one less up there.

@wsmiddel: I would gladly pay more for the circuitry if it means three less points of failure and the added convenience of a AAA battery when it finally runs out of juice. But I do get what you are saying. I have very simple key chain lights that use a single cr2016 and I love them because they are fairly unnoticeable on my key ring. Plus they are cheap enough that I can just toss 'em when the battery dies. I should think of a project for the LED's, though.

@nastyducky: Now I'm tempted. I've got to use the coupon on a t-shirt or these, and looking at the qvc reviews, five star to one star reviews are 47-19-11-11-37. Batteries are 10 cents a piece, if you buy 100 for $10

so I'll sleep on this one.

@fleamarketadict: Thanks. That only works if you do it within woot's 5 minute time limit though. Usually, that's enough but if you don't make it, the vote is there forever.

I bought a set back in December and they arrived recently. The couple I tried seem decent enough, though I have not opened them all. the metal casing makes them feel a bit more sturdy.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
