Costco tactical flashlight set

So we just recently received our Costco coupons and I noticed they had a mfgr instant rebate on some LED flashlights that I have been wanting. I went and picked them up today. I took some pictures for you with my BB 9700, I am sorry that they are not any better.

Package they came in


Out of package, it only measures 4 7/8" tall and the lens is 1 1/16" in Dia.








Here is a half ass comparison to my maglite 2AA 3W LED that I currently have

This is the Maglite


This is the Techlite


Both at 2' from the wall


For my first tactical light I think I did good for what I paid. It is not a Fenix but will do ok for now. So if you have a Costco near by I would go check these out, wouldn't hurt to have another LED in your collection.

Later,
Fergy

Yes you are correct, it is used for seeing/spotting defects in paint.

Your guess is as good as mine..

the tactical part of this flashlight is i think the size and the duty of the metal and i think the back part can be used to protect yourself maybe

How many lumens is the surefire? What other differences is there between the two to justify the much higher price?
