I looked in 2 Home Depots and couldn't find those Brinkman packs. I did buy a 6 pack of LED flashlights for $10 + tax. The pack has 3 each of 2 styles. The 1AA lights have a single LED and are pretty dim. Might be good for finding the bathroom in a power failure but they don't throw much. The 3AAA lights are bigger and brighter. Still not tactical lights by any stretch of the imagination but not bad as general purpose home flashlights instead of the old school 2D flashlights.
Ah, too bad. I had a feeling this was a limited time sale...so I bought two packs for myself. One will be stocking stuffers or birthday gifts, the other I opened and have put one in each car, a couple different places in the house. As you say, they are not a replacement for my Surefire, but they are great for general utility use.

Cheap LED Flashlights at Home Depot.

I have a Surefire that is my all-round do everything light -- self-defense, firefighting, medical calls, look under the hood, feed the horse in the dark... but a friend emailed me about a special Home Depot.

They are selling a pack of 10 Brinkman 6-LED flashlights, including batteries, for $9.98 (plus tax). They have a push button on/off in the tail, a little lanyard, and have synthetic bodies in red, gray, or black (each package has a mix). They are about the size of a Surefire G-2.

They are no competition for my LED G-2, but for a buck a shot, if they last a couple weeks I am going to be happy. I bought two packs -- some I will stash some around the house and car in various dark corners and save some wear and tear on my G-2, the others will save for stocking stuffers and nephews' birthdays. Nothing like giving the little guys a really bright light and watching them annoy their parents for the rest of the day. Fun for the whole family! :reddevil

Thought some folks here might be interested.
