Hate to say it Red, but you got Hosed. I just found this flashlight for $0.92. It may not have the candlepower of your Costco find, but it certainly carries more style.

Hi:

I have a mini flashlight I keep in my pocket. Great illumination for its size and has push button on end for one hand operation. It is model number 7831. I checked the site but couldn't find the one I have. However, there are similar models along with many others.

IMHO these are among the most useful lights on board:

Here is the LED light I purchased. At 230 lumens it is absolutely astonishing. It also allow you to adjust the brightness with a unique dimming system. Runs on 2 CRE123 batteries and last a lot longer than you would expect. Batteries can be bought in quantities of 10-12 for about $.90 ea.

I find myself using this thing all the time now. Maybe my failing eyes, but I use it when I need to do detail work.

It is technically a tactical light and will hurt your eyes (or your attackers eyes) if you get into a situation. This technology is used on handgun rails where the brightness alone is a deterrent.

Check it out: $45.00

In all seriousness (ignore my pig light above) - the same website has a 650 lumens flashlight for $39.00. I haven't ordered one, but am seriously considering it...
