@PocketBrain So, uh, Luke… When you were just a little tyke, your Mom and I went on the Jerry Springer Show, because she said… well, never mind that. Uh, well, we had met in a bar and that was our first time drinking Cyrullian brandy and things just got uh, a little hazy. But I didn’t think anything had actually happened, I just remember waking up face down in the airlock with this splitting headache and most of my clothes floating somewhere in space. I don’t usually roll like that and thought that maybe she had just confused me with some other bloke in shiny black space armor. Well they did a DNA test on galactic TV and uh, this is kind of awkward… especially since you might be the only one in the known universe that doesn’t know… Turns out you really gotta watch out for that Cyrullian stuff! So now you know where to send all those Fathers Day cards.
Uh, glad we had this talk!
@CANNONFODDER@ConcealedPsycho@mythereal@stolicat same… didn’t see option to buy more than one. Completed order and tried to order again… no go… i wish they would list if there was a limit of how many you can buy or not.
@stolicat -I think that if those Mountain Lions are scared by these 60 lumens flashsticks then they’re likely kitty cats who think they’re mountain lions which they often do. They say, “We were born this way, and umm,…meow!” Cats are just natural a-holes. Why? Well, they say,… you guessed it,…
I’m a high school Physics teacher, and we are studying the properties of light when we get back from Spring Break. Maybe these will be good for some demonstrations.
@elpepe True. Contact CS and see if they’ll help you out. But I’m sitting here with a box of 24 Duracell AA batteries that I paid $4.18 for so I won’t bother.
@elpepe@sammydog01 Yep, no AA battery included. Looking at the tail end that screws in, it’s really easy to cross thread the thing.
And it doesn’t work with my Eneloop batteries. Peering inside the flashlight, it doesn’t have a contact that pushes against the +ve button, but rather a spring that expects to push against the metal around the “button”. For my Eneloops, everything except the button is insulated, so they don’t work in the flashlight.
Most of my alkalines have bare metal around the button, so work.
Not impressed. Even at $3 a shot. I guess they’ll be “emergency” flashlights, because I refuse to use non-rechargeable batteries in my active use flashlights.
@sammydog01 wow, $4.18 for 24 duracell is really good. I need batteries (am currently out) and every time I pass them at walmart or costco it’s always at least 50 cents per battery.
These things are actually nicer than I thought. I ran a ribbon through the loops at the top so I can be that weirdo walking at night glowing. And I can use the flashlight to locate my dog’s poop instead of feeling around for it with my hand. Ick.
So FYI the positive end (nipple end) goes down which is a little unusual since the flat negative end usually goes on the spring. I didn’t notice the graphic inside the body until I assembled one incorrectly which made the battery warm right up

@Fuzzalini @mediocrebot that’s better. Thank you.
A Jedi dagger? Cool.
Why only one order?
Luke, I’m like, your dad or something?

For external use only. Unless you are a jack-o-lantern
@hafner The light at the end of the tunnel…
@hafner Paige, no!
Hmmm. I’m totally going to use these in lightsaber battles. Think I stand a chance?
@savvysapphire Size matters not.
Only can buy one set?
@mythereal just make two separate orders
@ConcealedPsycho @mythereal but then you would need to pay the $5 shipping twice. I think it’s a trick to get more mehmbership …
@ConcealedPsycho @mythereal @stolicat I tried that – it said I already bought one…
@CANNONFODDER @ConcealedPsycho @mythereal @stolicat same… didn’t see option to buy more than one. Completed order and tried to order again… no go… i wish they would list if there was a limit of how many you can buy or not.
@CANNONFODDER @ConcealedPsycho @jcdunn @mythereal @stolicat if there isn’t an option to “add another” that means there’s a limit of one. You would have to have another account and another address to order more than one set.
@CANNONFODDER @ConcealedPsycho @jcdunn @mythereal @RiotDemon @stolicat Or you could just purchase another house, change your name, get a new credit c and buy another set. That’s what I did.
@CANNONFODDER @ConcealedPsycho @EVRYEDGE @jcdunn @mythereal @RiotDemon @stolicat Or you can just buy it on morning save.
4 pack for $12… it actually works out to be cheaper for VMP members.
A lightscabbard! I always take the green.
@hchavers You’ll take green, and red, and blue, and like it.
So which is it? Is an “aa” battery the Meh variety of “AA”?

We like to go walking at dusk and into the night, these will help scare away the mountain lions …

anyone else get these and the “included” batteries are not included!?
@elpepe Me. And I would wager everyone else. Fortunately it’s just three AA batteries missing.
@sammydog01
Right, but at $3 per flashlight, the AA batteries represent a significant portion of the value.
I wouldn’t have purchased at $9 with no batteries included.
@elpepe True. Contact CS and see if they’ll help you out. But I’m sitting here with a box of 24 Duracell AA batteries that I paid $4.18 for so I won’t bother.

@bbf @elpepe You two should have a mini-light saber fight. It would cheer you up.
@sammydog01 wow, $4.18 for 24 duracell is really good. I need batteries (am currently out) and every time I pass them at walmart or costco it’s always at least 50 cents per battery.
@elpepe 48 pack of Insignia alkalines from Best Buy for $7.99. Cheaper if you sign up for their replenishment program (but not really worth it).
