Last week I picked up a 3 LED, 3 AA cell flashlight from a clearance bin in a local hardware store. These were marked down to $5 from $15. It seems quite well made with O-ring seals and all. It is made in China and is labeled "Tactical Gear". Interestingly the colour balance of the light is quite decent. It may be using the so-called warm white LEDs. Colour_Balance.jpg shows two cropped and joined photos. One is taken by the light of the camera flash, the other using only the flashlight. My digicam is not capable of getting a good exposure under low light so I had to increase the gamma by 1.40 but I did nothing else. The card is pretty pure white.
