Do they drain the batteries like the Cree ones do? I liked them and their brightness but them draining the battery when off kind of killed it for them.
I think you are referring to the first generation of the 3 AAA cree lights. They had a "low battery sensor" that would make the button glow red if the batteries were low - the power level check circuit did drain batteries over a week or two. They did away with that when they went from 150 lumen to 180 iirc.
Someone mentioned that the old Techlite ones look the same as the new duracell ones costco is selling - pretty much the same but they did away with the scalloped semi sharp edge around the lens and bumped it up to 250 lumen.
