You would think it's the norm for something like a flashlight not to drain the battery when it's in the off position.
Anyways, they look nice but I think I have way too many flashlights from a previous Lowe's clearance deal. I'm a sucker for flashlights though, might take a look at them if I happen to go by Costco before the 15th.

I never ended up calling up Duracell but now that I just remembered I might do that. I have in a drawer that I have to leave the end cap unscrewed a bit so it doesn't drain the battery. Depends if it's a hassle or not to get a replacement cap since I have lots of flashlights at the moment.
Can't return mine to Costco since I had 1 of the 3 flashlights stolen from my car a while back (shortly after purchase) and I think Costco requires the complete set returned.

The old bulbs did just watch out for battery leakage
Here's my take on them:
- They feel good in the hand.
- There is a high pitched whine when on, and when it's in strobe mode the whine constantly starts/stops with each strobe.
- I wish they used AA cells instead for longer run times
- They're bright. High has both LEDs on, medium the thrower and low only the inspection light type beam.
- There is a hint of blue in the inspection light type beam. The others are snowy white.
- It can be a bit difficult screwing on the tail cap - you have to line it up right.
Not bad lights for $5 each to throw in the glove box or keep in desk drawers, garage, etc. You could definitely do worse.https://slickdeals.net/f/9300895-costco-com-has-on-clearance-duracell-3-pack-led-flashlight-350-lume...
