Heads up for Canucks - Costco 3 pack of 1 watt

[boet]

Hi folks,
I was in Costco Burnaby BC today. Picked up a pack with 3 x 1 watt LED lights for $16.99. Darn cheap. Haven't seen these at Costco before.
What's the catch? The beams are rather lousy. Two have some green tint - acceptable. The other has a nice white centre with a wide greeeeen ring around it - yuck.
For the price I will be keeping them. My son is going on two camping trips in the next couple of weeks. He can take two of the lights with him. At $5.67 each who minds if they get lost/buggered?
To see a picture of a somewhat similar light - go the thesource.ca and type in 6118952 (item #) n the search. Nearly identical.
The beam will not be for the purist, but maybe something for you modders/parents/campers.

Cheers
Boet

Thanks LEDninja.
Posted in that thread.

While I am here - any Canucks purchased these lights yet? Someone besides me must have been tempted by the price .
What do you think of them?

Cheers.
