Just picked up a potentially cheap host at Princess Auto (Ottawa location). It's a blue 3xAA, 4 LED (blue) minim@g-style light. The switch is on the barrel like the larger m@gs. They were all blue colored (LED and light). The name on the package is POWER FIST. Each of the four blue LEDs were resistored on a small circuit board and the board has two pin leads that plug into the switch assembly. When I get time I will try to post some photos. Oh ya, the price: $5.55 ($Cdn).

They also have some LED trouble lights (60 LED). ~$45.

Their website is: www.princessauto.com
BTW, the light is on the last page of their sales flyer (page 48).
And no, I don't work there. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Cheers,

I dropped in there today to look at these $5.55 lights.
Too long and skinny for me. But they did have some
5 LED 2AA lights for $7.77 on sale. No AA's included
with these so the effective price difference is higher
than it looks. They are red anodized aluminum and the
body is a constant diameter. The LEDs are mounted just
below flush on the head with no covering lens.
