Has anyone tried one of these two-led lights that fits on a 9-volt battery?

Pak-Lite LED Flashlight


When you're hiking, and weight is of the essence, you'll want the right flashlight. This small, durable flashlight is lightweight and powerful. Snap the two-LED unit on a 9-volt lithium battery, and you're ready to light up a trail or read in your tent (200 hours of light on high, and up to 1,200 hours on low). Fits easily in a pack or a pocket and, weather permitting, can be seen from a mile away. Maximum toughness calls for lithium battery (included), though alkaline works in a pinch. Patent-pending. C. Crane Exclusive. Made in the USA. Weight: 1.5 ozs. Size: 1" W x 2.4" L x 0.6" D.

Aragorn made these for about $4 each....

Wow! Not quite as pretty, but a heck of a lot cheaper!

I've been wondering about these Pak-Lites too - specifically, if you have to remove the battery to turn it off, or if the "hi-lo" switch incorporates an "on-off as well (too awkward if there's no switch, IMO). Neat idea, tho. (Kind of had the same idea once when taking my Palight apart - remove the body and have a light half the size!) Too bad the LED's aren't recessed or eyebrowed. Still, I might just have to get one!
