Bought a package of three TechLite’s at Costco. One works normal but the other two go dead after about 3 to 5 days even if the light is never turned on. Tried several batteries with the same result. I do not know if it is the low battery circuit or what but the lights are junk.

I purchased a 3 pack of these flashlights last summer from Costco and have had absolutely no problems with them. They no longer have the battery light in the push button and the lens is no longer adjustable. Use all three a lot and the original batteries are still in them working fine.

I have two of the units. The switch does not work on either. All I can get is a flashing red light. I will try a switch replacement as suggested above.

For all these outdated reveiws….I have the three pack witch I purchased at Costco Ive had them for months, I use one dialy the other two are on standby with batteries intact they all work as should. Note: these do not have the low power indicator switch… they have a plain black three position unit with momentary feature I would say this was the solution to the battery drain problem…Battery life is good and produces a nice bright beam..As the issue of battery holder The holder in my lites has givin me no problems and seems robust enough to me..All in All these are great lites for the money I belive this lite has been revised due to switch and is very reliable…Great little lite.

I purchased a three pack from Costco about two months ago. I have absolutly no problems with them. They do not have the low battery indacator just a black rubber button. They have the same batteries in them that I put in them. Kirkland alkalines.I use them a lot and the battery pack still reads 4.35 volts. Fresh batteries read 4.6 volts plus. The wife uses hers every night. The other one is in our bed room. All working fine. I’m glad I did not buy the early ones. I also just found out about how to use the button to turn them off without going through th three steps. Thank you who ever posted that info.

Here is a link with a guy that found a fix for the battery drain issue. To be honest I have not notticed it on mine that have the black switch (not the white/clear) but apparently the ones with black also have the issue But all of mine have been fine for over a year.

Here is the link for the “fix” but like above I would recommend taking the white switch ones back and buying black ones if you got it from Costco.

Just an FYI guys…. Costco Return Policy lets you take them back even without a recite you just need to take all of them back you cant just take one. There is no limitation on how many days you can take them back even 5 years after the date of purchace no problem (I used to work for Costco) If yours stopped working take it back and buy the new 3 pack set which I like much better for the same price. They are slightly different but very similar.
