Must be something that AT thinks is a dirty word in the links. :roll: Or they just don't like Merit Line for some reason. They do have quite a low Reseller Rating, so you may be taking a risk ordering from them.
But I figure that's up to you. Just copy and paste the link then edit ****** (with the dots of course) where the stars are. I couldn't make a link to them work before either. Thanks to the above for links that work.

Here is the reason that Merit 1ine got starred out:

"Last year, they sent at least a half dozen mindless trolls to spam Hot Deals with links to their various domain names, including abcink.com, comptree.net, dealpluscoupon.com, meritline.com and meritstore.com. They did not respond to our request to stop, so our response was to ban and censor all of their domain names. If that is all the respect they have for our forum rules, we have no use for them. Mod"

Sounds good to me. It's up to you whether you want to patronize them.

So is the site trust worthy? It seems to go through yahoo but i would rather use paypal or google checkout.

IDK, I've never done biz with them. Just saw this offer on TechIMO and posted it here. Seemed like a good buy...

Probably about as bright but the light will most likly look blue. I don't have one of those but I have purchased a few LED lights in the past and most of them were not very good. The LED Shoppe is a good vendor with some interesting products. The link provided will bring you to a 1w LED flashlight that is BRIGHT! $10.00 They also have a 3w LED for $15.00 that kicks butt. I just ordered two more of them last week. They blow a 2AA mag light away.
They also have a great deal on Rechargeable Ni-MH AA/AAA Batteries, 5/$5.00 delivered.

BTW LED Shoppe is in Hong kong and it takes a while to receive your order.

The link above doesn't work but not a hard site to find. Been looking for a good LED light so picked up the 3w on your recommendation. On a side note, I love reading sites written in English by Asians :)

Now they are $9 each.

But also under Featured Items, you can buy 2 at $4 each for the total of $8.00 shipped. That's even cheaper than buying one. I guess they really want to get rid of these things fast.

w000t got mine today! Nice flashlight, bright as heck and really light-weight. "free" batteries are just non-alkaline heavy duty's but they should last a little while since it's LED.

Thanks OP!
