I was over at Harbor Freight and bought a flash light that has 27 large leds for $6 and some of these companies are selling replacement led lights for $2 or $3 each because they can.
Are you saying that the replacement lamp array for your flashlight is $2-$3? I'm not quite understanding the meaning of your post, sorry.
I use the Asian LED panels with SMD's. Cost was around $2-$3 per unit in different sizes, colors, and lumen rating. My battery voltage floats at 13.6 V and rises to 14.5 V, in absorption cycle. I haven't lost a single panel, to date.
