Actually, they may have a point. I think there are varieties of rechargeable batteries (Nickel Metal Hydrides) which actually perform better for high current applications than regular alkaline batteries. I was surprised to find this out myself.
They're actually right. After an initial drop, NiMH batteries maintain a fairly constant voltage output over their discharge cycle as compared to alkaline. So they're good for powering things like LEDs.

I have as retarded and irrational a hatred of hippies as everyone else here who's watched a lot of South Park but I have to say that I would enjoy seeing someone mess around with one of these while I was on acid
however seeing as they freely admit it is just six cheaper lights glued together i guess i am going to pass
