> 3 dayStreamlight flashlights never disappoint with their feel, quality and beams. The only complaint is the “belt clip”. The attachment feels odd and almost like an afterthought. It is bulky and makes the light feel like a cheaper product. I opt to remove the clip and just put it in my pocket instead. Small and compact but powerful.

> 3 dayMy department issued me a stinger, but the holster they use had that tall light poking my ribs when sitting down in the car. The strion is just the right size and has better light than the stinger does. It does have a shorter battery life though. The other downside is that it cannot be used with the cone for directing traffic. for that I just keep the cone on the stinger and the whole thing in my car door pocket if I need to direct traffic. This is a small but powerful flashlight. I chose this model over the HL model because you get a better focused beam for distance while still getting some area illumination. If you use your stinger as a collapsed baton for pressure points and holds though you may want to skip this.

> 3 dayI have purchased this flashlight multiple times now. I have lost one, and broke another. I am a marine engineer so I do all my work on ships. It is frequently exposed to salt water, submerssion, being dropped, and plenty of use. Even with all that it holds up real well and is very bright. I reccomend the belt holster for it also if you get it, and a spare battery if you use it as frequently as I do, and dont have the luxtury to wait for it to charge.

> 3 dayFrom what I am told, this is the flashlight that a lot of law enforcement officers use so what could be a better recommendation than that?! Their life could actually depend on a reliable flashlight and you will understand why they chose this flashlight over any other. It is built like a tank, has a brilliant light that is almost too strong, and great battery life. I threw away all of my other flash lights and purchased two more of these. They are crazy expensive but I think they are worth every penny.

> 3 dayThis flashlight is definitely how it is explained but I received my flashlight and the charger cord doesnt work like the wire is shorted on the inside. They wanted me to return the whole flashlight which I dont have time for due to my schooling. I just need to return the cord and have them send me a new one which they havent responded to for a few days now.

> 3 dayI use a flashlight everyday. The only reason I purchased this flashlight is because it is rechargeable, having to buy batteries every two weeks became expensive. Only thing I didnt like is it doesnt come with a holder, that is really my fault though for not reading description. Light is very bright and the 3 different levels are very convenient when trying to see something close. I love that it came with two chargers, one for a 120 outlet and other for a vehicle outlet. You just put on charge at night when you put phone on charge and if you forget and need a charge you have charger in vehicle. I have dropped light several times from chest height and off 6 ladder with no damage. Only thing to watch for is if light starts to not want to turn off or on or not changing settings its probably just needing a charge. I have not yet used enough in a work day to run battery dead. Perfect size and weight only thing missing besides holder is beam isnt adjustable, not really an issue for me.

Greater than one weekI work nights as a paramedic and this flashlight is extremely handy. Not too large so it never gets in the way. Extremely helpful to look for addresses on homes in the middle of the night (which is saying something because Im in an ambulance shining it all the way to the front door to look for numbers). It also works great for hard sticks because it doesnt get hot on the patients skin but shines really bright so you can see tiny veins. It goes months on one charge as well which is pretty amazing. Ive had my current one for about 3 years after I lost my first one that Id had for 2 years. Extremely important to buy a holster that fits it well as I lost my first one when Id switched holsters and it fell out on an autoped. Definitely worth the investment!

> 3 dayVery bright light for such a small size. Battery lasts a long time in between charges.

> 3 dayThis is my second one. The first one fell off my motorcycle and was run over by a car. It continued working for about a two years and then the switch started to be unreliable. Decided better to buy another flashlight instead of replacing the switch. Very happy, works great.
