Streamlight 75813 Stinger DS C4 LED Flashlight with AC/DC Steady Charger, Black - 425 Lumens

Nothing but good with this flashlight and even at work I’ve never had the thing die on me.

Actually this is my second purchase. A gift for my son. Got lithium ion batteries. The old nicad batteries lasted for 6 years. which is not bad.

I have been using this light for ~ 2 months and I feel confident in saying that it is the finest flashlight I have ever owned. The craftsmanship (fit and finish) are top notch and this is one bright flashlight. All of my MagLites and other LEDs havent been turned on at all since I received this light. My father has a standard Stinger (Xenon) and upon seeing this light in action he immediately wanted one! The beam from this light is brighter and more crisp than the yellow Xenon beam of the standard model. It is impressive indoors, but really shines when outside at night. I am a big fan of the two switches and the 3 different brightness settings (not counting strobe). I also like the fact that you can operate the light without fully depressing the switch, great for quickly turning the light on/off without cycling the switch. Add in the fact that it is rechargeable and it gets even better. No more buying lithium 123 batteries in bulk for me. The only con I can think of is the fact that when the battery is low you will not have much warning that you are about to lose power. The first time I fully discharged the light I thought that I had broken it since it was working fine when I last turned it on, but when I went to use it again it was bright for 3-4 seconds and immediately dimmed and went out and would not turn back on until charged. But this seems to be common with a lot of high performance flashlights (my non-LED surefire did the same thing). If your job/life depends on having the light working all the time (e.g. law enforcement) I would put it on the charger anytime it isnt in use just to be sure it is fully charged.

This light is very dependable. I can always rely on it when I need it. We own 3 of them!

Bought for my hubby for Christmas and he thinks it’s amazing! We took it on our camping trip and the distance you could see with this flashlight is unbelievable!

Streamlight is perfect if you need to be able to look to the other side of the crawlspace or attic when performing an inspection. I have two now and feel that these are way better than some of the Tactical flashlights that talk about being 1000 lumens+. Those are for broad illumination, not direct stream. I would highly recommend this flashlight to anyone who is a Professional Home/Building Inspector - one of the best tools in my toolbox!!

I recently started working for ford as an apprentice Technician and this has quickly become my daily driver flashlight. I use this thing in all applications from under the car to in the cab under dash. I love the durability of this flashlight, when it says nearly indestructible i have used this flashlight as a hammer for various applications. I love this flashlight and always have it on me, be it at work or just out and about at night and dont feel so safe with my surroundings. I was a little caught off guard when I found out this is the weaker lumen version of the streamlight stinger series but i am happy with the 350 lumen as compared to the 650 where you constantly have to lower the brightness for comfort in small areas. Completely satisfied with my purchase and have been using this flashlight since the first day i received it in the mail.

I wanted something that really put forth bright light on objects way in the distance. I was not disappointed with this product. This is my fourth one. I have two (one for downstairs, and the other by my bed.) The other two were gifts after I tried this product and fell in love. Yup, with a flashlight. Because when you view objects with 425 lumens, you will never go back to anything else. It also has some other neat features, but I love it for the lumens.

This is an amazing tool. Very robust, reliable and strong. I love the features and benefits for this light - the three beam intensity settings, and the strobe. This thing is super durable and will take some bad abuse. I work in security, third shift and use this light virtually every night. I have had this light for almost a year and it still works very well. Ive beaten on doors with it*, dropped it many many times, its gotten wet, been exposed to extreme temperatures and weather conditions and, at times Ive used it daily for over a week at a time without charging it and, still it shines and operates reliably. Its got some scars on it... but functions flawlessly. I highly recommend getting a flashlight with a strobe. The strobe feature has two important functions: disorienting and temporarily blinding a hostile threat. And second, it is excellent for flagging down first responders. This light is very bright, and I am pleased with how far it will shine with an excellent balance between center, and peripheral illumination. My only complaint would be that I would like it to be even brighter to enable me to shine brighter through window tint that is 15% and lower. I can still shine through 5% tint, but I have to be up close and even then it only dimly illuminates a small spot inside. Id like more tint- piercing brightness. However it does do well on tint that is above 20%. So if youre looking for an all around great flashlight, something that you can buy and rely on with confidence, a light that will last for years and years then the Stream Light Stinger DS LED c4 is for you. *( I stopped beating on doors with it after a few days cause I believed it could be detrimental to the battery - I dont know that it had any detrimental effect on the flashlight in any way- but Its not something Id recommend or something that I want to continue doing.)

I bought this for my son for his birthday who became a police officer recently. His girlfriend noticed it on his amazon list so we bought it and he was so happy!! I found out our other son already uses this flashlight on the job ( he is a deputy also) and he did tell him just to charge it after he gets off duty and it will be strong his whole next shift! He did say he didn’t use the car mount charger as it’s always on him at work , Everyone was impressed with thus light even out if the box with no charging yet we could see to the tops of the tall trees perfectly at night!
