> 3 dayI live in the country on a ranch and if there’s something outside that I want to look out for a distance away this is your flashlight. This is white law enforcement officers use.

> 3 dayAs a pest control professional, I find this flashlight to be the best. Most LEDs give good light, this one can light up the sky. I entered a pitch-black dark basement and this light lit up the entire room as if turning on a ceiling fluorescent light fixture, it literally lit up the whole space, its durable and I have mine for 10 years now.

> 3 dayWe bought six of these flashlights due to the reviews. Im one of six inspectors who use these every day on multiple jobs. They are great for the first six months, then the on/off button wont work, or it turns on and off randomly, or it wont shut off. We have five of the six flashlights, sitting in the office collecting dust. The sixth is laying in the back of my truck. Way too expensive for a 6 month life span. I do not recommend these flashlights.

23-11-2024The first time I tried this out, I was on the 8th floor of a building overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. The building was 100 yards from the water. The night was dark but there were a few small groups with flashlights walking the waters edge. In order not to startle the walkers, I illuminated an area well in front of them where their own lights were pointing. Whoa! The beam on the white sand looked like daylight! Others have commented on how the Streamlight produces a bright spot surrounded by even, peripheral coverage. The peripheral lighting was probably a factor of 300 lower in brightness than the main beam, but you could see the peripheral illumination easily against the white sand at 200 yards. I brought my wife out on the balcony to show her. She said, Its like a search-light. I couldnt put it better myself. She said it was unreal that something so small could put out so much light. The barrel is the size youd expect for C-cells or slightly smaller. A nifty feature is the way that you change intensity. You push down the button until it clicks and hold it; the light cycles through the three levels; you release at the level you want. Click it twice in quick succession, and you get the strobe. A single click in any mode turns it off. In other words, it contains a very simple microprocessor. If you just want quick on and off, you can press the button gently enough that it doesnt click -- it will go on stay on at full intensity until you release the button. Youll find that its immediately intuitive. You may have heard of using laser pointers for astronomy instruction. This beam is visible enough that you can use it in that way as well, although, of course, the beam is wider and diverges more than a laser. I was able to point out stars to my daughter using it. Its probably a good thing that these lights are expensive. Im not sure it would be a better world if everybody had one, since some would use them indiscriminately. I do a lot of walking after dark and typically carry a light, especially when skunks are in season. This will be the ultimate tool for that use: the combination of the central spot and peripheral coverage will be perfect. The build quality is excellent without being any heavier than a normal flashlight of the same size. The design is rugged and not prone to scratching or scuffing. It comes across as a no-compromise, superbly engineered product, properly priced for what it is. Tim

> 3 dayRegarding the old flashlight that I replaced: I sent that back to the factory in Eagleville, PA and for a nominal of about 13 dollars they replaced the old batteries for me assuring it will last for another 10 years. I placed the old light in my basement for usage since I often need a light in my work area there. The new Stinger is a incredibly powerful light when contrasted with the previous model stinger. When I took it outside in my yard area on the darkest night it had unbelievable power to cast a beam about 10X brighter and farther than the old model probably due to the new bulbs Streamlight is using in this model. I am very impressed with this light and sense I will be using it for many years to come. I really cant imagine Streamlight coming up with a better more powerful rechargeable flashlight in the next 10 years but they surely surprised me by creating this model.....
