> 3 day5 stars if you get a new one. You recieve: 1 piggy back charger, 2 cords both go to the charger. One goes to the wall outlet the other to the cigarette lighter in your car. 2 batteries. 1 rubber cap for spare battery transport. Whats a piggy back charger? A charger you can charge your flashlight with the battery in it, and charge the spare battery at the same time which is located in a different slot on said charger. Where does the rubber cap go when spare battery is not in transport? On top of the unit which is indented to hold the cap. Hope this helps. P.S. i didnt get paid for this review however I did recieve what appeared to be a used flashlight and sent it back opting to get the most expensive package for this flashlight.

> 3 dayThe 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 dayThis product is AMAZING! No doubt that Streamlight is the best brand when it comes to equipment for duty. I have a TLR-1HR on my Glock 19 MOS and now this, WOAH! What an amazing flashlight.

Greater than one weekIts a lightweight flashlight but heavy duty. Battery life is about 30 mins shorter than what it says but as long as you have an extra battery your golden. Brightest flashlight Ive owned. (And I have owned about 16)

> 3 dayVery bright flashlight. Solid construction. I had to get used to the rubber sleeve on the handle. I had the old ultra stinger so I was used to a total aluminum body. Made it a little more difficult to put in and out of my flashlight leather holster. My only concern is I don’t think they sell replacement LED bulbs for this flashlight.

> 3 dayI love this flashlight. It puts my Ultra Stinger to shame - that after swearing by it for years of use. Im a home inspector and I like to be able to see all the way to the other end of the attic or crawlspace. The Ultra Stinger does that pretty well and I thought it couldnt get any better until I started using this Led type. Not only can I see to the other end, but it lights up the entire space with a bright, clear, white light. Absolutely fantastic! My Ultra Stinger is now my backup. The one I got was the 75761 Stinger LED HPL model not the HP which this review is tied to . The HPL model is 740 lumens per Streamlights website.

> 3 dayBrighter than the regular led stinger. Shines farther tighter beam. Battery doesnt last long so I keep it on the charger when not using it. Always ready to go. Durable from whatever height other than the lens. Direct hit can put a crack in it but I haven’t had one shatter. Overall a powerful light I have 8 of them keep them in every truck, house, shop, etc on mounted Chargers. worth the money. Don’t get a cheapo
