Pros & Cons

Pros

Streamlight does that to insure better sealing of the light. I'm kind of a flashlight nerd and had to order this one when it was on sale.

The beam isn't a flood or super focused so it lights up a nice sized area and at a considerable distance. The claimed 400+ yards range is a joke but it puts out a powerful light to 100 yds and a still very useable light out to 150-200 yds.

The rechargeable cells are far nicer than disposable 123 cells. The charge time is reasonable and convenient, even more so if you have the rack-style charger. Comes with 2 micro usb rechargeable upgraded batteries and dual usb charger to charge both a... Read More

Cons

The button is not made to be fast pressed. This was possibly a seller issue. Streamlights are definitely over rated…. Do not buy.

Streamlight flashlight seems to have a major design flaw. It's a great flashlight, but someone uses it until the rechargeable batteries fail & will no longer charge, and then they sell it to you with the failed batteries.

Quality

Lost one so i got 3 more outstanding product well made and durable

Very well built and extremely, extremely bright.

Streamlight has always made great products, but this was an xmas gift from my wife due to my strion being stolen.

Batteries have an led to indicate charging and charged.

Price

I bought this on a great christmas deal and would do it again.

I bought this as a black friday deal so it was definitely worth the amount paid.

If you missed out of the black friday sale to get this light for $68 then so sorry for you.

20 acres with no lights outside the moon.

Shipping

Original order came without the charging cord and amazon would not just send me a cord.

So, i had to return it and amazon sent me a whole new light with the cord and lanyard.

Packaging/appearance

Had an issue because the box was missing the charging cable.

Competitiveness

Compared to the protac hl-x that i have had for a year or two and like very much, this provides a brighter and much wider beam.

In the video, both flashlights are fully charged, the protac is balanced on the trash can and this one is flicking off and on f... Read More

I have lights ranging from $15 dollar no-name brand lights to surefire lights.

I have other flashlights from surefire, o-light, thrunite, fenix etc which i like and which have some comparable features to th... Read More
