Great Flashlight January 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought my Stinger 15 years ago. I've only had to replace the battery three times (They're rated for a bout a year, but I got much more out of mine). The light is very bright and very reliable. I've had this on my belt during pouring rain and a few times it's been totally submerged in the water. It never quit working. I'm afraid after 15 years, it's on it's last leg. It won't hold a charge anymore. It's time for a replacement. I heard that they now make this same light with both an end and side switch. Hope I can find one.

I wanted a flashlight that 1)I would always know where it was located, 2) was always charged and the batteries weren't dead, 3) was well made and reliable, and 4) for a first line of defense, it had to be very bright (Blinding). I came across the Streamlight Stinger and the reviews suggested it had the features I wanted, except the price initially seemed high. The wall mounted charger would keep it in a specific spot as long as I put it back after use and would also keep the batteries in top shape. It is also well made. Because my wife is often home alone at night, my desire was to have a blinding light in the event someone wanted to come in uninvited. I'd read that some flashlights were capable of putting out such a brilliant beam, but had not seen one. After charging it the first time, I stood in the dark and asked my wife to shine it in my face. It was like looking at the sun or a arc welder - I really couldn't see anything other than a very bright light. Fortunately I've not had to use it for that purpose and hope it never is used for defense but I've found it to be quite helpful for the more mundane tasks such as locating the cat late at night as well as any of the other "normal" circumstances that happen. So, it met my criteria and and after mounting it on the wall next to our bed, I've been very pleased with the flashlight and highly recommend it. The price doesn't seem so high now that I've used it and have had a chance to closely examine the quality of the light.
I haven't used the car charger, but I expect that it works as advertised. Because of it's brightness, it would be very helpful for setting up camp after the sun has gone down along a fishing river.
I did buy an extra bulb when I bought the flashlight, but so far the original bulb has worked perfectly. It would make a great gift.

This is the 2nd stinger we have bought. My husband uses them for work and he loved the first one so much when he hired his new employee he bought him one too. Very bright and the rechargeable battery lasts forever. Great product!
 Great, but don't drop it October 4, 2007

Slipped out of my hand about 6 inches from concrete and it died. Bought a $18 replacement bulb (with shipping) and that lasted a split second as I watched it short out. PO'ed.

I supervise homicide detectives and often have to respond to crime scenes in the middle of the night. Because I do not wear a uniform, large flashlights are cumbersome and impossible to carry. The Streamlight goes from the vehcle charger to my pocket and is ready when I need it.
The best feature is the powerful beam. I have had absolutely no trouble finding evidence (or people hiding). It works in cold and hot and appears to be quite durable.
I have not owned it long enough to judge the battery life - but replacements can be ordered making it more functional.
If you need a very bright light that is portable and durable you can't go wrong with Streamlight!
