post your streamlights

Just added one to the collection from early LED days.
The 3x 4a stylus in American flag flavor

Twisty interface ⊙▁⊙


An old font


Says "Stylus", but my phone don't dig on macro.

Yeah, it's about as bright as an incan mag solitaire, but not sure if that's because it's unregulated and the cells that expired in 013 are depleted or...
I'll know when I get new cells. The 'newest' ones say 10 lumens of "ice blue" lol... never heard the blumen emitter called ice blue, but yeah it's pretty blue.
Supposedly it was an auto mechanics light according to Streamlight.

Anyway it's a true inkpen sized light that'll reside in my coffee cup of penlights for the most part.

Penlights going back to the 1930's

Edit:
Won a nip incan keymate at the big auction site.
Pix when it arrives.

It arrived:

Plastic is very brittle unfortunately


The rear of the packaging is nice n flexible


Missing hunks were in the shipping container.
The battery was pre-born on date.


Streamlight hippy logo.
Slice the night? I do not miss the 80's and 90's.

I once called Streamlight to enquire if this one uses a triple A or 4A. The answer was "we never made an incan Keymate"...

Here's 3 Barstow Ca made ones
Streamlight bought Kel-Lite and briefly used their Barstow factory to make what were called 3rd gen Kel-Lites and SL20's.
Shown is a 5D and 2D clicky model that were a combination of a Kel-Lite and a Streamlight. Focus beam like Maglites too. The well worn SL20 was also made in California.

Very cool. Pre-name spell change.

Any idea of the year?
It seems that at some point they changed the spelling and I was curious when that was.

Early, early Streamlite was in NJ. Then in Pa about 72/73 and still spelled Streamlite. But I thought by the SL20 they had changed it to the current spelling.

It looks as if it may have been called "Streamlite 20" at first.

Streamlite 20 appears to be the model but the box return address indicates Streamlight in PA.
A brochure in the box shows a 1980 copyright date and a 1981 print date.
The manual refers to the light as an SL-20 though...

Super-duper. Thanks for clearing that up.
