The Stinger LED:
The old familiar size, grip, weight...
I really like this light.
Simple on/off side switch...with a Strion interface. (Or maybe the Strion has a Stinger UI...I dunno, which came first the chicken or the egg thing)
Press on and off and you get high beam. Press and hold to cycle med/low and back, just like the Strion LED. Two quick clicks gets you the same strobe that has the kids bumping into walls when you strobe 'em as they leave the room...
The old familiar beam;
Now I used to be used to big ole square lanterns, magnetized fridge mounts C size lights and big ole cop lights.
Then I accumulated a bunch of 5-7" weapons/tac lights to coincide with mini mags and several differing work lights....
Yet when I pulled the Stinger out of the box and carried it around a bit, it was quickly adapted to. Streamlight built this thing to imo an ideal sized every night carry light.
It was if it had been my favorite light for the last 20 years based on being familiar in size and stature.
Side switch push button on a bicycle grip sized body.
Under side, over hand, under arm while writing...
And it tail stands very well as well as becomes quite the table lamp with the face cap removed...but you'd better have a lamp shade handy...
Then after dark I shined it here n there and thought the exact same thing about the beam. It was easy to see why the Stinger is still so popular.
The 350 lumen output with the shape of the reflector puts out what my minds eye called 'the perfect small town cop beam.' And the 75713 kit, with 2 chargers and cords for cars and wall...
Don't know what the wife paid for it. But I'm very stoked to finally own one of these very fine flashlights.
I like the single action 350 output, or adjustable to 175 or 85...
Others may prefer other outputs and interfaces, or even the dual switch version.
But like I said above, every house should have one.
Later I added the rubberized anti roll face cap covering for a scratch free end due to standing it face down. Also added a 99¢ lanyard to one of the 2 pre-drilled holes in the tail cap.
