I have 7 different Streamlights. I love all of them.
thumbs up +1
Thanks for sharing.
can this light work with a 3.7 rechargeable battery?
when it say programmable all it b is referring to is the strobe light , right?? how do you widen and zoom? ? I have one, that was issued from my job. But no packaging or instructions .
Awesome light! However, for the cost of this class of light, I wonder why we STILL do not have a built-in means of checking the battery strength, battery time remaining, etc. I only ask because all of these lights with computer controlled output that flattens the output curve can be just fine one minute, and totally dark the next because the batteries are finally drained to the point of exhaustion. This means that it's too easy to be caught out in the wild with a dead light.
Just bought one on Amazon. Great review bud! Now I know how to use it
were you using 600 lumen mode outside?
Sorry to tell you but most cops don't carry Maglights anymore. Most carry Streamlight, Fenix or even Surefire if not other brands. There is no need to carry such a big Maglight when all of these are 3 times smaller and 3 times brighter.
A must have!! Check out Botach, got mine for $65, free shipping!
you can get em even cheaper on ebay if you're careful of who you buy from
the blinking feature might just cause seizures hahaha
Only 1.5 hours of constant light?? Thats a no go for me.
thanks for the review. i've been having 200 lumen streamlight for a few years and like it alot. i have a few surefires and would probably choose one of those in an shtf if i could only have one because of there reputation for toughness.
Nice review
How many lumens and what is the run time for the batteries?
Maglights are the best. USA made . Reason why cops use them . Most expensive but for one about that size 26-30 $ for about 140 lumens which is more then u need

He shops like mad!
you can buy those batteries – in rechargeable versions
I got one with a bright lite like that and I love it. I used it when we went to the Huron National Forrest this summer. Mine has a yellow, green and a red lenses for night vision. Cool lite.
Sometimes you do get what you pay for. Congrats on the purchase.
