I have a Strion I have had for many years now. I lost the charger when I moved it from one vehicle to my garage and then cleaned my garage. Not sure what happened to it. So I needed a replacement charger. This is a OEM factory replacement charger from Streamlight. Came in Streamlight bags even. Fits and works perfectly! If you need a replacement for your Strion or just want a second one to place somewhere, then this is the right one. You can buy the Plugin cord or car charging cord separately. It does not come with a cord, you have to get one of those also (but I knew that and was OK with that).
Great fit bright light and nice red dot.
My goal is to be able to scan the woods from my porch, about 450 feet away to the large tree trunk in the images. I got these three lights to test, seeing as they all advertise they can ‘reach’ many yards out. Streamlight ProTac HL 5-X ,3500 Lumens Smith & Wesson M&P Delta Force MS 3xCR123 1115 Lumens Fenix TK22UE Ultimate Edition 1600 Lumen The Streamlight is my favorite. It is also the largest and heaviest. This light really shows the greatest area to scan for monsters. Its great. I like that the on button is located in the middle, not on the bottom. So its easier to flip on and off quickly with my thumb. The batteries come out to charge. It gets a little warm around the top light part. The rubber feeling grip is nice. I have not used up the batteries yet so can not comment on their lifetime. The M&P is the second largest. It is a decent weight but not too heavy. I did notice the barrel gets slightly warm as I was using the light. This one has the ‘low, flash, high” memory buttons. At first I was like uggg (bad word) I don’t want to have to rotate through all the modes to get to high, I want it to be on high all the time. With the ‘memory mode’ it HAS been staying on high every time I turn it back on. The ability to light up the woods seems to be pretty good. This one has a slightly narrower beam then the other two. My only concern with this one would be the battery life, I am always going to be using this on high so that is only 105 minutes. If I have to get new cr123 batteries, these seem to be about $2 each on streamlightoutlet.com so $6. So depending on how often I need to replace these that can get expensive. As a pro tho I would be able to instantly replace the batteries and don’t have to wait for recharging. The Fenix TK22UE is the smallest flashlight. This is a good choice for a “pocket-able” light. I can fit this light in the side pocket of my pants pretty easily. Its also not too heavy. This is brighter then needed for ‘average’ use. Its overly bright for needing to pick up dog poop but you should surely find it. It can light up the woods pretty well. The beam is not as narrow as the MP. I have not used up the battery so can’t comment on longevity. It does use type C cable which I would need to buy a backup of.
Mounted this on my FNX45 Tactical this afternoon. It took about 20 minutes to get it mounted, operational, and zero'd in. I couldn't be happier! The light and laser are both very bright. It seems to be a very robust design and since it's mounted on my home defense firearm I assure you I think it's very reliable. I highly recommend it.
The lens is clear and the poly ring mount is tight fitting and seems to ignore heat. No light leakage and lets my headlamp do it’s job flawlessly. Using on the Streamlight ProTac HL 61307. Very happy with my purchase.
Item came blatantly used (see pic) and missing the hex wrench needed to even use the light. I'll update my review whenever the replacement gets here.
Currently trying to source a new screw. The light works and should fulfill my needs, but it was clearly returned originally because someone rounded out the head of one of the Allen screws. I was able to remove it but it cannot be made to work, and these are very odd fasteners to source. I will try reaching out to the seller for a resolution. Overall feeling bummed
It’s a professional automotive mechanic, I use my stream light constantly. After less than a year this battery is shot. Barely lights up the flashlight. I bough it for a replacement when the factory one started to dim after 3 years. Although it it slightly weaker, the original is still working better than the new one. Tried it in another mechanics light. Same issue. Very disappointing.
The light and laser are sufficiently bright and the operation of the light is seamless. The various modes allow you to use it as a light, laser, or laser and light combo. I find it a tad difficult to use the light in momentary mode by holding the button, but tapping for it to stay on works well. Install was fairly straightforward and it fits my Springfield Armory XDM Elite v2 9mm perfectly. It is attached very sturdily and the small form factor of this light has little impact on the weight of the firearm. The form factor is small enough that even with a simple Bianchi Leather Strip Style Holster, the pistol fits comfortably and is still easily concealable. My biggest concern when buying a light for my pistol was small form factor. This light makes it seem like it is practically built-in. It reminds me of the built in lighting system on a Taser X26. I like that about it.
I looked around and went to a few gun shows shopping for a tactical light to mount on my AR. I wanted to spend under $300.00 for one. My requirements were that it would fit on a 1 inch offset picatinny mount and that it would be reliable not to break under the stress. I also wanted it to look good too. I ordered this light after researching it on forums and reading the reviews on streamlightoutlet.com. The one I got came with a belt clip which I thought would be a concern when mounting on the picatinny rail. It is not! It fit perfectly over the offset flashlight mount without having to remove the belt clip. The light is extremely bright and is easy to turn on and off without having to remove my hand from the grip of the gun; I can do it with just my thumb. Also, the light has 3 different functions; high, strobe and low. Caution! Do NOT stare into this light as it may cause temporary blindness!! The light seems to be holding up well under use and for the price that I paid for this it, I couldn't be more pleased. It exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it.
It is very GOOD . We have LOVED it and We used it as NEEDED when we have TRAVELED ....Thanks so MUCH...
Purchased this flashlight to replace a flashlight from another manufacturer that was a EDC for almost 20 years. I have been carrying this flashlight as a EDC for 45 days now. I decided on this version mainly because I have in the past heard good things about Streamlight. I always liked the flashlights that used the Cr123 batteries. Balance of size and how long it batteries lasted. In my view worth the extra battery cost. This flashlight is alot lighter than the EDC I had even thought it has the same amount of batteries and is around 3/4 inches longer. At times when you pick up the flashlight it gives a feeling that it is cheap. I think for me the reason for this feeling is that the metal body of the flashlight is thin so it feels room temp. The button is less than desirable. I have noticed when unscrewing the battery cap. It feels crunchy. Almost like the threads will give out after a few times of battery changes. In closer inspection you can see that the main body there are very few threads which probably contribute to this feeling. Also have notice on turning on the flashlight on button click the light will not turn on. Bumping the button it will turn on. Not a great feeling when you need a light. I will reach out to Streamlight to see about getting it replaced. But currently have not been able to reproduce it on demand to be confident it will get replaced. On a positive note in the short 45 days the coating on the flashlight has held up. And the lense shows no signs of scratches. I have to keep in mind the Inova T1 flashlight I carried all these past years was 20 years old. And that manufacturing practices have changed probably the reason it was discontinued. I will continue to use this flashlight as a EDC atleast until I find something different.
The photo in the listing is not the clip you receive. The photo is the old style, and since I was mounting this on an older light, the holes did not line up. However, I marked and drilled two new holes, and the clip mounted well. The new style clip is superior to the old style, but be warned, if you have an old light, you will need to do some drilling. The old holes still show, but you can put the old screws back in so it doesn't look dumb.
This flashlight blows my mind. It's very bright, shines very far and hasn't died yet despite being in my possession. I tend to be hard on my items. Here's my take on the flashlight after owning it for about 2 months. Battery - I charged the battery about 2 months ago. Now I haven't used it much but its not dead either. I've probably used 35 minutes total over the past month. The charge time didn't bother me and I honestly doubt ill ever need to use the 2nd battery. Brightness - Its more than I need. I snapped a pic of me at a baseball field nearby in the daytime. The next pic shows me in about the same spot at night time. Then in the final picture you can see that office trailer way out there. I'd say its at least 100 yards away. Currently there's a ton of California smoke in the air so this pic doesn't do it justice. I can honestly see that trailer clear as day. Features - At first I didn't think the double button thing was a big deal, but now its really grown on me. I like having that car charger despite not having used it yet. Its simple to change the brightness setting. Just hold the button down and stop at any of the 3 brightness levels. Do a quick double click and you get the strobe effect. Durability - I have no use for a flashlight in my profession so all use is during camping or goofing off at night. Usually flashlights help prevent tripping in the dark. That's not the case on camping trips after 10 beers. It helps, but it's no guarantee. This happened once on concrete and once on some dirt hill I climbed and came tumbling down. It's still alive and well and looks better than my skin did. I've also dropped it on the ground while getting out of my car, a few times it tipped off the table, and once it fell behind my bed onto hard floor. What's not to like - Now this part is subjective, but I think its a bit big. Maybe thats by design since I don't think I'm the usual target customer, but I can't really fit this in many pockets except maybe a coat or two. If its not turned on in my hand I usually have it in a backpack. Price? Ya its high but given my experience I think its justified. I mean this thing survives me and that means something. Lastly I sorta wish I bought a different model that had more of a beam instead of the flood this one has. That's simply because I think its neat. Finally - Cheers to Streamlight! Awesome product! It was recommended by my electrician brother enlaw and now me too. Also my dad is jealous.
I have had my doubts if I would get alot of use out of this scene light but I was delightfully wrong. This light will stay bright for 16 hours and sadly take 24----26 hours to fully charge but it's worth it especially when you can run the light off of an external power source! The 2 pictures I have attached are crude but they show the brilliance even during a snow storm. For everyone who works out doors and had a difficult job to do out there this is your work light!
