This does work but clip design could be better as in just a wrap around clip as found on other pen type lights. It did take me a few minutes to assemble but basically the clip is sandwiched between the light shaft and the ring. The set screw when tightened through the nut n the inside will hold it tight. I wanted the clip tighter so I did have to bend it inward slightly before installing. Other than that it's working fine and is very secure once assembled. Instructions should be included in package though for sure.
Very easy to install and the white light is very bright. The red dot is easily visible as well. Adjusting the red dot is a bit tricky, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! If you turn the adjustment screws too far you can break it. It's very easy to have the light on temporarily or all the time. My only complaint is that you don't seem to be able to toggle the red dot on separately. They are either both on or both off.
Decent light at best. Do not trust the battery life rating! You will get half that at best. Got stuck in the dark on a trail due to the poor battery life vs what I expected to get. Good for around the house perhaps. Do not use when you have to depend on battery life at all.
What can I say? My dog chewed up the strap on my fav Nitecore. Now that I have this strap I like the headlamp even more. This seems to provide better retention than the cloths elastic strap. It does smell a little like imported rubber, but it's not too bad. It's cheaply made, but it's cheap cost and lightweight so it works perfectly fine. Im gonna order up 2 more to "upgrade" my other headlights. It does hold the light on my head better than the original with the top strap. So that's cool.
Trust the other reviews. The pin broke on the first try when plugging then unplugging the crane plug into my light. This is terrible quality from streamlight.
Looks awesome on my FNX .45 Tactical handgun. Comes with batteries. The laser shows up very will in the day light. I saw it perfectly at 50 yards. The Light es extremely bight and shows clearly at night for at least 30 feet ( from my back porch to the woods behind me). Call me stupid if you like but I tested the strobe light on myself.I had a hard time opening my eyes for a full minute and my eyes bothered me for sever minutes afterword. So any would be bad guys will be at a huge disadvantage.
I think I may have obtained a defective product. I have rarely used this light, but the batteries consistently die on me, leaving me with a very low beam. I’ve used eight of the Streamlight Lithium Cells and haven’t really gotten out to any extensive use of the light. Recently I noticed that it appears the LED has burnt out on one side despite the limited use on it, resulting in a blank spot in the center of the beam. The rubber ring in the front seems to be off as well. Once again, I’ve rarely used this flashlight and in just surprised at the signs of stress it’s already showing. When I first got this flashlight it worked really well, and I suspect that mine had a flaw that caused defeatism of the seal and diode a few months in. It used to give a brilliant beam but I first noticed the batteries losing their juice very quickly even when not in use. I’ve heard that I can get the diode replaced as well as the seal. I hope to get a response on this.
No issues with mine. 10 tap programming works like it should and the light is plenty bright. I really don’t desire any more brightness and do enjoy that this light also has a medium output setting as well adjust high and low. Max brightness is more comparable to what surefire advertises as 500 lumen. Little bit larger than I was expecting as I’m used to carrying a surefire g2x which is also an 18650 or (2)cr123 size light. It’s still small enough to daily carry if you’re a frequent flashlight user but it is a bit on the heavy side and you won’t forget you’re carrying it. Updated pic with almost 2yrs daily use. Starting to show some wear but functions perfectly. Still using my original battery with excellent battery life. I charge weekly at most. I did manage to break the glass lense but quickly replaced it with some polycarbonate welding lenses I had available. Light is a bit more diffused now due to that but not an issue with it being as bright as it is. Overall still love this light and it’s worth the money. Is still a bit large for pocket carry but doable if you must have a great flashlight on you at all times.
The package of 12 batteries that I purchased is not what I received...2 batteries only. Buyer beware
It is very compact and handy. The different brightness levels are useful and easy the switch between. Being as compact as it is, on the high (1,000 lumen) setting it starts getting mildly heading to very warm/hot after a minute or so of constant use. The lower (300 lumen) setting remains comfortable without this problem. I rarely have to use the flashlight more than a minute, and when I do I transition to a larger handheld flashlight for extended use needs. I unintentionally left it in the pocket of the cargo pants I had it in, and it went through an entire washing machine cycle with no I'll effects. I plan to purchase another so I can have one with my work gear and one with my personal gear.
I saw a YouTube video saying that the Glock model (69290) fit the Springfield XDS better than the model for this Springfield XD (69291). I ordered both and I confirmed this is true. Pictured here is the 69290. The light can slide up and back on the rail a little, so I jammed some paper in next to the trigger guard while installing and it set the light firmly in place. You can see that it's not a perfect fit, but it is pretty darn close. I definitely like it better than the TLR-8, which I also had to try. The 100 Lumens is much dimmer than the 500 of the TLR-8, but it does the job. Even 100 Lumens is painful if shined in the eyes while indoors, during the day. It will light up your target at night at self defense ranges. I'm sure the TLR-8 has better throw, but you might have a hard time explaining to the district attorney why you felt your life was in danger from someone that far away. My only gripe is the position of the switch (minus 1 star). I cannot reach it with my trigger finger without shifting my grip. It is easy to find with the support hand thumb, if you are working 2 handed. I do like the TLR-6 switch much better than the TLR-8. But I am spoiled by the paddles on my old X2. They were the best. The electronics in the TLR-6 are not nearly as protected as the TLR-8. The TLR-8 has a gasket seal to keep water out. You're not likely to douse your pistol in water anyway... but the TLR-6 offers zero protection against water entry to the electronics. Bottom line, it will do. But I am ordering the Crimson Trace and the Viridian for comparison. I will pay more to get an accessible switch. Update: the Crimson Trace and the Viridian CL5 are accessible with your trigger finger, without shifting your grip. This is MUCH better in my opinion.
The Streamlight naming scheme is confusing, but this one (89016) includes the rechargeable battery, 1913/picatinny rail mount, MLOK mount, and the pressure switch. Everything you need, right out of the box. Pros: Output (800 lm/105,000 cd), dual function tail cap, included farkles, dual-fuel (included rechargeable battery and CR123A compatible), warranty, and price ($159.99 on 4/18/25). Neutral: Ten-Tap is annoying, and it's sole function is to disable strobe mode. Maybe someone out there will use strobe or low mode. Doubt it. Momentary only switch (pro for me, might be a con for you). Cons: It is NOT crane plug compatible. It's a proprietary Streamlight plug that looks a lot like crane, but isn't. Mildly infuriating that Streamlight didn't just use an industry standard. The plug kind of slops around in the back of the tail cap, and it doesn't feel as solid. Using the loose plug/switch reduces the waterproof rating per the manual. The included SL-B26 battery is proprietary, but at least it's USB C compatible. The light itself looks kind of cheap. Also, this light is HUGE. -1 star for proprietary plug/switch and proprietary battery in the year 2025. Dear Streamlight, please just use a crane plug and 18650 battery next time... Otherwise I can't complain much considering the price. It's way better than their older rifle lights. I think Streamlights definitely look and feel like a budget option, but the output and price is hard to argue with. A comparable Surefire M640DF will look sleeker, but will literally cost 3x more after being forced to buy a dual switch tail cap and pressure pad. This is the new king of budget rifle lights.
(TLDR: IMO low cost, multifunction headlamp, with questionable quality.) First off, I wanted to say that I love Streamlight. I have a pen light that I used as an auto technician for the past 10 years and a Stinger Ds2 for the past 8 years. You could say I'm a fan of streamlight. After saying all that, this product is not the quality of craftsman that streamlight usually has. I've had this headlamp for around 10 months. You better stock up on AAA batteries because it practically eats them. The main issue I have is that of craftsmanship. The tilting function bracket broke about a month ago. I took it out of my tool box one day, and it just fell apart. I take care of my things, so I was suprised this happened. I'm also disappointed in the warranty process, I can't seem reach anyone. In my opinion, if you want a low cost, multifunction headlamp, with questionable quality and warranty, This is the one for you.
The product they sent me not the same ass the picture
