Streamlight 78100 Stinger 2020 2000-Lumen Rechargeable Professional Flashlight with Y USB Cord and Without Charger, Black

I’ve had many many lights over my 23 years of patrol. This is a great light. NOBODY makes this type of ergonomic design. Hard to explain, but it’s like holding a pen. It’s amazing in your hand and you’ll wish you bought it sooner. A lot is covered about the light in other reviews. As you can see in pic, I added some rubberized grip tape to the area where the light naturally held with your hand. The ergonomics are awesome. Just add some rubberized tape to the ergo area and it’s perfect. Not much info in reviews about compatible holsters. If you’re looking for a high quality holster for molle for this great light, the one from zero9 holsters is the winner. Check them out. Took a few to find the right combo, but zero9 wins. They also have a belt version. Pics attached. Update after being used on patrol as primary light for over a month on graves. It’s running solid. Even after numerous drops. The light is built solid. Very happy with this design. I’ve been asked about it from others I work with. Now several are running them. Great job Streamlight. Another update another month later. This light is pretty tough. We’ve all had various items roll off our lap and onto concrete when getting out. Maybe just me haha. It’s definitely cop proof for this cop because I drop crap all the time. It’s also one of the few Streamlights still made here in the USA. A majority of the Pro Tac series are made in China. I learned this as my son started his career. He ordered a ProTac light for his duty rifle. “Made in China”. Disappointed in Streamlight. But, they still make a ton of lights here at home… All Stingers, TLR weapon series, SL series, intrinsic/fire lights and some specialty application lights are still made here at home. Light lasts my 1800-0600 shifts no problem with heavy use. There’s a subdued battery status light under the front button that lets you know green, yellow or red. Regarding charging. These WILL recharge in all previous Stinger charging cradles (12v or 110v cords. The Stinger 2020 cradle that is also for 110v has what Streamlight calls a “propriety” port/cable. Ehhhh, nope. It’s micro usb. They have a little nub on their branded micro usb cable that “locks” in place. Not really. Don’t think you need to buy a bunch of new cradles and cables. ANY micro usb will work with the Stinger 2020 cradles. And for all those guys out there with older charging cables and cradles that use the rectangular two prong connector for 12v and 110v, those work fine with the new cradle as well. So, in my humble opinion, if you have an old Stinger cradle and charging cable at home, get the a less expensive version and use your current chargers. I’m the type of person that opens crap up and looks inside. I had an old Stinger cradle. I ordered a stinger 2020 with the cradle (and micro usb). Once you remove the two Phillips screws on both of them, the boards are almost 100% identical. The only difference I could find was the integration of a micro USB port on the stinger 2020 version. Otherwise, the board is absolutely identical. And that’s when comparing it to a cradle from 10 years ago. With the right holster, you will be happy with this light. That’s coming from a picky salty sgt ha. I added a video of real world 0300 ish hours use in semi rural area that hopefully helps you guys out. This is not a thrower. This is absolutely ideal for patrol. Another update 6/20/23. Still super impressed with this light. I work Graves 12 hr shifts. This is my primary light throughout the shift, and a good majority of the area I work in is rural and dark. Even after a night of way above average use, I still have plenty of power on the medium setting. I charge the light after each shift since you just don’t know what the next nights demands will bring. If you have a light that you are always worrying about going dead 3/4 through your shift, that’s not happening with the sucker. Can always top off in the car, but I haven’t had to do it yet after several months of truly hard use. Another nice thing is the factory side grips (and rectangular shape on the rear end) make holding the light under your arm pit really easy. No slipping at all. I don’t normally write this many updates, but I have not found a fault with this light yet. This is coming from a guy who has very high expectations for lighting. It’s a winner! Hope this helps. Stay safe out there guys.

really good quality, extremely bright, and good battery life. it is a little larger than I expected.

Used this light back when I was in law enforcement and for working on my vehicle. 10/10 nice battery length and brightness and easy to use. Sits nice between the cheek and shoulder so you can use your hands too. Only complaint which is common with all strong flashlights is that it can overheat just don’t have it against anything flammable but even then I doubt it would catch fire unless you kept it on for hours on top of the clothing. All stream light branding I typically love but this flashlight was a great buy for me

Great flashlight. Lasts me a whole shift. The lever to select brightness comes in handy. The light can get hot if you have it on the highest brightness for an extended period of time

It’s pricy, but worth every penny! Best light I’ve ever had; good weight, battery life and durability.

I purchased two of these lights and generally appreciate the build quality of Streamlight. I have 6 Streamlights. I don't want to bash this light, but one feature has been a disappointment for me. The light is listed as 2000 lumen. In practicality, it is more of an 850 lumen light with availability of occasional bursts to 2000 lumens. I have attached two photos. One shows the battery duration as 2 hours at the 2000 lumen setting. We all know you can't expect the full 2 hours in a steady stream. But the disappointment is just how short that 2000 run time is. I turned it on in a dark room on the 2000(High) setting. By 2 minutes it was dimming. By 2.5 minutes it matched my other 2020 in the Medium setting. In reality, it is only a 2000 lumen in 1–2-minute bursts. This is probably the point of my other photo showing the 2000 lumen initial spike dropping off very quickly. It is a good light, but don't over expect if you are looking at the 2000 lumen feature. After completing the 2000 lumen run test, I let the light cool and turned it back on in the Medium 850 lumen setting. It ran another 3.5 hours with little heat buildup and little degradation of intensity. One final point. Another review mentioned the focused finger pressure required to click the on/off button switch. Mine is the same. I find that this slight difficulty draws my attention away from the reason I was turning on my light in the first place.

I have wanted this light since they were introduced. I am not disappointed! I already had a charger and several chargers for 18650 batteries. I am using one of my chargers to charge because it is faster and more accurate. The light also came with a pigtail cable to charge the batteries. Like most of the Streamlight service lights, it is built massively. The switches on mine work flawlessly. Personally, I don’t need more than 3 levels. The high is a little better than 2k lumens and it has a combined spot/flood beam. It has an odd hotspot in the center of the beam. The stock batteries last a long time. If you want longer, get some 3500 mah protected cells for about a 33% increase in longevity. Summary: it is a darn good service light that withstands quite a bit of hard usage.

my previous Streamlight Stinger LED lasted me 15 years (and counting) of daily use and abuse as a field mechanic. I anticipate this to last me another 15. It is smaller and lighter than its predecessor.

flashlight is very bright on high

Streamlight steht für sich. Innovatives Lade System. Konnte meine alte Station benutzen, einfach klasse. Accus könnten etwas mehr Volumen haben. Bei 2000 Lumen gehen sie recht schnell in die Knie. Würde sie aber wieder kaufen, da die Vorteile die Nachteile überwiegen.

Excelente producto recomendable
