Common praise
Exceptional brightness and beam distance for a compact searchlight.Versatile tactical and duty modes with multiple output levels.Durable construction with high-quality aluminum and excellent waterproofing.Long runtime on lowest mode (up to 28 hours).Convenient rechargeable batteries with USB-C charging.
High maximum output and brightnessLong runtime especially on medium and low modesErgonomic design with firm grip and anti-roll bodyMode selector switch allowing quick access to desired outputMultiple activation switches (front and tail) for convenienceIPX7 water resistance and 2 meter impact resistanceCompatibility with existing Stinger chargersBuilt-in Micro USB charging on batteries for on-the-go charging
Common complaints
Not designed for everyday carry due to size and weight.Turbo mode runtime is very short (50 seconds at max output).Higher brightness levels have limited runtime due to heat management.
Maximum output is a brief burst then steps down to half-brightnessSwitches require considerable force to activate constant on, less comfortable than older modelsWide beam angle reduces peak beam intensity and range compared to previous high-intensity variants
