Common praise
High maximum output and long beam distanceDurable aerospace-grade build and IP68 waterproof ratingIntuitive dual tail and toggle switch interfaceLong runtime up to 102 hours in Eco modeFast USB Type-C charging in about 1.5 hours
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
Potential downshift in brightness due to overheat protectionLEDs not user-replaceableRequires specific battery types for proper operation
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
