Search & Rescue (extreme long-range visibility)Hunting (precision LEP spotlight)Tactical & Law Enforcement (strobe, OLED display, remote switch compatibility)Industrial & Emergency Use (bright floodlight)Outdoor & Survival (rugged and long runtime)
Tactical useDuty useOutdoor activitiesEvery situation requiring powerful illumination
Common praise
Exceptional long-range beam distance (1650 meters)High output brightness (3000 lumens)Versatile lighting modes (Spot, Flood, Mix)OLED display providing real-time infoDurable construction with IP68 ratingLong runtime up to 60 hours on low modeUSB-C fast charging convenience
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
LEP mode has a 30-second time constraint due to overheating protection
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
