Common praise
Long throw performance with a tight, concentrated beamAdvanced thermal regulation for sustained outputGood build quality with aero grade aluminum and type III hard anodizingComes with complete kit including batteries and charger
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
Large size requiring two hands to operateNo full-length knurling on the tube for gripRequires button top batteries; flat top incompatibleSome dust found inside reflector in samplesSpot beam very tight, which may not be preferred by all users
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
