Streamlight 74300 Strion 375-Lumen Compact Rechargeable Flashlight Without Charger, Black

I now own 3 streamlight Strions. My first one I bought for work 10 years ago! I had to warranty it last year because the LED finally quit. No hassle warranty process. Just send it in (without the battery) and they sent me a new one. Nice! A brand new flash light.If you're trying to decide between this one and the HL (high lumen) version, I'd recommend this one. I have both versions and I really prefer the lower lumen one. The HL version is brighter than you need in most cases. Plus the battery life is really bad (on the brightest setting), and it gets really hot really fast. This one gets warm too, but not like the HL. Plus the battery life is much better. This light is plenty bright, especially using in confined spaces (like working on cars).I use these primarily at work (auto repair) and they will blind you when reflecting off some surfaces under the hood or under the car. The HL is too bright. This one is sometimes too bright. Out in the open, in pitch black, (like camping) either light will be more than bright enough to spot wildlife or find your way to the tree/bathroom. But like I said the HL version battery life is no bueno, so I'd still recommend this one for any situation.Your other option is the Streamlight Stinger which is insane bright (700ish lumens). That's a lot when directed in such a small beam of light. But I still prefer this one because it is small enough to comfortably fit in your pocket, while the Stinger is not. Plus this one is bright enough.I have not found a better quality flashlight. I have dropped these thousands of times on concrete, in oil, coolant, water, trans fluid.. Been ran over, thrown in to the wall. You name it, it has happened to my flashlights. Still nothing kills them. You will not be disappointed with this light!

This light is a workhorse. I’ve owned 4 of these over my 9 years in LE(only one has had an issue and the others were simply lost). I’ve used them as a patrolman, a narcotics officer and a K9 handler. They have held up very well. I made the switch to the Strion from the Stinger several years ago to have a smaller light and have not missed the Stinger at all. The light is fast charging and last for a couple of days of constant use on vehicle searches through out a 12 hour shit. The light is bright enough for distance and close range inspection. It’s compact and is approximately the length of a bladed hand. The only issue I had was with a battery which Streamlight quickly replaced. I would recommend this light to anyone.

One of the best flashlights I ever seen

This is a great flashlight which withstands drops up to 2 meters. The Light seems waterproof though i haven't tested that! I lost my first one and this replacement is sure to be just as grand as the previous streamlight. Very bright great for sidearm grab and stun situations. Strobe feature is fantastic if you need to be seen. Made not to roll away though it may fall from a 90 degree incline...so if it does just go pick it up. Three levels of light output; 40, 80, and 160 lumens. 2,500cd-10,000cd; on low runtime is 7hr 30mins med is 4hr and high is 2hr. distance on low is 100m, med is 141m, high is 200m. Strobe runs on high for max of 5hr 30mins. Built to live on charger and not be damaged due to overcharge. Advertised as capable of operating on charger. If you need more light in the shade of a sunny day get this light! Packaging also verifies safe operation during storms/showers...shoot probably even during tornadoes...Manual clarifies that this light is not intended and is not safe for use in hazardous situations...most likely meaning chemically/biologically hazardous. i.e. where toxic gases are present. Beam MAY/MIGHT cut through fog and smoke. Comes with battery installed and all in original packaging. Requires charge prior to use!

I have the light and associated DC wall charger plugged into my Vanagon auxiliary batteries for charging and general camp/travel use. When not travelling, I keep the light in the house for weeks at a time without recharging and it is super-bright. This is a quality light. Three days ago, I was using on top of my van and dropped it 7 feet to concrete. Works great - no cracks. I think this is a no-brainer purchase. You can also get it with AC power, but I like to have the charge capability in vehicle but only if you have auxiliary batteries.

I am a bit of a flashlight geek and own a number of hand held lights in this category. Previous to receiving my Strion LED, my most used hand held was a Fenix TK11 with a standard Strion as a backup. While the TK11 is a great light, the Strion LED beats it in a number of categories. This light has great grip and the one button operation allows the user to access all of its functionality with one hand. The bright mode is impressively bright, a common feature of modern CREE or C4 LED products. However, the Strion light is very white when compared to some of my CREE LED lights, which seem to have a bit of a blue tint at times. If you are in the market for a small rechargeable light, this is a great option. It is certain to become my daily-use light with the TK11 being demoted to backup and the standard Strion staying home.Streamlight also stands behind their products with an excellent warranty. I'm glad to see they are modernizing their product line and hope the Strion LED is the beginning of a new trend for Streamlight.

This is a very bright/powerful flashlight for the size. Puts out more light than several larger models. The design prevents it from rolling away if dropped or laid on the ground. Due to the compact size, it is very easily carried for law enforcement purposes. Streamlight stands behind their products. I had an earlier version, which was not an LED light, that suddenly stopped working. After contacting Streamlight, I learned the light had a lifetime guarantee so I shipped it back. Streamlight fixed the problem, no questions asked, and sent it back to me within two weeks. I would highly recommend this light!
