Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm a flashlight junkie and own at least a dozen of various manufacture, from Maglights to Surefire. I purchased this light several weeks ago and I have to say it's superb and one of the better flashlights I've owned. It's very sturdy and well made, compact, and has a cool factor of 10.
Holding the power button down allows you to adjust the light intensity for each beam from soft to very bright (4 brightness settings). Exterior positive + markings are molded into the case exterior, allowing battery changes in total darkness by feel only. A wire holds the end cap on, preventing it from being dropped in the dark and thus rendering the light useless.
As an avid hunter and outdoorsman, the adjustable red and/or blue LED is perfect for stealth mode, keeping my presence in the dark to a minimum and preserving my night vision. Unlike the prior reviewer, I have no "halo" type beam with a dark center and bright outer edge, the beam is solid and consistent throughout all the different settings. The white light is clean with no yellow tinge and also adjusts from soft to very bright on its highest setting, more than sufficient to light up any task requiring precise vision.
The head is adjustable as well, allowing me to stand the light up on a surface and freeing both hands up. Something that's pretty difficult to do with a standard tubular flashlight. The black selector knob is easy to memorize by feel for night use and you can accurately pick which color beam you are selecting in the dark. The IR Beam is well marked with an external tab that can be identified in the dark and with a little effort its position can be memorized. I have not had any issues with selecting the wrong beam at the wrong time.
Streamlight put a lot of thought into this light and got it perfect as far as I'm concerned. It is about as superb a light as you can find for those of us who hunt or work in the dark and need more than just a light with a bright beam and an on/off switch.
