Streamlight 76801 Stinger Switchblade LED Light Bar with 120V/100V AC Charger, 1 Holder, Red - 800 Lumens

I need to stop buying steamlight products, this one is the biggest let down yet. It is missing so many required features it’s not even funny. My biggest complaint is that the bar does not rotate, which I could understand if the body of the light was round with an anti roll feature. You can only put the light down on one of 2 sides. It is the stupidest thing. The base is not big enough to stand the light up with out it falling over from the slightest vibration/bump. I bought this light because my other rechargeable drop light dies after about an hour of use, and it has its flaws... but for the $34 dollars I spent on the other brand light, it blows this streamlight out of the water. I started this review at a 3 star rating, but after talking to my wife (that used it for a few things over the last couple days) she hates it just as much as I do. Streamlight really dropped the ball on this one. Pass on this piece of junk, save your money and buy a no name rechargeable droplight.

As a mechanic, I have used this light every day for almost exactly a year. The light output is very good, the warmer light is nicer than I thought it would be, and the UV light is very handy. However, the lenses are easily damaged. The magnet is too weak to be useful. The light stopped charging on the dock after about six months. And, most recently, the brighter LEDs started flickering and sticking around half brightness. Hopefully this company will come through with their lifetime warranty but I expect I'll have to be without a light for a few weeks during that process, which is a problem. Overall, it's a decent light that could have been much better.

This think is amazing I’m a mechanic it sticks under hoods preatty good think magnet could be just slightly stronger but it works good amazing light only other thing that might be cool is if you could use the front and back lights at the same time but it’s got great battery life used it under the hood of a car for 3+ hours and it didn’t die I have dropped it a few times no damage very solid light so fat had it a few months just bought a 2nd one for my house

I use this for 10hr shifts in the field as a truck/equipment tech. It’s tough, bright, has 3 different kinds of lighting, and uses the same charger as my stinger lights. ONE THING I WILL SAY, i cannot get the battery out of it. For my regular stinger light, I keep an extra battery with me so I can swap out, but this light I cannot do that. I just have to put it on the charger and wait. Luckily the battery life is really good. I ran it non stop for 7hrs and it was still bright by the end.

from someone that uses this light every day for work climbing in and out of machines it folds up and fits in you pocket and fits perfect in my tool bag the life of the battery has lasted me for 2 to 3 days running about 2 to 5 hours of run time before having to recharge now I'm not sure how that will hold up in the future after running it like that but we will see the brightness on all the lights are great I can not complain it it bright I have 2 other lights similar to this different name brand that only last me 3 to 4 hours of run time so this is a step up for me

Pros: Light is great. Durable, Good battery life, and the magnet is pretty strong. Can also charge on stinger platform Cons: no quick swap battery so you have to wait a year for it to charge before you can use it again. This is an inconvenience for me. With the stinger flashlights I have 4 extra batteries so they’re always good to go. Hopefully a gen 2 switchblade will have that option

Out of the box this thing is a beast. Magnet in base strong enough to hold onto whatever you want to stick it on, the "true color" light really helps see the actual color of the object you're illuminating and the other side is a little brighter. I've never been dissappointed with a streamlight product. Worth every cent of the cost.

The light works fine. The charger holder is an other matter, the socket for the usb cord was broke off the circuit board rolling around loose inside the housing. Now if I want to use the charger holder I have to buy an optional AC or 12 volt power cord for 29 dollars. Oh well live and maybe learn. Should have returned it, my fault for not.
