Finally, a bright, reliable, adjustable flashlight with good high power battery life
Style: W/ USB Rechargable 18650 Batteries Size: One Size
I live near Lake Erie. At the end of the property above the lake there is a 1/3 mile long winding path from the edge of the property to the lake front along a creek. I need a bright, durable, dirt proof and water resistant flashlight because it's incredibly dark at night on the path to the lake. I've researched all brands of flashlights and have owned a wide variety of brands from the cheap 2 for $20 Amazon "specials" to $50 Mag Lights to a $100 Sure Fire flashlight. None of them have met my requirements and I've ruined all of them over time. I spent hours researching hand held lights and saw this model in one of the reviews. Here's why this particular light meets my needs: -LONG battery life on high beam, over 2 hours at 4200 lumens with the rechargeable batteries over an hour at 3200 lumens with Lithium 123 batteries. Some of the other high end lights like Olight that have 2-3 minutes on high beam with their OEM rechargeable batteries. -"Dual fuel" - this light can use four 123 lithium batteries or the OEM rechargeable batteries. The 123's aren't as bright as the OEM rechargeable batteries but they still provide excellent output while the other batteries are recharging. See the photo - the 123's are NOT included but they are readily available, cheap, last 10 years on a shelf and are excellent back up batteries -Dirt and sand proof, water resistant. I read a 1 star review whining about the lack of an external USB charging port and having to charge the batteries instead. That is actually a strong positive for me. An external USB port provides a very vulnerable entry point for dirt and water and the rubber USB port covers ALWAYS come loose and vanish. Recall that I'm using this light on a beach at night and the moisture and sand have killed many other lights in short order. -Top rate machining. This Streamlight torch is well made. The threads are precisely cut, it uses a silicone O ring on the batter cap and the switch also has a silicone cover - see the close up photos. -Three "ten tap" settings. You can change the light settings with ten button pushes to either High, Strobe, Low, High, medium and low or high only -Lower cost than most premium flashlights that allows for the purchase of 2 extra OEM rechargeable batteries that are readily available with Prime shipping that make this light the same price as many other lights with just 2 rechargeable batteries Areas of improvement: -It could use a "lockout" button so the light cannot be accidentally activated in a back pack or day pack Overall, this Streamlight model has met all my needs in tough conditions that include constant exposure to sand, dirt, moisture and water. Hope this helps! ... show more

Its streamlight… what else is there to say
Style: W/ USB Rechargable 18650 Batteries Size: One Size
Does good. Rather bright, medium ish throw distance, but it is on the bigger side. Somewhere between 2d and 3 d cell maglites, kind in the middle length wise. Head diameter is as or bigger. Body diameter is smaller-smaller batteries. Comes with dual connection cord, no block. Can speak on runtime. Does get warm if on for a few. Rubber grip texture on body ic tachy but not too grippy. Will catch on a shirt if worn on hip. No included sheath. Got it as a house light and thats its best purpose. Too big for daily carry, unless car carrying. I have much more expensive and brighter, but for the price versus competition in price range, id buy it first, again over others. Just keep in mind it is on the bigger size and not a edc/pocket or even hip carry type. ... show more

Best flashlight on the market.
Style: W/ USB Rechargable 18650 Batteries Size: One Size
This is by far the BEST flashlight on the market - and quite possibly the best ever created. Extremely bright. Perfectly balanced. Rugged as heck. And easy to use. The rubberized texture and carry cord make this flashlight a pleasure to hold and use. Plus it’s programming ability and simple but effective tri tap button lets you quickly and precisely select the beam you want. I have bought and tried countless flashlights over the years but nothing even comes close to matching the performance of this light. And it’s a bargain too! ... show more

Great Light - Worth It
Style: W/ USB Rechargable 18650 Batteries Size: One Size
The light is very well-built and seems tight overall. The build is what makes the light feel substantial. If your hands are a little bigger, you'll probably notice (at first) that the light feels just a bit small, but the quality of the light makes it worth adjusting your grip a smidge. Its best qualities are the brightness and range of this light. It's pretty impressive. I'd say it's bright enough to be used effectively (more or less) in a lighted area, which was more than I expected. - I have not used the programming functions. I'll probably try them, but I'll only be running this light on bright with the rechargeable Streamlight batteries. - I wish it came with a sleeve, but getting the pigtail charge cable is a solid trade because the batteries do take a full five hours to charge. Yep, you have to remove the batteries to charge them, but that doesn't bother me so much as it may others. I guess that would be at top of my wish list for improvements, but I wouldn't want to sacrifice quality to have it - and there's always some taking with the giving. - There's no manual beam adjustment, but that's not this light's intended use. It's built to be rugged and bright, period. If that's what you're after, go ahead and spend the money. ... show more
