Streamlight Stinger LED Flashlight Overview & Comparison

In this video I discuss the different Streamlight Stinger LED variants that I have as well as my preferences on battery type, LED version, and dual switch preference. Note: I am assuming in this video that most viewers are familiar with this type of flashlight and how it functions (ex: hold power button for high-med-low cascade; double-tap button for strobe effect) [Versions Examined] -Blue Stinger DS (dual-switch) -Black Stinger HL (high-lumen) -Black Stinger DS (with standard end cap installed) [Recommendation: Dual Switch vs. Std. End Cap] Dual Switch. Why? It grants the user an additional method to activate torch. Good for inspection in tight spots and cycling through hi-med-low brightness settings. Bam on...bam off. [Energizer: Recommendation & Comments] 1. Li-Ion (Part No. 75176); Why #1? Light-weight; good charge/discharge life. 2. NiMH (Part No. 75375); Excellent light output; slightly lighter than NiCd; suffers performance decrease with age (around 1yr). 3. NiCd (Part No. 75175); Standard battery; suffers significant performance decrease with age (6+months in my experience) [LED: High Lumen (HL) vs. Std. C4 LED?] No preference. Just be aware that greater power comes at the cost of decreased battery life. I personally have no output complaints with the standard, smaller C4 LED. Note: These flashlights carry a limited lifetime warranty (2-year). If you have any faults contact Streamlight or go see your particular tool truck dealer that sells Streamlight flashlights to carry out a warranty repair. As always, please take care. -Joshua C.
