Streamlight75813 Stinger DS LED Flashlight with AC/DC Steady Charger, Black - 425 Lumens

This is an amazing tool. Very robust, reliable and strong. I love the features and benefits for this light - the three beam intensity settings, and the strobe. This thing is super durable and will take some bad abuse. I work in security, third shift and use this light virtually every night. I have had this light for almost a year and it still works very well. I've beaten on doors with it*, dropped it many many times, its gotten wet, been exposed to extreme temperatures and weather conditions and, at times I've used it daily for over a week at a time without charging it and, still it shines and operates reliably. It's got some scars on it... but functions flawlessly.I highly recommend getting a flashlight with a strobe. The strobe feature has two important functions: disorienting and temporarily blinding a hostile threat. And second, it is excellent for flagging down first responders. This light is very bright, and I am pleased with how far it will shine with an excellent balance between center, and peripheral illumination.My only complaint would be that I would like it to be even brighter to enable me to shine brighter through window tint that is 15% and lower. I can still shine through 5% tint, but I have to be up close and even then it only dimly illuminates a small spot inside. I'd like more tint- piercing brightness. However it does do well on tint that is above 20%.So if you're looking for an all around great flashlight, something that you can buy and rely on with confidence, a light that will last for years and years then the Stream Light Stinger DS LED c4 is for you.*( I stopped beating on doors with it after a few days cause I believed it could be detrimental to the battery - I don't know that it had any detrimental effect on the flashlight in any way- but It's not something I'd recommend or something that I want to continue doing.)

Wow! I love this flashlight. Charged it up and took it outside the first night. I heard coyotes in the field across the road. Turned it on, heard a little yip, and no more coyotes. The next day I took the light to work (industrial maintenance). We were having problems with an electronic control board. To see better, I turned my DS C4 on the board. Oops. It burned a hole right through the board, about 1-1/2" in diameter! Wow, that's why they have three different levels of brightness.When I got home that evening, I walked to where I had seen the coyote the night before. He was still there, dead as a doornail with an 1-1/2" hole burned right through him! This made me start to think of the many uses for this flashlight. My snow blower chute wouldn't turn because it was frozen. I turned my DS C4 on low beam, and aimed it at the ice. Within seconds it melted the ice and I was off and running.The next day at work, we were sliding 4'x10'sheets of 1/4" plate steel into place to create a new floor area. One sheet needed to be trimmed around a beam. I wondered.....Sure enough, my DS C4 had plenty of power to cut the plate. I've only had this light for a week, but I can see that the uses are endless. The fact that it is rechargeable only adds to fun.I took my wife to a restaurant we had been wanting to try, but have avoided because it's in a high crime area. She said "Honey, are you sure we'll be safe" I showed her my Stinger DS C4 and her worries were over. What an enjoyable evening. I am sure that other users have had similar experiences with this light.I would buy the DS C4 again, in a flash.

Someone gave me one of these flashlights and I loved it. The light is bright, comfortable to hold, light weight, easily rests in you pocket, and comes with a convenient car charger. I dropped my light into Lake Lanier one night and I am sure the fish are still using somewhere in the 80+ feet deep lake. I did not hesitate a to go to Amazon and purchase another light, for a little more than $100.00. When I received my new light, it was already charged and I was "back in business" until I took off then end cap. The end cap was mis-threaded and it would not go back on properly. I ordered an exchange from Amazon and it was very convenient with their return/exchange policy and practices. I received my new light and returned the faulty one with no hassles; however, when I received my second one, the exact same thing happened except this time, the cap mis threaded as I was unscrewing it and it would not come off or go back on. I was gentle with it when I tried to unscrew it because I was worried about it, but it still snagged and got stuck. I called the Stream light company and spoke to their customer service, they told me this was not a common problem, but they have had a few complaints. Stream light told me to take the light to an authorized dealer to check the light, however, the closest one to my house is more than 40 miles away, so again, I exchanged it with Amazon and was sent a new light. I have had the second new one now for about a week, so far, so good... I think the light is Awesomely bright, I'd recommend it to anyone.

The best flashlight I have ever had in mind hands! 100% recommend purchasing
