Description
Due to its proprietary rechargeable NiMH battery, the UltraStinger is the slimmest and lightest flashlight in this guide. As the saying goes, ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain; this is an attractive choice for those who are looking to reduce the load of a daily carry pack or duty belt. Light output remains high, but the drawback is runtime — 16 hours on low, or 1.5 hours on high. However, Streamlight makes recharging easy with two included cradles and two adapters. The UltraStinger’s handle is sleeved with ridged rubber, producing a comfortable and secure grip. The 3-meter impact rating is reassuring, especially if the light may need to be used as a defensive weapon or blunt-force instrument.
Pros: Slim, lightweight, and grippy aluminum body, Impact-resistant against 3-meter drops, Includes two charging cradles and two power adapters
Cons: Short runtime, Non-adjustable spotlight beam is best suited for long-range use.
