Just got this one and compared to Stinger HP. Mag is brighter and has a wider pattern at a distance. HP is nice due to smaller size for carrying but if illumination is what you really want the Mag charger will not disappoint.

I am a police officer and have carreid this light for years. It is roughly 3 times as brite as the popular Stinger flashlight. It is very well made in the U.S.A. at a state of the art facility that makes most of the sub components as well. This light is solid. The tempered glass lens is a nice touch.....impervious to the heat a halogen bulb can generate. This light is a full sized police flashlight that can double as an impact weapon in exigent circumstances......we all know they prefer you dont strike a bad guy with a flashlight but the reality is that when you get attacked at night you probably already have your flashlight in your hand.....so it is common sense that you might have to use it defensively...the Stinger is useless in this regard....you might have to drop it to draw your impact baton. Anyhow, a great flashlight from a manufacturer that realy believes in making their products here in the U.S.A. a litle bit on the heavy side, but should last an entire career.

This is one great system. Highly recommend it. Having it on the bracket means I always know where it is at. Nice feature being able to go from spot to flood light.

As a food plant inspector, this is the best light for the job. Very bright and even light. I've had several. Why so many? People keep wanting to buy my used one and I pass it on when it gets a little dinged up. Since Optic Planet sells them so reasonable, I get what I paid for it! I would recommend buyin an extra bulb or two. There are a little hard to find and will burn out sometimes if dropped while on - hence the ding ups..

overall this light is great. a must have for people who need a light with far throw or a light to blind someone with. not a good choice if you just need a light for around the house or power outages due to the extreme brightness and the beam meant for far throw.
