2 Light options: LED to read printed literature or look at a map and then a high intensity beam to illuminate an area or use as a distraction on an individual who is a threat. The construction of the unit body make this flashlight a good impact striking weapon.

the older sl series was much better. I've only been using them for 4 years and I have three that i've purchased over that time period. My first is still my go to light. The only problem that it has was the ceramic around the bulb always decomposing (easily fixable by using a standard eraser meant to go on top of a pencil... just cut off the tip and stick the remaining cylinder eraser around the bulb to hold it in the reflector. The newer lights however are using really thin metal that just cant stand up for use as a hammer. (I'm afraid to try wedging the new ones)

Make the button with a material that will really last long-term without tearing.

I bought this flashlight to replace my original SL-20 after 10 years of service. This new model is equally well built. The LED works very well with a traffic cone.

Would recommend:  no

Light is a decent flashlight. I like the fact that the LED continues to function even when the battery is low. This light is sturdy and stands up farly well. However I own three of these lights and the switches have gone on each and every one of them at least once. I have gone through at least 5 switches. The switch either stops working on the LED or stops accepting a charge; light works fine once the switch is replaced. Streamlight offers a warranty on the switch, but who has time to wait to send the light in for repair when it is so easy to replace the switch and quicker.

This flashlight meets all my expectations. I work 12 hour shifts and it is able to last throughout the entire shift with no problems. I like the fact that the LED light works with no problem when I haven't charged the flashlight in awhile.

Pros:  Great construction, good size/weight, bright
Cons:  LED's are not very bright
Would recommend:  yes

This Streamlight is extremely well put together and is well suited for patrol work. The halogen bulb is very bright and the LED's add more peripheral light and a little more intensity to the total output. The battery life is decent and it charges up pretty quickly. Overall, great flashlight.
