Have just initiated the call to Streamlight to address the problem. Will see how the company will stand behind their product - I believe they will and still think these are some of the best products out there.

save time and money with this system! i use this at glamis, dumont and backpacking and cant live without it!people are blown away at the amount of light and how far it penetrates during the desert night.puts out more light than a 4 cell maglight and is 10 times smaller.i have used it for 4 years now and bought a few more to keep in every car i own. they are the most rugged light money can buy.my old maglights are sitting in my closet not in use.buy one and never look back again!

I bought this because I had its predecessor, the Scorpion, which is also a very good compact light. I just wanted a rechargeable version, and the Strion didn't disappoint.

I use this as my primary flashlight for police work. It is very bright and it comes in handy to have it right on my belt. If you need a powerfull small light this is the one!

What I like best about the Strion is that it packs a punch that rivals flashlights 5 times its size. It's a bit on the pricey side, but with its compact size and long battery life (approx. 60 minutes continuous), it's a pretty slick unit. I am astounded by how quickly it takes to complete charging. It's idea for mounting inside the glove box or console of your vehicle. The Strion is like a tougher, rechargeable version of Streamlight's Scorpion. If you need a powerful yet small rechargeable incandescent light, this is it. I mostly use mine for night exploring and camping.
