Don't waste your money on dual chargers if you are not getting the FAST vehicle charger. No way the standard vehicle charger can recharge the light to any usable capacity in less than 3 hours & it will diminish battery charge capacity to do it. Always order the FAST Vehicle charger!

This is the brightest flashlight I have ever owned. I have dropped it a couple of times and it still works fine. It is compact enough to fit easily in the door pocket of my car for quick access.

It is a great fairly small flashlight. I tuck in my waders and it works great. My only complaint is the head needs to be octagon shaped so when it gets dropped in the water it will stay put rather than roll away.

Pros:  Slim, easy to handle, easy to mount chargers. Great throw!
Cons:  Not fully waterproof. Glass lense would allow a brighter bulb. 1800mAh batteries are old.
Would recommend:  yes

Overall this is a great light. It has been out for a while now, and most people like them that I have talked to. The thing that I really wanted was a light that I can have 'at the ready' in either home or vehicle. It had to have a good burn time for each battery charge, but have the most light possible for a simple hand held. I was surprised by how for it will throw USEFUL light!

We have a Cattle Ranch and a good flashlight is a must. The Ultra Stinger #78014 is well worth the money. Other flashlights look pitiful compared to this Streamlight.

I recently bought an Ultra-stinger flash light. Overall, the light is bright and easy to carry. I've noticed that the bulbs shatter or burn out very easily. Being a police officer my flashlight is one of my main tools and is used on a nightly basis. Being the clutz that I am I have dropped the light several times. Everytime I have dropped it the bulb breaks. The only problem with this is that the bulbs must be ordered and cost about $6.50 each plus shipping. the bulb has also burned out oncce shortly after I got it. As far as quality goes it's a great light, but in my opinion it is not suited for police duty for the simple fact that the bulbs are fragile. If you are hard on your equipment like I am this is NOT the light for you.
