Great for distance lighting - Streamlight UltraStinger Rechargeable LED Flashlight

Overall an awesome light. Very solid. Definitely a distance champ. I'm a big fan of Streamlight and own 7 of them. This light throws a fairly tight, solid beam a long way. At about 20', the beam is about 1-2' in diameter, very intense, with more spillover than my HP LED. The beam is excellent at a distance. For LEOs, keep in mind this light is long, so no endcap switch. The standard Streamlight side-mount switch on the side isn't for everyone, as it tends to be a little bit small, IMO. When I unholster the light with one hand, I often have to jostle it in order to get the switch in the right position. Streamlight has better tactical choices. But the switch is programmable with the power-saving dimmer, which is very useful. The length and weight of this light can certainly be your friend should the need for an improvised impact tool arise. This light apparently isn't designed to focus, but unscrewing the lighthead makes the beam wider if you really need it. However, the head loosens substantially if you do this. Bottom line: Awesome handheld flashlight for distance use, definitely the brightest I've ever had. May not be as practical as the Stinger DS HL LED if you need something for regular, nightly duty use.
