Review on πŸ”΄ Streamlight 76800 Stinger Switchblade - Portable 800 Lumen LED Light Bar With USB Cord in Eye-Catching Red Shade by Tim Curd

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not the same Streamlight

Very upset with this purchase. I have been using Streamlights for many years and they have been the brightest and highest quality lights that can pack a punch but I am very unhappy with this switchblade. The quality of light is very bright and transmits the flow of light well. What this product lacks is design and durability. The button is in a very awkward position and it is not common to place the light in a difficult place and turn it on or off or even switch modes. The lenses over the headlights are the biggest disappointment, the tiniest of drops and chemicals like oils and detergents interacting with them will cause them to blur and break, dimming the light. This flashlight does not work well in an automotive environment. The rotating neck should have more articulation so you can better hang and position the light how you want it, or even a magnetic base that rotates would be very helpful. The magnets need to be stronger, they just don't cut it, because when light hits it or there's a strong wind, that's enough to shake the light and it will eventually fall off. And my last complaint is the battery life, it's not as good as my other Streamlights, I found it doesn't even last 3 hours a day which is not ideal for my line of business.
