78101 Stinger 2020 2000-Lumen Rechargeable Professional Flashlight with 120V AC/12V DC 1 Holder Charger, Black

I’ve had many many lights over my 23 years of patrol. This is a great light. NOBODY makes this type of ergonomic design. Hard to explain, but it’s like holding a pen. It’s amazing in your hand and you’ll wish you bought it sooner. A lot is covered about the light in other reviews. As you can see in pic, I added some rubberized grip tape to the area where the light naturally held with your hand. The ergonomics are awesome. Just add some rubberized tape to the ergo area and it’s perfect. Not much info in reviews about compatible holsters. If you’re looking for a high quality holster for molle for this great light, the one from zero9 holsters is the winner. Check them out. Took a few to find the right combo, but zero9 wins. They also have a belt version. Pics attached. Update after being used on patrol as primary light for over a month on graves. It’s running solid. Even after numerous drops. The light is built solid. Very happy with this design. I’ve been asked about it from others I work with. Now several are running them. Great job Streamlight. Another update another month later. This light is pretty tough. We’ve all had various items roll off our lap and onto concrete when getting out. Maybe just me haha. It’s definitely cop proof for this cop because I drop crap all the time. It’s also one of the few Streamlights still made here in the USA. A majority of the Pro Tac series are made in China. I learned this as my son started his career. He ordered a ProTac light for his duty rifle. “Made in China”. Disappointed in Streamlight. But, they still make a ton of lights here at home… All Stingers, TLR weapon series, SL series, intrinsic/fire lights and some specialty application lights are still made here at home. Light lasts my 1800-0600 shifts no problem with heavy use. There’s a subdued battery status light under the front button that lets you know green, yellow or red. Regarding charging. These WILL recharge in all previous Stinger charging cradles (12v or 110v cords. The Stinger 2020 cradle that is also for 110v has what Streamlight calls a “propriety” port/cable. Ehhhh, nope. It’s micro usb. They have a little nub on their branded micro usb cable that “locks” in place. Not really. Don’t think you need to buy a bunch of new cradles and cables. ANY micro usb will work with the Stinger 2020 cradles. And for all those guys out there with older charging cables and cradles that use the rectangular two prong connector for 12v and 110v, those work fine with the new cradle as well. So, in my humble opinion, if you have an old Stinger cradle and charging cable at home, get the a less expensive version and use your current chargers. I’m the type of person that opens crap up and looks inside. I had an old Stinger cradle. I ordered a stinger 2020 with the cradle (and micro usb). Once you remove the two Phillips screws on both of them, the boards are almost 100% identical. The only difference I could find was the integration of a micro USB port on the stinger 2020 version. Otherwise, the board is absolutely identical. And that’s when comparing it to a cradle from 10 years ago. With the right holster, you will be happy with this light. That’s coming from a picky salty sgt ha. I added a video of real world 0300 ish hours use in semi rural area that hopefully helps you guys out. This is not a thrower. This is absolutely ideal for patrol. Another update 6/20/23. Still super impressed with this light. I work Graves 12 hr shifts. This is my primary light throughout the shift, and a good majority of the area I work in is rural and dark. Even after a night of way above average use, I still have plenty of power on the medium setting. I charge the light after each shift since you just don’t know what the next nights demands will bring. If you have a light that you are always worrying about going dead 3/4 through your shift, that’s not happening with the sucker. Can always top off in the car, but I haven’t had to do it yet after several months of truly hard use. Another nice thing is the factory side grips (and rectangular shape on the rear end) make holding the light under your arm pit really easy. No slipping at all. I don’t normally write this many updates, but I have not found a fault with this light yet. This is coming from a guy who has very high expectations for lighting. It’s a winner! Hope this helps. Stay safe out there guys.

Used this light back when I was in law enforcement and for working on my vehicle. 10/10 nice battery length and brightness and easy to use. Sits nice between the cheek and shoulder so you can use your hands too. Only complaint which is common with all strong flashlights is that it can overheat just don’t have it against anything flammable but even then I doubt it would catch fire unless you kept it on for hours on top of the clothing. All stream light branding I typically love but this flashlight was a great buy for me

Great flashlight. Lasts me a whole shift. The lever to select brightness comes in handy. The light can get hot if you have it on the highest brightness for an extended period of time

I've had a Stinger LED for about 10 years and it's been a great reliable flashlight. I thought it's 425 lumens were awesome and loved it's beam. Didn't care for the way of changing the mode from low/med/high by holding the button down to switch modes though. In searching for a better light I happened on the Stinger 2020 (78101). 2000 lumens on high! 850 on medium and 100 on low. WAY BRIGHTER than my Stinger LED. Not only brighter but a much wider field of light projection. I ordered the model with the AC (electrical plug in) charger and the DC car charger. The new gray colored charger slowly flashes the red light when it's fully charged, stays solid red until then. My old black charger for my Stinger LED stays solid red, with no indication that it's fully charged. According to emails from Streamlight leaving either light on it's charger beyond it's full charge will not harm or shorten the life of the battery(s), but it's nice to know when it's fully charged with the new gray charger. Not sure if the DC charger flashes red when fully charged since I haven't tried it yet. I love the 2020"s manual switch that controls the power/brightness level. No awkward holding the button down to switch between high/med/low modes like the Stinger LED, just slide the switch on the 2020 to your desired brightness level. My only complaint of the 2020 is the power button on the front head is not very pronounced and takes a bit more effort to "click" on/off than the Stinger LED. I wish they had a different AC (electric) charging system than their "piggyback" charger. Not easy to insert the flashlight into or to get it out of the charger (same for the Stinger LED). There is the option to remove the batteries and charge them directly with the 2020 but too tedious for me and requires a different charging cord that was not standard. Anti roll with the squared off body of the 2020 is a plus over the LED's round body. The biggest most obvious difference is the overwhelming brightness of the 2020 over the LED. The LED puts out a good beam but the 2020 puts out the beam with broad area coverage, not really in the same category. 2020 bottom line: Super bright with beam and broad area coverage, easy power level control switch, flashing red light when charged with new gray charger, could be easier head power button. Also has a more responsive tail cap power button, although I find this less useful and more awkward to use than the head power button. 9/10

It’s pricy, but worth every penny! Best light I’ve ever had; good weight, battery life and durability.

my previous Streamlight Stinger LED lasted me 15 years (and counting) of daily use and abuse as a field mechanic. I anticipate this to last me another 15. It is smaller and lighter than its predecessor.

flashlight is very bright on high

Streamlight steht für sich. Innovatives Lade System. Konnte meine alte Station benutzen, einfach klasse. Accus könnten etwas mehr Volumen haben. Bei 2000 Lumen gehen sie recht schnell in die Knie. Würde sie aber wieder kaufen, da die Vorteile die Nachteile überwiegen.

Excelente producto recomendable
