76811 PolyStinger DS 485-Lumen LED Flashlight with 120-Volt AC Charger, Black

I carried one with me for 15 years of night shift. The dual switch is extremely beneficial for many different situations and was a must! I like the poly construction of the flashlight better for when I had to set it on a hood or something. I also really like the shape of the head that minimizes it from rolling when there’s a slight angle on the surface you set it down. It is also super bright!

Very bright light. Maintains charge a long time. The light gets pretty hot with extended use.

Where I work I have been using the standard Polystinger daily for about the last 6 years. It is a harsh industrial environment and the Polystinger is the flashlight of choice for almost all the 60 employees. Mine turned up missing one day so I decided to try the LED version as a replacement. The brightness and battery life are absolutely incredible compared to the original stinger. Light: Comparing it side by side to the Xenon polystinger, the light appears to be about 30% brighter plus it a very white light as opposed to the Xenon's yellow tint. The three levels of brightness are a nice plus - especially when you are doing close work where the full power can be too much. The light is a fixed focus with a very bright center and much dimmer surrounding cone. It cannot be adjusted from flood to spot like the Xenon version. The light is much cooler and I do not thing it will dis-color or melt the lens like the Xenon units do. Battery: I typically got about 45 minutes of on and off use from the Xenon unit. I have used the LED stinger for over 1.5 hours on the medium and bright levels without it going dead. When working in electrical cabinets I can turn it to the medium or low power level and leave it on without worrying about it dying in the middle of a job. I have yet to run the light completely dead. Construction: Very similar to the Xenon unit. The lens on the LED unit can be replaced without special tools - the Xenon require a lens extractor. The second switch at the back of the unit is a nice plus and will come in handy when the primary switch fails - I typically had to replace my switch annually when it would get too gummed up with dust to function anymore. The back switch does increase the diameter of the flashlight so if you already have a ring type holster for a stinger it may not work with this unit. I have seen Xenon stingers dropped from over 70 feet, dropped into tanks of water and oil and left outside in the weather for weeks at a time and the worst damage required a bulb, lens or switch replacement. I expect this unit to be just a durable.

Nice size, it fits on my duty belt with a holster, without taking up so much room. This flashlight is rechargeable. The battery life is amazing, i have only had to charge my two ten times and I have had them for two years now. It lights complete dark rooms. It has a top and rear button depending on how you want to use it. This is a must have, buy two. Always remember three lights is two, two is one and one is none. Stay prepared! Also do not mind the poly material, its durable in the rain, sleet or snow, weather does not bother this lights performance either. I have dropped my light multiple times, it is still as dependable as my firearm.

Great flashlight, bright and durable. The strobe feature is awsome. The only downside to this flashlight is that you have to hold down the power button to switch to the lower light settings and it takes rather long. Its not metal light the other stingers, dropped it many times and no damage.

This is the best flashlight I have ever used. I am a volunteer fire fighter and this thing works great. The strobe also is a great feature for me while I am at car crashes for traffic control. I got the AC/DC charger I leave one at home and one in my truck. I had the flashlight plugged into my truck for 3 days without starting to see if it would drain the battery, and I had no problems at all it started right up. I know to pay over a 100 for a flashlight,but after I bought mine I would recommend it to everybody it is well worth the money. Also the lens does not get hot like the other regular stingers and will not melt the lens.

We have a company that uses trained search dogs to find missing pets, and we have three of these flashlights for night work. The dog handler and the second person, the flanker, always carry one of these. We give the third to the clients who go walking with us. They are always shocked at what a great light it is, and how wimpy the light they bring along looks in comparison. The Streamlight 76810 is a very good light. It throws an amazingly bright beam, and throws it a long, long way. They have an excellent battery charge life, and we haven't had a single problem with any of them ever. It's not a large flashlight compared to say, a Maglite, but you'd never know it from the light it puts out. Are there other good LED flashlights on the market, I'm sure there are, but you can buy this one and be assured of having one of the very best.

I’ve had an older version of this lightweight flashlight , but unfortunately i dropped it in water for several hours and couldn’t get it to work again. I’ve owned it for about 18 years. Love this for working on cats, or a quick check on anything. Can’t say enough on how much I enjoy this product. I bought my daughter one too

Great product for both home and work.
