“The new Stinger and Strion HPLs function as high-lumen lights, yet deliver a blinding ‘hotspot’ for more light on a target at a distance,” said Streamlight president and chief executive officer Ray Sharrah. “For example, other downrange beam patterns might illuminate a target’s head and shoulders, but the HPL beam lights up the target’s entire upper torso at a distance, providing a clear tactical advantage.”
The new models offer three microprocessor-controlled, variable intensity modes – high, medium, and low – plus a strobe function. On the high setting, the Stinger models feature 740 lumens and 48,000 candela with a one-hour and 15-minute run time and a beam distance of 438 meters. On low, the lights feature 190 lumens, 12,000 candela, a run time of 4 hours and 30 minutes, and a 219-meter beam distance.
On high, the Strion HPL delivers 615 lumens and 40,000 candela, with a one-hour run time and a 400-meter beam distance. On low, it offers 160 lumens, 10,000 candela, a run time of 3 hours and 45 minutes and a beam distance of 200 meters.
The new lights feature the latest in C4 LED technology and a deep-dish parabolic reflector that produces a long-range beam with optimal peripheral navigation. The Stinger HPL models are powered by a 3-cell, 3.6 Volt Ni-MH sub-C battery, while the Strion HPL is powered by a lithium ion battery. Both batteries are rechargeable up to 1,000 times. All the new lights fit existing model chargers.
The Stinger HPL and the Strion HPL both feature a multi-function, push-button switch for one-handed operation of the light’s momentary, variable intensity or strobe modes. The Stinger DS HPL includes a second, easy- to- access, push-button tactical tail switch that is independently operated.
