LED and C4® LED

These compact, super-bright, rechargeable, lightweight personal lights are the most powerful lights ever made in their size. The machined aluminum housing that's anodized against corrosion and the unbreakable polycarbonate lens make the Stingers virtually indestructible.

Streamlight Takes LED Technology To A Whole New Level

Streamlight played a major role in adapting LED technology to portable lighting tools. Basic LEDs provide a number of significant advantages:

  • LEDs run much longer before the batteries need to be changed — up to 336 hours!
  • LEDs have an almost infinite life, more than 100,000 hours!
  • LEDs are virtually unbreakable since there is no glass or filament.
  • LEDs are available in colors that are specially designed for specific applications. The green LED, for example, is a favorite of outdoor enthusiasts because it doesn’t affect night vision, won’t spook wild game, and can be seen from far distances. The “cool” blue LED is a favorite among forensic investigators.

A downside to basic LED bulbs is that they’re not especially bright. But Streamlight has fixed that little problem.

C4® Technology Leaves Other LEDs In The Dark.

C4® LED TECHNOLOGY PUMPS UP THE BRIGHTNESS UP TO 3X MORE LIGHT INTENSITY.

Streamlight's C4 LED produces a brighter, more powerful, blinding light than any LED that’s come before. Our Streamlight-engineered reflector with C4 Photonic Crystal technology almost triples the brightness and creates an intense beam that pierces the darkness. So you get the long-run times and indestructibility of an LED with an increased level of brightness that leaves other LEDs in the dark.

C4 approximates the range and brightness of a xenon bulb

The Best Of Both Worlds

We’re the only company to offer the most effective LED/incandescent hybrid combination on the market, our Twin-Task® line and it’s patented of course! You can choose between a high-power xenon bulb and a long-lasting LED with the flick of a switch.

Streamlight also blazed new trails in the size and shape of LED flashlights. First, we created the Stylus®, which features a powerful LED bulb in a lightweight penlight. Then we put a flexible cable on the “pen,” making the Stylus Reach®, a very handy tool for investigators, bomb technicians, firearms instructors, auto mechanics, and anyone who needs to snake a light into tight locations.
