Streamlight 4AA

After two years of use it still shines bright. I liked this model so much that I own two of them, one for the house and one for the glovebox.



There are seven LEDs in this light that produce a intense short beam. This is very useful for doing tasks that are close. I know from personal experience that I do not recommend using this light to look for your missing elderly dog at night. This light just does not have the casting power as that of a precious maglite.

For its item, it's size and power source can't be beat. The local fire fighters all use this flash light too. They have an attachment on their helmet that allows this to be strapped on. The Streamlight is made to be water resistant, though it may as well be waterproof. It also has been rated for use in hazardous locations.


Here is the spot light from about 5 feet away, cast on the bathroom wall. The beam is very even and bright due to the use of a back reflector. This light suffers from the purple / blue tint associated with the superbright 5mm LEDs.

Warning: lithium batteries seem to over volt this flash light and unless changes have been made. The use of these batteries will destroy the LEDs inside.
