They make a kit with a piggyback battery/light charger. Solves the battery charge issues.

[@Steve-Goff]

- I just don’t understand why companies want to use proprietary batteries. You could easily keep a couple extra 18650 batteries in your car and swap out as needed

[@peterchaleckijr]

@@Steve-Goff Ive had my series one strion with the same battery for 14 years and absolutely no issues or need for replacement. I run the piggyback so I always have a spare charged battery, nonetheless these batteries are prevalent its kind of a non issue, amazon, battery junction and many other vendors carry these fantastic rechargeable batteries.

[@InSightFreedom]

Streamlight and Surefire are my go to lights if I have the money to justify. I like the switch for levels instead of having to fumble through cycling the on off button.

[@Steve-Goff]

- I have some older Surefires but they’ve gotten too pricey for me. They do make great stuff though.

[@InSightFreedom]

@@Steve-Goffagree.

I’m a pipefitter and have had a strion since 2010. It is an outstanding flashlight and I have sent it back to streamlight for warranty work which was outstanding as well. I just got the strion 2020 this week and it is a great light. However I am having a few issues with the low medium high switch. It is a bit longer than the original as well. So far I am impressed

[@Steve-Goff]

- what kind of issues are you having with the switch.

[@parts7959]

@@Steve-Goff it worked great at first but a couple days in, it started getting hard to adjust it. I might have got some grinding dust in there because I work with metal all day.

[@Steve-Goff]

- maybe it’ll work itself out with use. If not, I’m sure Streamlight will take care of the issue.

[@parts7959]

@@Steve-Goff yes , streamlight warranty service is great

[@336W]

Sounds like you need to use the HL or ProTac series. Dual fuel. Can take the streamlight proprietaries, 18650s, or CR123s.

[@Steve-Goff]

- I’ve had a ton of streamlights over the years. I still have the HL-5X and ProTac 90. Love them

[@336W]

Using a small magnet[Amazon] in the center of the ring you can charge these in a normal 18650 charger. Streamlight needs to get into the 21st century and run 21700 5000mAh batteries.

[@Steve-Goff]

Some of these batteries are putting the positive and negative on the same end so you can’t use a traditional bay charger

[@gravy9322]

Amazing vid man thank you!

[@Steve-Goff]

- it’s a very solid light. The proprietary battery is a bummer because I already have about sixty 18650 batteries

[@gravy9322]

@@Steve-Goff yeah I agree. Also no pocket clip. I just picked up the surefire edc2-dft in grey and I love it. (Different application of light I understand but still)

[@edwardfitzpatrick9363]

I like the light output but I think the switch might fail over time. I do have 4 strions and never had a battery go bad as of yet over the years.

[@Steve-Goff]

- I’ve already heard of someone having one for work (utility company). Some type of debris got down in the switch and he couldn’t go between the outputs

[@24sevvin]

This or the Stinger 2020?

[@Steve-Goff]

- I would pick the Stinger 2020. The beam is more useable IMO and the switch feels more robust. I’ve heard lots of complaints about the Strion 2020 switch getting stuck if debris gets in it

[@ohioedcgear]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Steve-Goff]

- 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MarkGrago]

Your presentation and review were impeccable, Mr. Goff; however, given that there are MUCH BETTER lights out there in this size and caliber, I would pass on making this purchase. I'm just not confident enough.

[@Steve-Goff]

- I completely agree. Definitely not trying to sell it to anybody. Just giving specs and my opinion. I do like the user interface and ease of use but there are a ton of better options for way less

[@michaell1603]

There’s really not “much better” out there. While Streamlight and surefire are both expensive and behind the curve on technology updates and lumens, they’re at the top in terms of Made In USA and reliability. I used to think the same thing, just buy any of the top 10 made in China brands. But they aren’t the same. In a life or death scenario, I’d pick Streamlight or surefire. They’ve been proven for decades in military and law enforcement environments.

[@MaxRothFitness]

Can someone explain why anyone would by this over the Striker? It seems the striker is better in evert category

[@Steve-Goff]

- I’m not familiar with the Striker. I have a Stinger 2020 and I like it much better than the Strion. I also have a ProTac HL 5-X which is probably my favorite Streamlight

[@Cornpop8]

They sell and offer a cradle with a side extra battery charger….

[@Steve-Goff]

- thanks for the info. I still wish it wasn’t a proprietary battery
