The streamlight chargers stop charging the battery when the battery is fully charged. It will not damage the battery. You can leave it on the charger as long as you want.
This is the kind of information you get when someone reviews the competition.
Very true, but just make sure your charger is grey and not black and says "Smart Charger" on it. Black standard Streamlight chargers will burn out (I went through two) the charger board. Grey is the good one.
Im not law officer but I do need a bad ass light. My stinger 2020 stays on the charger all day. I only use it to do pretrip and post trip trips and check my load. I have the grey on and I’ve had it 9 months
I have gone through two 7060’s, three stingers (1 older stinger xt 2 stinger LED’s), and the surefire R1 lawman. Surefire is the only that has lasted as far as the light goes. The surefire is on its second charger and third battery. I am honestly not overly impressed with any of them. Surefire has been the only one that has lasted though, albeit with lots of batteries.
I am a sucker for streamlight. Their craftsmanship is top notch. I just picked up the Streamlight pro-tac. It's the perfect size for an everyday light.
Disagree, at least in my use it has been less than two years and my streamlight stinger HL cannot even last a full shift, absolute waste of money. I also have a friend who's rubber button fell off of the same flashlight about a month ago.
I have not found a streamlight product that will last either. Not impressed with any of their products.
@@CrpMag I can say I have had my LE 1+ for almost 6 months now and I love this flashlight! My streamlight barely lasted one shift, but the LE 1+ has lasted for almost three per charge. The holster is brilliant and the selective brightness level is fantastic! Very happy I ordered this light.
This is better. 100%
I am a volunteer firefighter and do Ems as well as being a reposessor I have carried a stream light for 15 years my first stinger is about 14 years old and still works like new I also have a stinger ds that’s about 9 years old I also have a sl20 flashlight by stream light in my truck best damm flashlight made hands down mine have never ever let me down.
Streamlight customer service is hit or miss. They have not been able to properly diagnose a problem with one of my stingers. This appears to be a common complaint with Streamlight, otherwise good flashlight.
@@charlesnoska2225 Streamlight, there C/S is as good as Surefire! I''ve delt with both for many years! I;m surprised they didn't give you a new light?
I own this light and it is fantastic in many ways and for many situations. I’m curious why you did not include the Nightstick 9614XL’s performance in your graphs. It seems like that light may have beaten the LE-1 in total output. I believe your product is superior in many ways but it would have been nice to have a total picture of how it compares to the competition.
Just got the LE1 plus it is a great light
Maglite is where it's at quality lights still made in the USA! Maglite has made strides with their LED lights and their tactical lights. I would like to see another review with a Maglite ML150LRS in the lineup please and thank you!
I personally love a big head
😆😆😆
Wow nice. I thought this was going to be an infomercial on a crappy light. I was wrong. What an amazing and well thought out design. I'm a believer
Is this available on Amazon? Can't seem to find it
Royal V. It’s on the website proper but you can check out with amazon.
Alpo apparently you like crappy flashlights with unrealistic lumen ratings and subpar construction.
Which one is the best for long range?
nickel metal hydride batteries arn't made to be drained so its actually good to leave the flashlight on the charger, also the streamlight piggy back fast charge has reduced amps feature so it cant over charge the battery and stops when its full. also most tech has built in voltage regulators to prevent the problem of over charging and it reduces the amps accordingly
You are correct on many counts! NiMH batteries should not be completely discharged. We also have a piggy back charger for testing that appropriately reduces the charging load, so it would okay to leave a light on such a charger. However the "standard" Streamlight charger that came with our unit doesn't regulate, so users should know that they shouldn't leave it on that "standard" charger, or certain chargers that don't regulate current.
This is a tremendously helpful video. Excellent. Thank you for posting. I carry the Streamlight DS HL. Previously I carried the DS 350 for years specifically Unarmed Security duty at GH.
I am looking forward to buying LE 1 plus
Every mechanic in my shop uses the stinger, myself included. Mechanics abuse these on a daily basis harder than any law enforcement could. We dont have a supple leather holster, we hurl the thing back at the toolbox, or have it fall off cars daily. Dropped it in buckets of coolant, oil diesel, you name it. They are *RUGGED*
Absolutely
I suggest you contact Tommy at Free Field Training and have him test out your light. I was pretty impressed with your demo, I’d like to see him test it and maybe advertise it to his rather large following base.
Great video, lots of good information! Thanks!
Why limit yourself to 1 switch. What if I want instant access to more than 1 mode?
To falsely limit the field to the typical ones and leave out the new (yet superior) to the market.
Ooooh ok, you are a flashlight company reviewing your flashlight against others, you will talk greatly about it of course
I use a Streamlight SL-20x old but in my army unit I wanted a good light, got it for ten bucks at swap meet. Got a LUXPro 280 Lm led light too, $14.00 at Lowes. Lowes has many good lights, go check em out always have sales fi u don't want to spend 100 bux on a light.
How is the warranty they ask all kinds of questions and try to disqualify you're light for repairs ? Or do they stand by the product like mag light
Things I care about, waterproof, power mode and low power consumption mode, lots of battery power, and most of all reliability!
I am sticking with Acebeam L19z
i like your own product very much...it sound well built and material too and has very cool accessories but unfortunately we cant buy it out of US.but anyway i appreciate your great product
Man maglite made there rechargeable flashlight easy and quick to get a charger
At forst, watching these comparions, i was excited about the flexibility of your tact.impluse le1+... That is until I went to ur website to buy it. The light does not come with a charger, really. I can see separately charging for accessories such as the traffic wand attachment, but the flashlight is useless without a charger... 140 for a flashlight, it should come with a charger. Not cool
Thanks for checking us out! We decided to offer a flashlight only option so customers with multiple LE-1 products, and/or customers with a quality 19650 charger won't be forced to pay the additional cost of a charger. A simple charger is available from us for only $9.99 when needed. HOWEVER, you can use the discount code 'ChargeMeUp' now through the end of Feb. to receive the external charger for free (just add the light and charger both to the cart)! Hope that helps!
HOW MANY HRS TO CHARGE MR. LIGHT
which is best
On the run time tests, did you factor in that many lights intentionally do a thermal step-down ON PURPOSE? Or doesn't that figure into your sales pitch?
You hit the nail on the head, and it seems like you answered your own question... WE don't do an intentional step down, but can't say the same for many others. That's why looking at the total output is important, not just the lumen value on the box.
A low i.q. not through irrelevant question. I own many nitecore lights and a few others (olight etc) and love the nightcore brand. I'll check these guys out too.
Whare can I buy the LE1 plus?
Whare can I buy the LE1?
I personally would prefer fenix tk20r v2
What kind of candela is your light putting out?
thanks for the info, very helpful the best i have seen
Notice to flashlight makers: we don’t need strobe, sos, or tons of settings. Just give us a high and low. All of these flashlights are too expensive.
Do any of these lights have a traffic control wand attachment?
I k ow the stinger has one.
The Tactical Impulse attachment is much better.
Streamlight ProTac HL-X
Pelican, is very responsive. tactical button on the rear, and notice the pelican was the only light that prevented the other lights from from rolling away.
The streamlight have an anti roll rubber covering at the front of the flashlight.
any of use 22650 battery
What is the warranty on the LE-1?
Limited Lifetime Warranty - You can see the details at: www.tacticalimpulse.com/warranty/
@@TacticalImpulseLLC I really like the way you adjust the light levels on this one plus of course the momentary option. Very well thought out!
great video. will there be any more of these?
Olight is far better
So are you guys still around? I’d like to buy one.
The website is still up. It's still a great flashlight. I use it as my house light now that I'm no longer working anymore(back in school).
why police dont want use c8 flashlight such as astrolux c8 or convoy c8... it more compact and have 1000+ lumens and throw of 500meter...
Wrong information relating to battery of NiMh vs Lithium. They both operate equally well at extreme heat and cold, NiMh does not have memory effect and you do not need to discharge cells. NiMh do have low self discharge chemistry in my cells. Voltage on NiMh is much more consistent then Lithium and don't show signs of "dying" with the light becoming more dim as you do with Lithium.
Wait I thought you said the criteria was 1 button?? Multiple lights with 2.. the hell.
Sorry for the confusion! We tried to explain that we didn't consider lights that required separate buttons for ON/OFF and mode selection. With the exception of the Lawman, all the 2-switch lights in this video are capable of ON/OFF and mode selection from either one of the identically functioning switches.
Pelican FTW
Pretty cool 😎
Very cool
am I missing something??? What was the rundown of the nightstick flashlight. I don't see it on the graph.
I wonder why Streamlight used an inferior Battery Technology for Duty/outdoor flashlight.
There are several different streamlight batteries.
Damn. That’s a well thought out product. Waterproof?
Yep. There's a video somewhere if it running underwater.
Does the light with the extender fit in holster?
Dj McCollister yes
Sold
EMT. 8 years. Had crappy Streamlights which never charged in the trucks(the prongs would never line up right). I bought my own LE-1+ not long after I started working nights exclusively. You won't break it. It's very practical from working wrecks on the side of the road, to finding patients, to marking egress with the traffic cone. Speaking of, the add-ons aren't gimmicky. They hold up and look professional.
Wouldn't buy another light. Don't recommend another light. If you need a light for work, don't hesitate.
stinger 2020
Why a cradle? I hate that
Candela is just as important as lumens maybe even more so.
hmm fenix and led lenser for me
I bought this flashlight and it cost me so much money and it didn’t come with what ever this guy is offering here in this video.
The flashlight needs more lumens and needs to be a white light because it is yellow.
The flashlight comes with very nice features but if I’m buying something that is expensive and it says that it comes with all this features I expect all this features.
in the end, a under $50 flashlight is far more brighter such as astrolux c8 1300lumens, convoy L2 3800lumens.. lol..
If you're going to do a comparison video don't talk more about one than the others. We want to know about all of them not mainly one..........
It really is the best. He's selling a product, but I've tried them, and this is the real deal.
NEED A REAR BUTTON REPLACEMENT ON MY FLASH LIGHT WITH NO RESPONSE ON YOUR BUSINESS PHONE DURING REGULAR HOURS
WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER YOUR FUCKING PHONE
I believe this company is gone.
But, the flashlight is actually manufactured by Dorcy.
Contact them and they will try to help you.
Mag lite ❤
Outdated. Cheap, but it makes a better club than flashlight.
you said “doodie”
