I doubt it will ever fail, but if it does, don't throw it. All those lights have warranty, you just send it in. I collect flashlights and I have amassed 13 streamlights over the years including an old incandescent one from the early 2000's that still works. The rubber button covers are the most common fail point (after years) and you can send it in for that or just buy the replacement kit. they are made to be serviced.
Sounds like you’re having fun with your new toy. I remember when MagLights came out. I was like you and thought they were crazy expensive and who would spend that much!! But after going through handfuls of junk, I still have some that work 30 years later.
i use stream light exclusively when i’m working on cars and i have put both of mine through the ringer and they still keep going. not only are they tough but stream lights warranty is amazing.
I still have my streamlight stinger that I got when I first started in law enforcement. It’s still going strong over 20 years later. Of course I’ve had to replace the battery a few times. But not as often as you’d think.
I love mine lol. I'm not going to say go drop it but I've dropped mine multiple times and still keeps working. Best feature I like is if I'm stuck in a tank I and the battery dies I just got to keep pushing the button ever few sec. Till I find the exit😂😂
To be honest, I had one a few years ago, because it seems all American law enforcement use them? And if you think they are expensive in the USA you should try buying one here in the UK? Well I was into torches/ Flashlight s so I as said got one and it was basically s*** ! OK I may have been unlucky but after the mission of sending it back to the seller I got a replacement about two months later and after about six months that one failed so I won't be getting any more Streamlight products! I do have SL20x and that's been good but that's old school halogen. I do hope you get good service from yours!
Dang that sucks man. I’ve used Streamlight products for over 20 years and they all still work. You’re correct, most law enforcement, fire, ems use these.
Police flash light. That's why....at horrific scenes, invisible entities drain the battery, but that's why you carry a spare to keep going....experience......
