STREAMLIGHT® INC. ULTRASTINGER® LED features the latest in high-powered LED technology. The new light, which provides 1,100 lumens of light and 65,000 candela for a far-reaching beam, is the most powerful model in the Stinger® family. The new light offers three microprocessor-controlled, variable-intensity modes, including high, medium, and low, plus a strobe mode.

Powered by a five-cell, six-volt Ni-MH sub-C battery, the UltraStinger LED works with all existing Stinger chargers. The steady charger fully recharges the light in 10 hours on 100-, 120-, 230-, or 240-VAC or 12-VDC charge cords. A 2.5-hour fast charger also is available. www.streamlight.com, 800-523-7488
