Streamlight® Strion LED HL
FlashlightDistributor.com describes the Strion LED
HL as “super-bright.” The numbers used
are 500 lumens and 10,000 candela. I
recently found out what these really mean.
One of the kids failed to let
the Min Pin back into the house in a timely manner. The poor dog thought we’d abandoned her and
found a way out of the yard in her efforts to find us. Some hours had gone by and it had gotten dark
before we noticed she was missing. There
were four of us out combing the alleys and backyards with every Streamlight® in
our possession. I had grabbed the Strion
LED HL, and I was so grateful for the 200-yard beam length. I think due to this light, and due to calling
the Min Pin’s name till the neighbors thought we’d lost our minds, we finally
found her huddled near the back steps of a house in the next block. Thanks, FlashlightDistributor. I will recommend the Strion LED HL to all my
friends. http://www.flashlightdistributor.com/Streamlight.aspx?Streamlight=74750

Streamlight® TLR-2 HL
When I got a new Glock 22, my wife bought me a
Streamlight® TLR-2 HL from FlashlightDistributor.com. She said the customer service rep agreed with
her that if I had to have a pistol for protection, I should also have a good
light on it. It certainly attached to
the Glock easily enough, and the C4 LED’s 12,000 candela are more than adequate
to sight an object at distance. I had
occasion to use it recently when I heard a disturbance in the backyard. What should my TLR-2 HL find far down the
fence line but a buck with quite a rack.
I had to let him go as the city frowns on firing a gun within its
borders. Only one problem, now I want
one for the Smith & Wesson. http://www.flashlightdistributor.com/Streamlight.aspx?Streamlight=69261

Streamlight® Buckmasters Trident
During deer season, I need a good headlamp with green LEDs
and plenty of beam distance. I ordered
the Streamlight® Buckmasters Trident headlamp from FlashlightDistributor.com. The white LEDs provide 4000 candela which is
great for getting to and from the truck with all my gear and with or without a
kill to carry. I can easily switch to
green LED light in the hide—and I still have 85 feet of beam distance for
spotting. I also like the strap over the
head; it makes the headlamp feel more secure whether I wear a hat or not—and
much less of a “vice grip” than headlamps without a vertical strap. I highly recommend the Trident. It has already helped get our venison for the
season. http://www.flashlightdistributor.com/Streamlight.aspx?Streamlight=61070

Streamlight® E-Flood LiteBox HL
During a trade show in Kansas
City , I stopped by FlashlightDistributor.com’s booth. The salesman there was very helpful and
explained the latest products they had from Streamlight. I asked about a good
light that would illuminate a dark basement during severe weather. That’s always a concern in this part of the
country. He showed me the new E-Flood
LiteBox HL. This light produces 3600
lumens of brightness, which he said would certainly light up my surroundings no
matter how dark it was. Then he showed
how the beam can be changed from a flood light to a spotlight that can light up
objects over 1000 feet away by turning a knob on the front of the light. He demonstrated the power of the spotlight by
pointing the focused beam at the ceiling of the showroom. Although the place was brightly lit with arc
lamps, I could see the light from the LiteBox’s C4 LEDs very plainly. I was convinced and bought one. Sure enough, the power went out just last
night. I set the LiteBox on the coffee
table and turned it on. There were no
complaints about the darkness after that.
Great light! http://www.flashlightdistributor.com/Streamlight.aspx?Streamlight=45660
