Streamlight’s latest variant of the Stinger LED is the High Lumen (HL) model, and the new Stinger DS LED HL provides maximum illumination with its output of 640 lumens. The higher-capacity NiMH battery now comes standard with the HL model in all markets, and reduced output levels of 340 lumens and 170 lumens provide comparable output and runtime as the standard Stinger DS LED. As always, existing Stinger family batteries and chargers can be used with the new HL series.
