I keep a Fenix TK75 stashed away in my truck for emergencies. They are expensive lights, but worth every penny of it.

I've had several Fenix too. These are 1/4 the price and seem much brighter to me, they have 7 bulbs where the Fenix has 3. They are machined well with O rings and such.

Just a cheap alternative that I have never seen fail. Fenix is probably a better quality I would think.

I've always kept Streamlight Ultra Stingers. They must be underpowered at 120 lumens. I can't imagine 8500 lumens. My Coastal is only 240 lm... is this a "peak" type rating? it just doesn't seem possible..... just sayin....

I still keep a UltraStinger and a Stinger XTHP mounted in wall chargers in my house, probably been there at least ten years. The newer lights are just so much smaller and brighter it is amazing. I keep one Fenix PD35 in my truck console and one mounted on my AR. A PD32 UE stays on my desk, I keep an Eagtac T200C2 in my trailer. In a pinch my Streamlights would make fine whop sticks, remember the old Maglights we used to use!

I remember the Maglights, but the first was Kel-Light, originated by a cop in Cali. They had a model that took 7 D cells, I carried it around, all 2 feet of it!

I hear they are worth money now to collectors.

DF I don't know about the rating, I assume it's somewhat exaggerated. I do know I've never seen anything so bright. I bought two more today, there was a buy it now for 36.99.
