Streamlight ultrastinger

I'll tell you this. my streamlight TL3 is just as bright and throws just as far as my surefire M3 and damn near as far as my M4! It's crazy.

TL-3 and M3 LO have similar bulb with almost same wattage.
M3 has option for higher output bulb with shorter run time and bulbs are shock proof with pre focused beam, TL-3 does not have HO bulb unless you go aftermarket 1499 or even 1794 with focusable beam.
M3 and M4 possible to bore out for 18mm rechargeable option but TL-3 can be used with 16 or 17mm batteries only.
Extension tubes available for M3, M4 to use more or longer cells but there is no such an option for TL-3 unless you go aftermarket body.

Yeah I would like to some tone get a normal stinger

Incand Stingers come with plastic lens and using higher output bulb is problematic.
Replacing the lens is also a pain.
When I offered 2x18650 Stinger kit, also offered Boro installed Stinger bezel/reflector.

Yes. But the standard output would be fine with me. It's hard to find specs on old lights but I presume somewhere around a mn10 or a little less but with better throw which is a nice amount of light

In the 2nd hand market Streamlight has always taken a back seat to SureFire concerning resale value. But to a flashaholic that means a great product can be had on a budget.

That is a good thing. I like paying normal retail prices for older Streamlights. Maglite and Surefire can go to the moon in prices.
