I did receive a brand new Inova T4 recently. A couple of night ago I was comparing the new Inova T4 to my Pelican 7060. I think from my perspective, the Inova T4 may out perform the 7060. As I was snooping around here a bit I ran across
http://www.led-resource.com/2011/02/rechargeable-led-flashlight-reviews-and-comparison/ . At that site, like the title states, they do a rechargeable LED flashlight reviews and comparison. The chart points out that all three of those lights are very similar. The main differences I have found are:
-Inova is Cree XP-G, but the other two are Cree XR-E.
-Pelican 7060 is single mode only.
-Inova T4 has the highest listed output at 227 lumens.
-Inova T4 has the longest run time on high. It also has the longest run time on lowest setting.
-Streamlight Stinger still uses 3.6 V NiCd, but the other two use 3.7V Li-Ion.
-The Inova lists 500 cycles, but the Streamlight Stinger lists 1000. The chart doesn't show the number of cycles for the Inova, but I suspect it is similar to the Pelican at 500.
-The Stinger is the longest at 8.85 inches. The Pelican is in the middle at 8.65 inches. The Inova is a mere 8 inches.
-The weights is very close. The Stinger is the heaviest at 12.8 oz., Pelican is in the middle at 10.5 oz., and the Inova 9.07 oz.
-The longest charge time is the Pelican at 4-5 hours, the Inova shows 3 hours, and the Streamlight Stinger 2.5 hours. I will have to double check this, but I think that would be for the fast charger. I seem to recall that the slow charger takes considerably longer.
-Only the Inova has a glass lens.
-The body material varies from light to light. The Pelican is polymer with an aluminum heat sink. The Inova is type III anodized aluminum.
-The Pelican has head and tail switches. I think the Stinger can be purchased with single or dual switches. The Inova has just a switch on the head.
-Both the Pelican and Streamlight have lifetime warranties. The Inova has a 3 year warranty.
-Pricing is similar on all of these.
I point these differences out because I have a law enforcement background and I am on some forums where the topic of lights comes up from time to time. Knowing what I know now from my experiences with all of these and the above comparison, it will be a bit easier to recommend a light based on what features the user thinks is most important. As similar as these lights are to one another, they are certainly not identical. For example, if having a tail switch is critical, forget the Inova. If having a strobe is critical, forget the Pelican. If having a li-ion battery is critical, forget the Streamlight Stinger.
