2009 Streamlight Twin-Task 2D

[john2551]

I'm curious if Streamlight has "updated" the LEDs with whiter, brighter, more modern ones in the last 5 years? Has anyone bought one lately? They do have a nice video of it on their website & the LEDs look very white now & don't look blue-ish like they did in the original flashlightreviews.com review from 5+ years ago.

I did a little more research & found out that SL used to claim:
• 43 lumens, 10 LEDs
• 21 lumens, 5 LEDs

now they claim:
• 79 lumens, 10 LEDs
• 48 lumens, 5 LEDs

With 10 newer leds putting out 79 lumens, it makes the 22 lumen incan seem fairly redundant. 25% of the output, and probably significantly greater current drain.
