So currently I've chosen to run two primary lights for duty use. I've chosen my 800 lumen Stinger as a car light, bag light, backup.
I've chosen the 1,000 lumen Protac HL-x as my primary belt light for the bat belt. Neither heat up and both have good run times with good light and throw.
I've been hearing about "stepdown" and I looked at the fact sheet for my Protac from Streamlight and the graph shows a significant step-down after 15 minutes! Looks to be almost half ...or from 1000 lumens to about 600 or 700 lumens.
The Stinger goes from 800 to a 600 lumen drop in 30 minutes!!
Why????
