Streamlight 'AD'

[aznsx]

Cool little 1-min video SL linked on their home page for their anniversary that some might find interesting (or informative). Same as my 50th anniversary! That's the year I started my first job as an electronics industry technical professional (although not for SL). My gosh time flies when viewed in the rear view mirror, but seemed an eternity lookin' out the windshield!

Neat, wonder if they'll do something interesting. Happy anniversary to you too.

Topical question: If anyone has a Streamlight SL-15X drop me a line. It was a less successful bridge between the SL-15 and SL-20XP.

The first Streamlight product was a 5 million candle power light to mimic the sun for Apollo projects in 1973. The first consumer product was a 1 nillion candle
"Streamlite" search and rescue light with a shoulder stap for the battery that was about the size of a riding lawnmower battery.
It was very popular with boaters who had enough loot to buy a $99 flashlight powered by a $399 battery.
I believe it was named SL1 iirc.

Looks like a bad dog light in its day! I sure couldn't have afforded one on my first job pay, either!
