- Good Flashlight
- I use this flashlight each duty day, as a firefighter/medic. Clip is great, as it will suspend light vertically off of radio pocket. I just leave it on at night during operations. Batteries last forever (so to speak).

- Daylight brightness!
- I loved this led flashlight with daylight brightness. To turn it on, you push a button on the end of the handle that you can find in the dark. Bellieve it or not, I use it in my bedroom closet on dark mornings to make sure I'm getter the correct color matches.

- It failed within 4 months,,, don't count on it !
- A flashlight seems like a simple device and they are available in various qualities everywhere. I chose to pay 30+ dollars for a 10 LED flashlight that the reviews here would indicate was expensive but nearly indestructible and could be counted on in an emergency. I bought this Streamlight 3C LED flashlight to have available in emergency situation and it failed to operate properly in normal use within the first 4 months. After a couple months of non use I found the batteries to be dead. (the 3 C batteries were measured with a voltmeter and were at half their 1.5 full capacity voltage or less) (they were new and a solid 1.54 volts when they went in) It appears that either the electronics built into the 10 LED lamp assembly are defective or the switch on the end has a bad connection which never quite turns it all the way off.
Bottom line,,,,,,,,,,, I can not give this Streamlight Flashlight a good rating and took the time to come here and write this review so others can be aware that paying more doesn't necessarily get you more.
I'll be looking for a less expensive flashlight from a local store for something like this next time as it isn't worth my time to package and ship this off to the MFG and wonder if they will ever send me a replacement.
Life is too short,,, and in an emergency a light can mean your life!
**** Additional comments****
Streamlight "tech support" spontaneously responded to one of my many emails for support and sent me a new 3C flashlight to their credit. (I had written them I had given up and would buy a new light elsewhere) I was pleased! BUT,,,,,,,,,, I just went to use the new light that was fitted with new (voltage tested) batteries and placed in my toolkit, and you guessed it the batteries are dead and the light does not light. My guess is (now) there is some sort of defect in the 10 LED "bulb" component of the flashlight. As this is the identical problem as before it can be no coincidence and I would suspect that they may be aware of it but are still selling them, figuring 30+ dollars is too small an amount for anyone to hound them about. I won't be contacting them but once again took the time to write this so you won't waste your money on this particular light. - 2006-12-14, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Not Impressed
- I purchased both the Streamlight ProPolymer 3C and 4AA flashlights. The 4AA is rated at 27 lumens and the 4C is rated at 40 lumens. I have tried different sets of batteries in both flashlights but the 3C never puts out more light than the 4AA. The 4AA is smaller and fits better in the hand and since it is just as bright and costs much less I can not recommend the 3C but am happy with the 4AA. One curious note about the 4AA: it seems to put out the most light using rechargable batteries which are a lower voltage than the regular alkaline batteries.

- Great But.......
- This is a great light, however it's not as bright as the Streamlight 4 AA battery light. This 3 C Battery is more like a floodlight type. It IS brighter than regular flashlights! And naturally it's a bit heavier (due to the batteries) than the 4 AA light.
The button is great, a heavy rubber covering that's webbed to prevent sweat from having our fingers roll over it. There's a thick plastic clip that allows you to clip onto your belt or pants. And a ring comes with it ath you can slip through the top to put on a holder or such.
All in all this is a great light, but again if you want a pinpoint bright light go with the 4 AAA streamlight LED. - 2006-08-02, 8 of 8 people found this review helpful, Rated:
