Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 78002 UltraStinger Flashlight with DC 12v Vehicle Charger and Holder, BlackCustomer Review: The Sun indeed has Competition!!! Summary: 5 Stars
As one reviewer said in another forum, the Sun has competition...
This Streamlight UltraStinger flashlight is so powerful that if you point it toward the Sun, it may cause a mass coronal ejection, which could cause a solar flare, so please use caution...
At night, I shined my light into a field, and immediately turned it off because I thought I had seen hibernating animals jumping around thinking the sun was out.
This light could potentially enable Astrophysicists to actually see "dark matter".
Recently, a SuperMassive Black Hole was discovered... OK, THAT'S ENOUGH... >;)
Seriously...
I purchased this flashlight because I work at night as a tractor trailer driver on a regular route, and I must conduct some of my operations (eg. switching, dropping, hooking, relaying, relying, lying (just kidding) etc.) in areas where there is limited lighting.
I am a little paranoid about driving a truck without doing a thorough pre-trip inspection, and I actually like to see what I am inspecting in the dark, so using this flashlight enables me to see things under the truck & trailer(s) that one normally couldn't see with an "Eveready".
There are some cases where it's necessary to "re-hook", or change seals or whathaveyou, and it's nice to be able to see whether it's necessary to do any of those things. It's easy to hold the flashlight just under the arm-pit without the pain that a Mag-lite would bring because it is thinner and much lighter (oopspun).
5th Wheel jaw-locking is ever so important on tractor/trailers, especially when you work in an industry that is not so well liked by "others". This flashlight enables me to check for "issues" that "other lights" could not possibly even think of illuminating.
It's also nice to know that I can use my light to check "the area" before doing my pre-trip inspections, and once or twice it has helped very well. Just knowing that I "know my surroundings in the dark with some power" is enough to "send 'em down the road" if ya catch my drift...
This flashlight is mainly used by professionals in certain thankless positions because of the intensity of the beam that is necessary to conduct operations that are necessary and vital to safety and if you are in those certain professions, this flashlight is highly recommended, but it can also be used for industrial positions, and this one I purchased certainly is for a good reason, and I intend to keep it for a long time to come.
