Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 85010 Scorpion LED Flashlight
Customer Review: You get what you pay for
Summary: 3 Stars
This is not to be called tactical. It uses lumileds instead of Luxeon or Cree which produces more bright light with the same level of battery power. Its bright but the beam doesn't project any further than 50 feet. I would suggest gettig a fenix P3D CE or Inova T series. Those are infact to be called tactical/police flashlight.Customer Review: 42 lumens is WEAK
Summary: 2 Stars
Maybe a few years ago this was a good idea.
42 lumens is the LED manufacturer's spec for a 1-watt LED. This flashlight probably doesn't even put out 42 lumens, they are just pasting in the LED specification (which doesn't account for light loss due to reflectors, etc.). In reality, this is probably about 30 lumens.
If you really need a good flashlight for "professional" use, pay more for a Surefire G2. It's twice as bright, and they publish accurate light output numbers based on end-product testing.
If you just want a flashlight for occasional use and don't need anything brighter, there are currently a lot of other 1-watt flashlights which run off of 1 or 2 AA batteries. Lithium batteries are great when power consumption needs them, but this isn't the kind of light that needs it.
Customer Review: Misnamed
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this product after searching on Amazon for black lights to detect scorpians. It is a led light but NOT a black light that I was looking to buy. Being named "Scorpion" and being under a search for black lights is deceiving because it is NOT a black light. I am disappointed
in the advertising for this product. I am still searching for a "Black
Light" flashlight.
