brightest spot in the focused beam, and takes into account both the output of the lamp
(lumens) and the efficiency of the reflector.
If you often find yourself needing light down-range, such as in search and rescue
operations, checking utility lines, or even rifle shooting, you may prefer the HPL lights.
These will give you the long-range lighting you need, with a more focused beam for
greater distances.
Q: Are there ever times you wouldn’t want a high lumen flashlight from the HL or
HPL series?
A: It depends on how you plan to use the light. A HL flashlight is good for providing
maximum illumination, such as lighting up an entire room or vehicle, or using it to help
light a scene. An HPL flashlight is good for helping with identification at a distance.
However, if you’re looking for a light that can be used on an everyday basis, either as a
standard duty light or to use in general contracting, you may find that you prefer a light
with a lower lumen rating and a more focused beam.
In addition, high lumen flashlights, while bright, usually have a shorter regulated run time
than other flashlights offered. If you are looking for a light to use during a work shift, or
when you want a longer run time, a high lumen light may not fit your needs.
Also, lights with lower lumen ratings may be preferred for “up close” work where seeing
details is important. For instance, those in the automotive and aviation industries may
conduct a lot of “up close” work and extreme brightness may not be the most appropriate
match for their applications.
Q: How are Streamlight’s different beam patterns (Tradition line of LED lights, HPL
and HL series) different?
A: Streamlight is committed to offering the broadest line of professional portable lighting
tools. These three beam pattern series were developed because each offers a different
balance of features and are meant for different applications.
 Tradition line of LED lights [Stinger
®
LED, Strion
®
LED, TLR-1
®
(s), TLR-2
®
(s)]:
This family of flashlights provides a strong balance between lumens and candela.
Lights in this line will also provide the best value, as they are designed for the
broadest range of lighting applications, such as lights for day-to-day use, for general
contractors, or for use as a duty light in law enforcement.
In addition, the lights in this series usually offer the longest regulated run times,
allowing you to use the light longer before recharging or replacing batteries. If cost is
a factor in selecting a light, this series will also have a lower starting price point
compared to the other two series.
While these are lights you may have seen before, Streamlight is introducing new
technology to this line to increase each light’s performance.
 HPL Series (Stinger
®
HPL™, Strion
®
HPL™, TLR-1
®
HPL™): These High
Performance, High Lumen (HPL) lights may have comparable lumens to those in the
HL line of lights, but they were designed to deliver long-range lighting, as they
provide users with more candela (peak beam intensity). They also give a bigger
hotspot, which means more light on your target at a distance.
These flashlights are good to use whenever you need a light downrange, such as
during search and rescue operations or when checking utility lines from the ground.
The HPL lights are similar to our previous HP series, but we have introduced new
technology to provide the user with the beam distance of the HP lights with an
enhanced lumen output.
 HL Series: When you need maximum illumination, these lights give you the most
lumens with a good level of candela. Lights in this series are perfect for applications
