Streamlight 85010 Scorpion LED Flashlight

Streamlight 85010 Scorpion LED Flashlight Thanks to its super-high-flux Luxeon LED bulb, Streamlight’s Scorpion is one of the brightest flashlights out there for its size and weight: It’s rated at a blinding 47 lumens, yet it only weighs 5.3 ounces with batteries. The body is made of durable machined aluminum and features a rubber-armored sleeve for a sure, comfortable grip. O-rings keep the moisture out, and a polycarbonate lens (with scratch resistant coating) protects the LED. A convenient tail-cap switch lets you turn the light on and off without having to switch from an over- to underhanded grip.

The Scorpion runs on two three-volt lithium batteries (included), which will give you up to 1.75 hours of run time, with another couple of hours at reduced illumination. If you think it will be a while before you work through those four hours, you’ll be relieved to know that the batteries have a 10-year shelf life-in other words, this flashlight will be ready when you need it.–Josh Dettweiler

Customer Review: Super Bright, Reliable and Compact
I have evaluated lots of different flashlights including Maglite, Surefire, LEDs, etc. Flashlight technology has advanced from bright Krypton bulbs to brighter Halogen bulbs to super bright Xenon bulbs. The LEDs (light emitting diodes) are energy saving but produce a bluish white cast rather than an incandescent white. The Scorpion flashlight is the best buy among the bunch. It is reasonably priced. The replacement Xenon bulb is not expensive whereas the Surefire replacement bulb is an expensive entire reflector unit. The Scorpion comes with a spare Xenon bulb located underneath its reflector head. These tactical flashights use two 3 volt Lithium batteries. The batteries (type 123) are somewhat costly and last only about an hour continuously on. The good thing about Lithium batteries is that they have a long shelf life. The old Maglites were large and heavy enough to bludgeon an assailant with. The newer tactical flashlights such as the Scorpions are small, lightweight, dependable, super bright and pocket size.

Shop around for the best price. It can be purchased for as low as about $30 Streamlight Scorpion 2-Lithium Xenon Flashlight, Black #85001
