Hey guys, sorry for the noob question. I hope to be a resident expert one of these days myself
A cop buddy of mine had a Streamlite Stinger and is looking to replace it, but doesn’t have $100 to shell out. What would be comparable, as far as a budget light, to a Stinger?
IIRC the SL Stinger was popular with LEO partly because of the convenience of the charging dock. If that's what your friend is looking for then there really isn't a budget equivalent.
If he just wants a small bright tactical light minus the charging dock and is willing to use 18650, then there are dozens of good options under $60.
