Streamlight Stinger LED Flashlight Overview & Comparison
In this video I discuss the different Streamlight Stinger LED variants that I have as well as my preferences on battery type, LED version, and dual switch preference.
Note: I am assuming in this video that most viewers are familiar with this type of flashlight and how it functions (ex: hold power button for high-med-low cascade; double-tap button for strobe effect)
[Versions Examined]
-Blue Stinger DS (dual-switch)
-Black Stinger HL (high-lumen)
-Black Stinger DS (with standard end cap installed)
[Recommendation: Dual Switch vs. Std. End Cap]
Dual Switch. Why? It grants the user an additional method to activate torch. Good for inspection in tight spots and cycling through hi-med-low brightness settings. Bam on...bam off.
[Energizer: Recommendation & Comments]
1. Li-Ion (Part No. 75176); Why #1? Light-weight; good charge/discharge life.
2. NiMH (Part No. 75375); Excellent light output; slightly lighter than NiCd; suffers performance decrease with age (around 1yr).
3. NiCd (Part No. 75175); Standard battery; suffers significant performance decrease with age (6+months in my experience)
[LED: High Lumen (HL) vs. Std. C4 LED?]
No preference. Just be aware that greater power comes at the cost of decreased battery life. I personally have no output complaints with the standard, smaller C4 LED.
Note: These flashlights carry a limited lifetime warranty (2-year). If you have any faults contact Streamlight or go see your particular tool truck dealer that sells Streamlight flashlights to carry out a warranty repair.
As always, please take care.

Great job on comparison. Great video thanks brother keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks
How do you change the lighbulb in stremlight C4 LED?
I have 2 older stinger flash lights with the xenon bulbs,is there a led retro kit for these? These are the best flashlights all round.
I need a up grade of the light bull for a streamlight stinger hp . Does any body know a part number or how to get it .
The reason the lithium ion feels so empty is because it is. They basically put a standard 18650 in their and wired it up their polarity ends. Had they filled that with 2 18650 cells the capacity would double
Update on these rechargeable batteries?
I have a c4 but can't replace the lens how do I remove it? Bought a new one just need to replace Thank u in advance

Hey Antonio, the lens/reflector housing is threaded -right-hand threads- so all you have to is to simply unscrew it. I believe this to be true for most Streamlight Stinger LED models. Examine the new part to make sure it matches and corroborates my prior statements. It may be quite right but nonetheless should be removable -- you may even have to get destructive and use pliers around the bezel to get it off. Best of luck.
I just repaired my stinger ds led with the new switch c4 chip and lens and it isn’t nearly as bright as my light was before. I’m extremely disappointed. Almost a waste of the 30 bucks. I’ll probably solder my old led in place using the new switch since that’s what broke
What is the number part for tail cap ?? Thank you
