in which you need a lot of light but not a really long reach, such as clearing a dark
room or searching an alley, illuminating an entire vehicle, or lighting a campsite.
Because they give off so much light, the HL series of lights provides more of a true
flood light effect, while still being small enough to fit in your pocket.
Q: A customer is interested in a certain flashlight, but how can we tell which beam
pattern (Tradition, HPL or HL) is the best for that customer’s use?
A: You are going to want to determine what environment the individual is going to be
using the light in the most and for what application. For example, is a general all-purpose
light for everyday use needed? You may want to consider a light in the Tradition series.
If they need to light an object from a distance, the HPL Series would be the best choice
in this instance. Or, if they need a flood-type beam without distance for lighting up a
room or large area, they should consider the HL Series.
Q: Are there differences in run time among the three different series?
A: There will be some differences, especially when comparing the Tradition series to the
other two. For the most part, the HPL and HL lights will have shorter regulated run times.
It is important to note that Streamlight uses “regulated run time” when stating our run
time specifications. This allows our users to be confident that our lights operate at a high
level throughout the stated run time, rather than the performance degrading over the
stated run time.
Q: Can you upgrade a flashlight into an HPL or HL?
A: Because of the electronics and technology involved, kits are not available to change a
light from one series to another, such as from a traditional LED to an HL or HPL.
