One of the things I really like about the stingers is you just connect it to your charger and in a few hours it is ready to go. And I have had one of my stingers for over five years and have not had to replace the batteries yet.

On the one I own and Dale bought ,the batteries will last a good 20 to 30 inspections and it is only 3 C cells.

This flashlight uses Lithium Ion Batteries. I believe they typically last for about 1000 charges.

Bob now I'm not flat out saying that's impossible but I do have a hard time believing three C batteries would last that long.

My average inspection is approximately 3 hours and I use the flashlight the entire time shining it at ceilings, in the basement and attic. In fact I carry two ultra stingers because it's not uncommon for the first one to start to fade before I get into the attic.

So what was that flashlight you and Dale bought anyway? Don't make me dig back a few pages for it.

Ray o vac extreme.

Mine is used maybe 15 to 20 minutes tops but less in a Condo.

I use it for checking tape jobs on suspect walls,looking at caulk and grout lines in bathrooms,cabinets,Electrical panels primarily.

I do not just leave it on constantly, even in most attics as I need to see the light coming in and they usually have pull chain lights.

I am going to have to leave it on sometime and get exact ,but those bulbs last forever and they use far less juice.

Still the M21 sounds good ,though it would be nice to see in person.

If you're ever having a campfire this flashlight would be great if you forget your matches at home!! But for home inspections I don't know if my insurance company would cover me if my flashlight would start a home on fire.
