And many major auto parts stores, such as Napa, Carquest, etc... as the Streamlights are a favorite of Auto Mechanics as well. When they first became popular, Snap-On sold them for around $250.00!

Does anyone else have a problem with the bulb coming unplugged?

I bought two flashlights and have the same problem with both. Every time I try to use it the bulb is floating around in the glass and I have to take it apart and plug it back in.

Thanks Jeff, I needed a new battery for mine. Now I know they cost $27.
Used mine four times on Inspections and it won't charge anymore.

I have owned total of 4 in the last 6 years, and still have 3 in use to this day. Have never had any issues. Only replaced 2 bulbs, and 0 batteries. Just lucky I guess!

*Note: I will say the 12v vehicle fast chargers do not give as "deep" a charge as the home chargers. Mine always hit the home charger at the end of the day. Only use the vehicle chargers between inspections when I have multiple same day inspections.

Go with the Terralux LED conversion. Never need to replace the bulb again and the battery will last much longer. I have it on my stinger HP and will be buying for the ultra too.

Chuck, how well are the LED replacements with distance? That has been the problem with the LED's, they diffuse over distance.

Really good with the modern high powered LEDs. I decided to upgrade after one of my termite inspectors had one of the newer Poly Stinger LEDs and it outshown my incandescent Ultra Stinger across a crawlspace. I haven't upgraded my Ultra Stinger yet, but I'm very happy with the upgrade I put in my Stinger HP.

BTW: The LED light color works much better better than incandescent for augmenting the camera flash at long distance.

I have 3, replaced two bulbs in 4 years. Bought them from the local police chief for $6 I think.
