I have two StreamLight Stingers, one was upgraded to LED the other is the LED DS. Awesome flashlights for working on cars.

revival of an old thread
I use this tiny one that I got at home cheapo for $5 that plugs into my cigg lighter in my car to recharge. It fits completely inside and I can close the cover, I find a use for it everyday almost. Than for real flashlight needs I use my trusty 3 d cell maglight. The maglight has been putting out for about 12 years. Upgraded to an LED it is fairly bright and crisp.

Nice! I like the looks of the new interface, especially the lockout.

Well since this thread is back from the dead, did anyone buy into the Kickstarter project "Hexbright" 500 lumen flashlight? It's funded and in final stages of production, can't wait to get mine!

The button on the bottom of my NiteCore D11 Cree XP-G R5 randomly stopped working. As in it won't press in. I didn't drop the flashlight or anything, it just sat on my counter for a while then I tried using it last night and it won't click. The thing is practically new too! Any ideas? No amount of force will work..

Open it up. The button is a piston. You should be able to open it up and slide the piston out to see what is making it bind. Did you switch to a new battery? Different batteries have slightly different dimensions.
