Streamlite Stylus Pro !

Styerman · **on:** May 01, 2008, 05:35:05 AM

Just bought one , I'm a big fan of pen lites . I use them lots for work , and even round the house . The Stylus pro has a well designed deep reflector , tuff build quality , and a nice flat - beadblasted finish . They come in 1 and 2 AAA versions - as opposed to the AAAA 's found in the earlier Stylus models .

I found the throw good for a pen lite , a good hot spot , and nice sidespill for tasks . Mine may be an isolated example , but I found the color rendering of the lite to very good . Worth checking out if you are an RN , EMT , or FF . An RN friend of mine pronounced it satisfactory for use as an examination lite .

Overall I'm pretty happy with it !

Some pics would be great

I still want to pick one up. They do look damn good.

Have i never put photo's up of mine? Whoops! They are great little lights, very handy and they fit in a Peli 1020 which is nice. Mine does have a slightly purple tint to it though (unless my eyes deceive me!)

I can't remember any?

Would be cool to see some though.

Glad to hear that you like the Stylus Pro, Chris.

I've had one for about six months and I really like it a lot. Amazing that Streamlight can make a light this good and sell it so inexpensively! Mine was about 18 bucks.

Hotrodding the Stylus Pro:

For those who enjoy tinkering, it is possble for the head of the Stylus Pro to be removed and replaced with the head from a Fenix 1AAA light, because the threads and body diameters match.

A head swap will produce a 2AAA penlight with three levels of output and strobe. The highest output will be something like 80 lumens IIRC - nearly four times that of a stock Stylus Pro and twice that of the stock Fenix 1AAA.

The AAA Fenix model that ringzero is referencing is the LOD, for anyone interested.

Thanks for the elaboration, NutSAK.

DUHHHH - can't believe I forgot to mention the relevant Fenix model.

I have an aquaintance who is a correctional officer . He has used one as a fistload on obstreperous inmates , it has held up fine . We are talking some pretty hard noggins and faceplates . I dont think I'll bother modding it , output is cool for my aplications . I may get one of the single AAA's for light summer wear . The price to quality , to performance ratio seems impressive .

This guy has an article that covers use of a Streamlight Stylus for self defense:
http://www.donrearic.com/nighttimecomp2.html

The article is based on the old Stylus, but the newer Stylus Pro seems like an even sturdier light.

If you were to use a Stylus Pro for self defense and did manage to break it, the cost of replacing it would probably seem insignifigant compared to other concerns from being attacked.

As the proud/sick owner of over a hundred flashlights the Stylus Pro gets my current top vote. It is my "go to" light these days. I EDC one at work with a Fenix L2D and I pull out the Stylus Pro for most jobs. I now only use the L2D when I need a lot of light or when I think it's feeling lonely because I haven't used it for a while! DON'T try and tell ME that flashights don't have feelings!

Def, I think we need to get the men in white coats to pay Calvin a visit.

I agree Calvin. Flashlights have feelings too.

What's your opinion of the Nanolight, nezza33?

Looks like it could be a great little keychain light for the money.

Yeah i like it it's ok puts out a nice amount of light for its size.
