The following lights must be returned to the Factory for service:
Streamlight lighting tools are available in a wide variety of applications, but typically, there is no one light that works well in all situations. Flashlight choice depends on intended use. You need to consider your applications and how you will be using the light to select the light that's best for your specific needs.
We have a few tools to help you make the selection:
Streamlight understands the need to see and be seen when you’re outdoors; whether you’re camping or tracking game. Green LEDs provide you with a bright green light that won't spook game or hinder your night vision, making them ideal for outdoor adventures. They are also bright enough to light your way and alert other hunters to your presence.
Streamlight offers a variety of lights with safety-green LEDs, including the ClipMate®, the Stylus®, Buckmasters® Stylus Pro® the Key-Mate®, the Buckmasters® PackMate®, and the Trident® with a single green LED or the Buckmasters® Trident® with three of them.
In addition, Streamlight has incorporated green LED and laser technology into our tactical weapon-mounted lights. The TLR-1® Game Spotter® has a green LED with an intense hot-spot for long-range identification. And if you’re looking for a rail-mounted light with a green aiming laser, we have the TLR-2® G and the TLR-4® G.
While most people assume that the term “C4” refers to the LED itself, it is actually Streamlight’s shorthand for a powerful combination of technologies. This includes the photonic crystal and thin film chip technology that enhance LED efficiency, Streamlight’s high quality reflectors which help focus and intensify the light, and expert Streamlight engineering design, which drives the operation of the light in such a way that maximizes the overall effectiveness of the LED chip.
Note that while you may still see C4® LED, we are moving away from using it on our packages and materials. One reason for this is because of the confusion of what C4® LED means to our customers. Be assured, however, that we are still committed to providing you the best LED technology backed by Streamlight-engineered reflector technology and expert design know-how.
Research has shown that the "memory effect" is a rare phenomenon and is almost nonexistent in high-drain applications such as flashlights.
Some tips to help prolong the life of NiCd batteries:
The SL20XP/LEDs originally were shipped with a gray charger and that was the only charger that will work. The gray charger has an LED charge indicator since there are no LEDs on the switch housing. The flashlight's switch housing is made of black opaque plastic.
The current version uses the old (black) charger. The new ones have a translucent dark red switch housing that glows when in the charger. These work with either grey or black chargers and are shipped with black chargers.
The following two models are designed for the consumer and will not damage eyes:
The other models, listed below, are designed for Professional Law Enforcement and Military Use.
Some Glock® .40 caliber pistols, models 22 and 23, exhibit feeding malfunctions, either nose down or nose up (stovepipe), when used with tactical lights. The problems tend to occur with individual guns, with some pistols becoming totally unreliable while other identical, even close in serial number sequence, guns have no problems. Most models 22 and 23 are reliable.
A sensitive gun may malfunction with any tactical light - the TLRs, the older M models, and even Glock® own brand. There is evidence that the problem sometimes develops with use, and may progress until the pistol is unreliable even with no light attached.
On the basis of testing by Streamlight, we believe the problem is magazine related. It appears that the rounds are unable to rise fast enough for proper cycling. We have observed proper feeding for the first few rounds, consistent failures at mid-magazine capacity, and a return to proper feeding of the last few cartridges in the magazine.
We have tried both stronger and weaker recoil springs, and compound-action recoil buffers, all without success. Sometimes new magazine springs, either new Glock® or Wolff, will cure the problem. In one case of a pistol which was totally reliable when new but progressed to malfunctioning on every magazine, even with no light installed, we found two solutions which restored reliability, but which might not be acceptable to some users. The first was using 10 round capacity Glock® magazines. The gun will not cycle reliably with 15 round mags with their steeply stacked columns but works flawlessly with 10 round mags. The second solution was a new magazine follower from Brownells®, their part number 069-000-006. When used in a 15 round magazine with a new spring, reliability was restored. However, the follower would not lock the slide open after the last round.
Ammunition is also a factor with any weapon. Some brands and weights may be totally reliable while others jam repeatedly. Make sure your gun is thoroughly tested with your duty ammo.
We do not recommend carry of a TLR equipped firearm without a proper holster. A proper holster should fully cover the trigger guard area, preventing accidental discharge of both the firearm and light.
Yes. Please note that the battery pack determines which safety approval ratings apply. The rating information is molded on the body. Any Survivor® LEDs that were made without the rating information ARE NOT APPROVED. Any Survivor® LEDs that were made without the rating information CANNOT BE UPDATED. The rating DEPENDS on the BATTERY that is installed.
The ratings are:
Temp. Code: T4 1 – With the ALKALINE AA pack, ALL ratings apply. 2 – With the BLUE rechargeable pack 90130, ALL ratings apply. 3 – With the BLACK Div 2 pack 90338, ONLY the Class I Div 2, Class II Div 2, and the Class III ratings apply.
This means the SAME LIGHT can be EITHER a Div 1 (and 2) OR a Div 2-ONLY depending on what battery pack is used. There is NO WAY to tell whether a Survivor LED is Div 1 or Div 2 – ONLY EXCEPT by looking at the battery pack.
ATEX (European) rating information is contained on a label on the body. II 1G Ex ia IIB T4 – when used with four 1.5V Size AA Duracell MN1500 Alkaline batteries ONLY. (Zones 0 and 1) II 2G Ex e ib IIB T4 – when used with Streamlight rechargeable battery 90130. (Zone 1) This means the SAME LIGHT can be EITHER Zone 0 or Zone 1 depending on what battery pack is used.
