Well made, and excellent for dog walks at night, Jun 12 2010

I own two of these flip lenses, one for each of my two Stinger flashlights. I've used one of them for over five years and have never had any issues with the quality of the product, so I recently bought a second one for my newer Stinger. The lenses easily slide on to the front of a Stinger, and I haven't noticed any wear on the flashlights themselves on the rare occasion that I've removed one of them.
Functionaly, I love it. The lens doesn't affect the overall length of the flashlight much, and the red lighting is great when I walk with my dog Niki at night. The red helps me recover my vision after turning off the light much quicker than if I use the light without it. Also, I find that the beam of the light is almost unnoticeable when using a red filter, so the only things that I see lit up are what I have the light pointed at (when using the light without the filter, I can easily see the beam in the air). The filter does make the light less bright since it's only letting part of the spectrum through, but it's generally quite sufficient because the Stinger is very bright to begin with. It's easier on my eyes, and it's easier for me to keep a bright light from getting in Niki's eyes. When I want a brighter light, I can easily flip up the lens with my thumb to move the red filter out of the way. The lens closes easily, too, and has an audible snap when it closes properly.
I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a red filter for their Stinger.

This fit like a glove on the Streamlight Stinger DS LED light, makes for the perfect light setting when working at night. Highly recommended for anyone that uses their flashlight on patrol, one finger flick and the lens is off and spring loaded to keep it off.

I bought this item to hunt with, It seems to fit well and I have used it several times since it arrived. It is on a Stinger DS LED. The light out put will be limited to about 50 yards, but i knew that before buying. This product has worked well for me.
