Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 85010 Scorpion LED Flashlight

Customer Review: 42 lumens is WEAK
Summary: 2 Stars

Maybe a few years ago this was a good idea.

42 lumens is the LED manufacturer's spec for a 1-watt LED. This flashlight probably doesn't even put out 42 lumens, they are just pasting in the LED specification (which doesn't account for light loss due to reflectors, etc.). In reality, this is probably about 30 lumens.

If you really need a good flashlight for "professional" use, pay more for a Surefire G2. It's twice as bright, and they publish accurate light output numbers based on end-product testing.

If you just want a flashlight for occasional use and don't need anything brighter, there are currently a lot of other 1-watt flashlights which run off of 1 or 2 AA batteries. Lithium batteries are great when power consumption needs them, but this isn't the kind of light that needs it.

Description of Streamlight 85010 Scorpion LED Flashlight

Thanks to its super-high-flux Luxeon LED bulb, Streamlight's Scorpion is one of the brightest flashlights out there for its size and weight: It's rated at a blinding 47 lumens, yet it only weighs 5.3 ounces with batteries. The body is made of durable machined aluminum and features a rubber-armored sleeve for a sure, comfortable grip. O-rings keep the moisture out, and a polycarbonate lens (with scratch resistant coating) protects the LED. A convenient tail-cap switch lets you turn the light on and off without having to switch from an over- to underhanded grip.

The Scorpion runs on two three-volt lithium batteries (included), which will give you up to 1.75 hours of run time, with another couple of hours at reduced illumination. If you think it will be a while before you work through those four hours, you'll be relieved to know that the batteries have a 10-year shelf life-in other words, this flashlight will be ready when you need it.--Josh Dettweiler

At a Glance

This Streamlight Scorpion LED (model 85010) is powered by two CR123A lithium batteries, which provides up to 3.5 hours of run time on the high setting (160 lumens). Solid state power regulation provides maximum light output throughout battery life.

The machined aluminum barrel is covered by a rubber-armored sleeve in black for a sure grip, and an O-ring sealed, high-temperature glass lens. Other features include an anti-roll head and multi-function rubber push-button tactical tail switch. This flashlight's IPX4-rated design is water resistant. The Scorpion LED measures 5.6 inches long with a 0.94-inch barrel diameter and 1.25-inch head diameter, and it weighs 2.8 ounces with battery.

Streamlight's C4 LED Technology

Basic LEDs provide a number of significant advantages, including significantly longer run time, an almost infinite life, and amazing durability since there is no glass or filament. A downside to basic LED bulbs is that they're not especially bright, but Streamlight has tackled that problem with its C4 LED technology.

Producing a brighter, more powerful, blinding light than any LED that's come before, the Streamlight-engineered reflector with C4 Photonic Crystal technology almost triples the brightness and creates an intense beam that pierces the darkness. With C4 LED technology, your Streamlight flashlight will approximate the range and brightness of a xenon bulb. You'll also enjoy the long-run times and indestructibility of an LED with an increased level of brightness that leaves basic LEDs in the dark.

Warranty

This flashlight is warranted to be free of defect for a lifetime of use. Streamlight will repair, replace or refund the purchase price, at its option, of any Streamlight product that does not work or that you manage to break for as long as you own it. This limited lifetime warranty excludes abuse, batteries, chargers, switches and electronics. Rechargeable batteries, chargers, switches, and electronics have a two-year limited warranty with proof of purchase.
