Streamlight ProPolymer 3C 33244 review highlights

FlashlightReviews.com provides the most detailed and objective review of the Streamlight ProPolymer 3C flashlight, basing its rating and recommendation on extensive technical tests. We found the most owner-written reviews and ratings at Amazon.com, but also found useful comments from owners - with both praise and criticism - at two other retail sites, Optics Planet and ProfessionalEquipment.com.

Reviews say the 10-inch Streamlight ProPolymer 3C Luxeon LED is the best flashlight for general household use. It uses three C batteries, yet puts out as much light as a bigger, heavier incandescent-bulb MagLite 3D. A voltage regulator keeps the light bright much longer than on a MagLite, and reviews say the single level of light is good for intermediate-range tasks such as cooking or changing a tire. The flashlight comes with a clip and lanyard, and it carries a lifetime warranty. For general household use, reviews also recommend the Fenix P2D-CE (*est. $55), which is smaller and has long runtime, but costs much more.
