I have owned all sorts of flashlights, from the most expensive Surefires, to Streamlights, to Mag and other products and I must say this is truly an outstanding light!The finish is not the same as a Surefire Hard Anodized finish, but it seems to put out the same intensity of light as my Surefire M3Turbo which sells for 2-3 times the cost.The Surefire M3T has seemingly the same intensity but about twice the illumination area as the Strion.I have been so impressed with Surefires that I have owned 10-15 and I still think light for light they're the absolute best.I don't think this Streamlight will compare with the construction standards of a Surefire, but if it comes down to shear light output and the integrity of illumination, this Strion is so good I'm starting to rethink getting another Surefire.(I have quite a few anyway).

Recharging seems to be done in just a few minutes...I can't imagine how much I can save over constantly replacing CR123 batteries at $1.75 each, not to mention how sparingly I've used such lights in the past without wishing to replace batteries.Having a light pattern similar to the Surefire is nice, and having a replacement bulb provided in the tail cap and a cost of about $5.00 to replace the bulb compared to the assembly sold by Surefire has turned my head.

I also have and have used Liteboxes and Vulcans both as a long time owner of these and while serving as a fireman.The Streamlight Survivor (earlier style) was my favorite light, but the Strion reminds me of the light pattern without the size of the Survivor. I recently purchased a Fire Vulcan and was very disappointed in the light pattern with a large area of darkness surrounded by a ring of light.I was searching for a person recently and was so disappointed by the light pattern of the Vulcan that I went back to my vehicle and retrieved my Surefire M3T.If I had the Strion I would have opted for that light instead as I wouldn't eat up the batteries.I also recently purchased as Streamlite Litebox, as I had one of the earlier models with the sealed beam.The newer model has a small replacable lamp and I'm afraid it will have the same light pattern as the Vulcan.Still for a good long-lasting light you can't beat either of these lanterns.All of the Liteboxes, Survivors and Vulcans will take the heat and abuse of being on a fire scene and I think my Survivor went into a training exercise with me where the temp was around 650 degrees.The construction standards are excellent, but the light pattern with these have as of late been disappointing.

The Stiron is everything you would want in a light.It's very very powerful, more so than the G2, 6P, and E2E Surefires, but it doesn't have the construction standards the Surefires have as they're truly the best in construction.The Strion doesn't seem to have the same construction standards, but I'm noticing I'm using the Strion more and more and the Surefires less and less.
