"Streamlight's new Stinger LED HP and Stinger DS LED HP advance these two popular lights to among the brightest lights Streamlight offers, making them ideal for law enforcement officers who need extremely bright light under darkened conditions, such as during search operations or for lighting an emergency scene," said Streamlight Chief Operating Officer Ray Sharrah. "The combination of rechargeable batteries, C4 technology, and Streamlight engineering provides over 200% more intensity than the Stinger LED and Stinger DS LED, and also results in extremely low operating costs."

In the course of conducting a product demonstration, Bryan Piester, a regional sales manager for FNH USA, listened to some of the recent difficulties experienced by the New Roads (Louisiana) Police Department.

Additionally, the duty weapons currently in use by the New Roads PD are over 10 years old: parts from damaged guns were in use to keep the weapons safe and working.
