Application

The Streamlight Stinger 2020 S features an ergonomic flat design that enables technicians to hold the light in their hand, under theIR arm, or even in the crook of theIR neck without losing their grip or hold. The light is perfect for a wide variety of uses, from inspecting under the hood to making repairs or checking fluid levels.  

Origin

The Stinger 2020 S is the next generation of the Stinger 2020, which revolutionized the idea of a super-bright, rechargeable light. This newest model was developed in response to the demand for charging options that energize both the light and a backup battery simultaneously, ultimately providing a longer run time. 

Features and benefits

The Stinger 2020 S battery can be charged inside the light with existing Stinger chargers or via a snap-in PiggyBack charger, ensuring auto technicians will never be without a spare battery during a day’s work. The PiggyBack charger allows technicians to simply pop one battery out of the light and insert a freshly charged one with no downtime. 

The light’s mode selector switch eliminates the need to cycle between modes with each use, saving time between each task. 

Manufacturing/engineering specifications

The Stinger 2020 S is powered by a single Stinger 2020 S 5,200mAh protected Li-ion rechargeable battery pack that is rechargeable up to 500 times and can be charged inside the light with existing Stinger chargers or via a snap-in PiggyBack charger. 

On high, the Stinger 2020 S delivers 2,000 lm, 25,000 cd, a 315m beam distance, and a 2-hour run time. On low, the light offers an extended run time of 24 hours with 100 lumens, 1,200 cd, and a 70-meter beam distance. Strobe mode runs for 3.25 hours. 

The light is made from premium-quality aluminum alloy. It features a BOROFLOAT glass lens that is gasket-sealed. The light measures 7.69" and weighs 12.2 oz. 

The Stinger 2020 S is IPX7-rated and is waterproof to 1m for 30 minutes. It is also impact-resistance tested to 2m. 

Available in black, the Stinger 2020 S comes in three versions: No. 78201 -- includes a 120V PiggyBack charger, No. 78202 -- includes a 120V Stinger charger, and No. 78200 -- just the light with no charger.
