Handheld and powerful, the Streamlight Waypoint pistol-grip spotlight offers high and low intensity modes, emergency signal mode, and the latest in power LED technology.

The Waypoint’s deep-dish parabolic reflector produces a long range targeting beam with optimum peripheral illumination, and its optimized electronics provides regulated intensity. It’s water resistant (IPX4 rating) and its high-impact polycarbonate housing has been tested for a 1-meter impact resistance. In addition to its handheld, pistol-grip trigger operation, the Waypoint has an integrated stand for hands-free scene lighting. Other features include an unbreakable polycarbonate lens, O-ring seal, and removable lanyard. It’s a great choice for law enforcement, search and rescue, security, and recreational applications.
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.

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.

Impressive I was looking for a small powerful spotlight for use on my boat and this one is almost perfect. 210 lumen does not sound very impressive for a spotlight but the reflector is very deep and the resulting beam is very tight, very bright and has an amazingly long throw. (Streamlight claims a distance of over 2000 feet.) On high power it does a great job picking out boats at the far end of the mooring field and lighting up channel markers from hundreds of yards away. The low power beam is about as bright as a normal 3 cell flashlight.The negatives I have found are:1) It uses C cell batteries which are an extra type to store on the boat.2) This light really should have a medium power setting because of the over 10X difference between the stun and vaporize settings.3) Almost everyone who sees it wants to play with it.Not an issue with the product but Amazon’s title for it says “with 12V DC Charge Cord”. It is NOT a charge cord it is a power cord. The cord powers the light. It does not charge the batteries.
Excellent performance so far I’ve had the Streamlight 44900 spotlight just over a month, using it mainly when walking my dogs when it’s dark outside, but also occasionally for extra light when doing household repairs. I bought it to replace my Stanley 12v rechargeable halogen spotlight, which has terrible battery life (five minutes at best before dying – a real waste of money that was).My first reaction when opening the Streamlight’s box was that it was smaller than expected, and it felt very lightweight. However, with the batteries installed, it feels more substantial, of course.I have used the Streamlight for at least 10 minutes daily so far, so that’s a total of over 300 minutes, and it’s still on the first set of alkaline batteries, and as bright as every. I like the click-stop stand that is incorporated into the design, which comes in handy when I want to rest the lamp down to attend to some task using both hands. The beam is excellent – not quite as bright as the Stanley (when it was working perfectly) – very white, and concentrated. It easily picks out trees and other objects a quarter of a mile away, which is ideal for me keeping an eye on three active dogs in our very large yard (over 3 acres). I bought it as a search aid just in case a dog breaks out of the invisible fence and takes to the woods surrounding our home – the Streamlight seems perfect for this purpose.I can’t say how long the batteries, bulb or casing will last, because it’s so new, but so far, I am very happy with it, and would happily recommend it to family and friends.Update December 2011 – this flashlight is still working perfectly, after daily use, and I am only recently onto my second set of batteries. It is one of my better purchases in recent years! Well done for an excellent product that does everything its makers claim. 10/10Update June 2012 – still working perfectly. This flashlight is still used daily. Battery life and beam quality are excellent. Still on original bulb, too!
