I have owned and used Streamlight products for over 25 years in public safety. I have an SL-20X still in-service for the same time frame. I've replaced the switch, battery and bulb, but overall it has been a major work horse that never failed me.
Now enters a new generation of lights, LED C4. I have slowly changed to the smaller units on my duty belt and have been very pleased with their durability and brightness. When LED first hit the market, they weren't nearly as bright as the original incandescent lights. But the improvements with recent LED C4 have changed lighting completely for the better. From LED light bars on emergency vehicles to the actual handheld lights used in the field.
So this brings me to making the change to the SL-20L. I use to carry two SL-20X, for the simple reason of the battery life. Most nights I would be fine with the single light, but some nights, scenes would require me to bring out the second light. I had the pleasure of seeing this new SL-20L light from a younger officer who had purchased it. I remember when Streamlight tried to make the combo light that had the 3 little LED with a regular incandescent bulb. I wasn't in the least bit impressed with that version. But seeing and using this new SL-20L, I was impressed. I purchased my own SL-20L and have been using the light for several weeks now. I charge it once a week at the beginning of my work week. The charge lasts all week during my shifts. It is very bright and appears to be just as durable as my old trusty SL-20X. I especially like that this light will charge in the original charging sleeve of the SL-20X.
I would recommend to anyone who needs the use of professional grade handheld lights to think very seriously about investing their money into this one. I remember paying over $100 25 years ago for the SL-20X, but it is still alive and strong and has been a valuable asset. I purchased this SL-20L with hopes it will serve me just as faithfully, and so far I have no complaints. Honestly, with the background and lifetime warranty Streamlight provides for all of their products, this is a win win deal. You won't go wrong with buying this light. I paid a little extra and purchased the one with new NiMH battery, which seems to be well worth the extra few dollars to allow me to use one charge all week long.
