Streamlight Stinger LED vs. Stinger DS LED

The difference between the Streamlight Stinger LED and the Stinger DS LED is mainly in the controls. The Stinger DS LED (Dual Switch) has both a switch on the back and a switch on the side, offering more flexibility in use. The standard Stinger LED only has a switch on the back, giving fewer options for operation. Otherwise, light output and other technical features are mostly the same.
