According to Streamlight President Brad Penney, Streamlight has an impressive history as pioneers in rechargeability. Each new benchmark in rechargeable technology reduces the size and weight of the flashlights using the new technology.

"With the introduction of the new Strion, we are taking rechargeable flashlights to a new level. It's our lightest, most compact rechargeable."
"The compact size of the lithium ion rechargeable battery allows us to manufacture rechargeable flashlights that are smaller and lighter but just as bright as the larger rechargeable models," commented Penney. "At just 5.3 inches long and .29 pounds (with battery), the Strion offers up to a fifty percent weight reduction from other rechargeable lights."
