They are definitely dimmer than the incandescent model. Even Streamlight says so. They rate the regular Stinger at 125 lumens and the LED model at only 80 Lumens. I can tell from handling one that they are MUCH dimmer than the incan. model.
My personal opinion: I don't like them one bit. Here's why:
80 lumens is not much above the output D-cell Mag-Lite, but the light costs five times as much.
Having used LED lights, I can say that I don't care for the blue-ish tint of LEDs. Even the whitest of the ultra-white LEDs are blue. The lack of the reddish portion of the spectrum impairs color rendition, especially outdoors. This worries me if I am searching for somebody or something.
On the plus side, run-time is extended. I don't think that is worth the price of 40 lumens of output and putting up with an irritating blue beam.
For the price, you can get more bang for your buck.
