Streamlight is a company located in Eagleville, Pennsylvania, United States, that manufactures flashlights powered by various-sized rechargeable and disposable batteries.
Their product line features hand-held and weapon-mountable lights[2] as well as a right angle light used by firefighters on their turnout gear.[3] Several of their products utilize dual sources, combining the long life of LED lamps with more powerful but shorter-lived conventional incandescent lamps. They also produce a series of Laser Illuminators such as the one of their newest models the TLR-8 which is a combination LED weapon light and laser.[4]
Streamlight developed a handheld 1 million candlepower (981,000 candela) searchlight as a commercial spin-off of technology developed by Johnson Space Center for NASA as part of the Apollo program.[5][6][7]
After the handheld design was finalised, the company was moved to King of Prussia, Pennsylvania by a private investor.[7] In 1977, the headquarters was moved to Norristown, Pennsylvania. In 2001, the company moved to Eagleville, Pennsylvania.[7]
