Riverwalker’s Gear Test and Review - Stealth Flashlights
to extend your operational abilities past normal daylight hours. Most are
extremely portable and are simple to operate. Many also include additional
features which can further enhance their usefulness. Sometimes required
activities can’t wait until daylight and you are going to need some form of
lighting to assist you with getting your work done. There’s also less chance of
a mishap when traveling at night becomes necessary. You will need to have a good
flashlight handy to accomplish these goals.
different types of Stealth flashlights with a very unique feature. They also
function as a stun gun for personal defense and protection. This can add an
additional layer of protection for you and increase the level of your personal
security.
Stealth flashlights and their different features we will be testing are the
Model HW 1101 (medium size) and the HW 1108 (larger version). The picture above
gives you a reference point in order to see the difference in the size of these
two flashlights when compared with a pocket-sized LED flashlight that is fairly
common and found in stores most everywhere.

average flashlight, the lightweight and very compact Model HW 1101 does fit
nicely in a glove compartment or console in your vehicle. This enables you to
keep it handy for when it’s needed. It also can be easily carried in your back
pocket or in a bag or purse. You may simply want to keep one by the door just
in case you get an unwelcome visitor. This is important if you need to access
it quickly in order to use the personal defense stun feature. This model also
includes a wall charger and a car charger. Both charging units were tested and
worked as expected. The cords were of sufficient length to make the recharging
process quite simple. Having both a wall and car charger was an added bonus.
The case of the flashlight was easy to grip and felt very comfortable. The
switches were also readily accessible.
volts) was fairly localized when tested. Unfortunately, Mrs. RW wouldn’t volunteer (more like refused…lol) to help out on this part and said this
check was all mine. When used on myself, the stun was fairly localized but I
did suffer a quick reaction to the stun when tested on my bare foot. It
definitely got my attention even with the localized effect. Suffice it to say,
this test was only performed once with the HW 1101. The stun feature only works
when the flashlight is off and the slide switch on the unit is placed in the
full forward position.
extremely well when tested at night. It easily light up objects at a 100 yards
and made them easily identifiable. The 180 lumens LED worked better than
expected. The dim setting worked well also but the range was decreased by about
half when tested. The lower setting does allow you to conserve battery life and
extend the amount of time for working with light. This model also features a
replaceable battery.
also a pleasant surprise and had a very reasonable cost of only $40 plus
shipping. This is important if you are on a tight budget and want to keep your
gear costs at a minimum. Overall, the Stealth Flashlight Stun Model HW 1101 is
a reasonably priced, compact and lightweight LED flashlight that has the
additional ability to function in a personal defense capacity which makes it a
unique multi-function tool.

Better!” can be applied to the Model HW 1108. This flashlight easily lighted
objects at well over a hundred yards with ease. The three different lighting
modes all worked as expected and the strobe function was an added bonus. The
dim setting was also important since it allows you to still use the flashlight
while conserving battery power.
vehicle glove compartment, it does fit easily into the side pocket on your
vehicle door or a large center console. While quite a bit larger, it weighs in
at approximately 11 ounces and feels a lot heavier than its actual weight. If
the battery went dead, it could still function as a nifty little club.
model is equipped with a sturdy belt clip. This it allows it to be easily
carried on a utility belt or even clipped to your backpack. The clip holds the
flashlight securely while allowing it to be removed quickly and easily when
needed. The belt clip is fixed and not removable. The design of the flashlight also has a very nice feel to the grip as did the HW 1101 model.
a wall charger only. The supplied power cord does come up a little short in the
length department. You will need to have the flashlight in a vertical position
in order to recharge it. If the charging cord had been somewhat longer, it
would have allowed it to be charged in a safer and more secure horizontal
position. This would eliminate the possibility of your flashlight getting
knocked over during recharging.
a separate switch that’s allows the stun feature to be turned off for
additional safety. It is located in a recessed area on the end of the
flashlight next to the recharging port. This is a great feature when you
consider its higher stun capacity of 5,000,000 volts. The stun feature on the
HW 1108 was also tested and my bare foot once again felt the full force of this
feature. While also a similarly localized effect as the Model HW 1101, this did
get a “knee jerk” reaction on my part. The stun features works really well.
This test was also performed only once.
slightly more expensive at a cost of $45 plus shipping, the Model HW 1108 offers
a safety switch, extended flashlight range, increased stun capacity and a
strobe feature. The only major limitation is that it only offers a wall charger
and the battery is integrated into the flashlight and is not replaceable by the
user. It still affords an excellent option for a multi-function tool that can
add to your personal security and defense.
