I purchased a Streamlight E-Spot LiteBox.

This is the box the LiteBox is packed in.

The wall mounting bracket is attached on the bottom.

The black switch below the handle towards the front is the light on switch. The switch is a reverse clickie.

To release the wall mounting bracket press the rectangular button on the back and slide forward.

There is another charging port located on the back. This is where the wall mounting bracket connects the power to.

This is where the charging indication is located. Red for charging. Green for full charge. Streamlight recommends a 24 hour charge time for initial charge.

The LiteBox is set to the high position at the factory. If you want to set the LiteBox to low a Phillips Head screw at the back of the head needs to be loosened to remove the back cover. Then move a jumper to the "LO" side of the three pin header.

This is from the Streamlight website.

High – 55,000 candela peak beam intensity; 540 lumens
Low – 32,000 candela peak beam intensity; 330 lumens

The Streamlight E-Spot LiteBox is an industrial-duty, rechargeable, portable lantern. It's heavy! I was surprised at it's weight.

It's rated IPX4 rated for water-resistance.

Made of High impact ABS thermoplastic housing.

The build quality is excellent. No issues noted at this time.

After I charged the battery I let the LiteBox sit for about 14 hours before I recharged the LiteBox for lux readings and beam shots. It went to green in less than a minute. I was surprised how short of a time it took recharge. This is my first lead acid battery light so I didn't know what to expect.

I was also surprised Rebel Leds are being used. On most of the newer led lights Streamlight is using are Cree's.

I didn't shoot any beam shots in low. It seems to much of a hassle to remove the back cover of the head and move a jumper.


I got the LiteBox from Optics Planet, Shipping was free. Cost was $128.24.
