I just received the Streamlight WayPoint from Amazon. I got it $61.00 shipped.

Inside view of the box the WayPoint came in.

Comes with a 12V DC car power cord.

It's a pistol grip type spotlight with 3 levels of light. High, Low and Strobe. The levels are controlled by the switch on the side. The on off switch is a reverse clickie.

The body is made of high impact polycarbonate.

The Waypoint has an adjustable stand. It clicks into what angle you want to set it at. It can almost adjust to 180°.

Uses 4 C Batteries. Opening the battery compartment is opened by loosening a thumbscrew.

Streamlight WayPoint High - 26,684 lux @ 1 meter

Streamlight WayPoint Low - 2380 lux @ 1 meter

The Streamlight WayPoint feels well balanced in my hand with the batteries. The WayPoint has a "gripper" rubber in front of the hand grip to help you hold it in your hand.

The 2 colors offered are black or yellow. The price for the black was a little higher than the yellow. About $3.00 more.

The switch is on the hard side to press.

I was surprised the WayPoint is smaller than I thought it would be.

The beam has the typical Cree rings. The rings don't bother me. The tint on my light is very white. The light levels seem well spaced to me.

I got a high lux number in high. 26,684 lux @ 1 meter.

Streamlight says a runtime at high for 8.5 hrs! Nice long runtime! Low is 120 hrs!

I like that the WayPoint uses common C Batteries.
