{"product_id":"streamlight-strion-switchblade-rechargeable-light-bar","title":"Streamlight Strion Switchblade Rechargeable Light Bar","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Streamlight Strion Switchblade is a rechargeable multi-mode work light combining five functions (droplight, hands-free light, UV light, bright white light, and high-CRI illumination with Color-Rite Technology) in a single bar-style unit. Output ranges from 400 to 500 lumens on high, with run times of 3 hours on high and 5 hours on low. It is available in one configuration and ships with a PiggyBack charger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFive Lights in One Form Factor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Strion Switchblade consolidates five distinct lighting modes into a single tool: a droplight for hanging over a work area, a hands-free mode for stationary tasks, a UV light for detecting fluids or markings, a standard bright white mode, and a high-CRI mode using Streamlight's Color-Rite Technology. High-CRI output renders colors more accurately than standard white LEDs, which matters when identifying wiring colors, fluid types, or surface conditions in low-light environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRuntime Built for Extended Work\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn its high setting, the Strion Switchblade delivers up to 500 lumens for 3 hours. Dropping to the low setting extends runtime to 5 hours, giving users flexibility to match output to the task and preserve battery life during longer jobs. The lithium-ion battery is user-replaceable: twist off the endcap, swap the battery, and continue working without waiting for a full recharge cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePiggyBack Charging System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included PiggyBack charger allows the battery to be charged independently of the light body, so a spare battery can be topped off while the light remains in use. This design reduces downtime during back-to-back shifts or extended fieldwork where access to power may be intermittent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive-in-one modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e droplight, hands-free, UV, bright white, and high-CRI Color-Rite output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400–500 lumens on the high setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended runtime:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 hours on high, 5 hours on low\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLithium-ion battery:\u003c\/strong\u003e twist-off endcap for fast field replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePiggyBack charger:\u003c\/strong\u003e charges battery independently of the light body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor-Rite Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-CRI mode for accurate color rendering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStreamlight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStrion Switchblade\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutput (High)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e400–500 lumens\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRuntime (High)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRuntime (Low)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBattery Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLithium-ion (user-replaceable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCharging System\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePiggyBack charger (included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e080926748514\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKRC-STRE-74851\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.38 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Strion Switchblade suits technicians, mechanics, first responders, and field personnel who need versatile, hands-free lighting across inspection, repair, and identification tasks.
