Summary
I’ll try to start with the few negative points I could find: the red light is not the most beautiful on a white wall and the switch isn’t optimally operable with gloves. While the batteries cannot be easily swapped in the field, two 3800mAh batteries are included and can be replaced at any time via two screws. For me, this fits the concept, it’s suitable for the masses and yet still appropriate for the enthusiast who is worried about long-term use.
And what about the positives? The ST2 feels robust, well-suited for a life as a work or adventure light. Good output, good performance, usable beam pattern. All this with a relatively small surface area for cooling, as only the head of the light gets warm. Truly good UV light, truly good red light. The swivel head is an absolute highlight and works flawlessly.
I can imagine this light being really great for vanlifers or others who spend a lot of time on the road, as well as for workshop use. I can also see it being good for geocachers – all in all, a great all-rounder.
