Streamlight 88065 ProTac HL-X 1000-Lumen Multi-Fuel Professional Tactical Flashlight, Includes CR123A Lithium Batteries and Holster, Box, Black

I would like to update my previous review. I gave it 3 stars because the strobe didnt work. However, I installed new 18650 battery and everything works now. So, I updated to 5 stars.

I have this one, the new Streamlight dual fuel 1000 lumen, and three of the 600 lumen battery only Pro Tac HL. Used as part of my everyday carry gear. Heres the review: The 600 Lumen is BRIGHTER and has a WHITER light. I was surprised by this and used both the rechargeable (Fully charged) and new Streamlight brand batteries. I couldnt believe it. I even tried the same batts out of the 600 lumen. The 1000 lumen Pro Tac HL-X has a yellowish light, and not as bright as the 600 lumen Pro Tac HL. I have called and emailed Streamlight and they are ignoring me.

This just arrived yesterday and I could not be happier with this purchase. Very bright. Easy to use. Tried it out on the tree line about 50 yards from my front door. Lit everything up like it was day. I bought this to replace a Mag-Lite LED XL100 that finally bit the dust and stopped working. The Steamlight is larger but then its also 10x brighter. Easy to go from full on to strobe to low light. I do like the clip on the side. Fits well and snug in the pocket of my cargo shorts. I havent tried to belt holster yet but on examining it it seems well made and fit the flashlight tight but not overly so. It does heat up at the light source but thats to be expected for such a powerful light. The body of the flashlight remains cool. It would have been nice to be able to adjust the focus from a flood to a narrow beam but thats not a deal killer. Addendum: Well, this flashlight just stopped working. No rough treatment, new batteries. It just stopped. Contacted customer support so will see how that works. I registered this flashlight at Streamlight then contacted Customer Service online. I was emailed instructions on returning it to them to repair or replace. It was found that the on/off switch was faulty and was replaced. From the time I contacted Customer Service to getting it back was about a week. Was able to do all this without having to deal with a person and without any hassle. Thank you Stream Light

This flashlight is real bright and durable in that I have dropped it a number of times with no ill effect. I have gone through a ton of flashlights in the last six or seven years, and other than a JetBeam which they no longer make and this one, they have all pretty much stunk. Fenix and O light have failed me on numerous occasions, - various models and various configurations as has Klaurus and several other brands. The rechargeables are a non- starter as the batteries are super pricey, and when you use flashlights as much as I do, their decreased effectiveness after several recharges make them a waste of money. The one real drawback with this light and with all Cree real bright lights is that they have very limited battery life especially when used in their high output setting.

Quality construction and excellent light pattern. I have a similar light on my other AR. The beam is bright but not too bright for interior use.

Did not work at all straight out of the box. I also tried using the rechargeable batteries to see if that was the issue. It wasnt.

Where is the 18650 USB battery with an integrated USB charge port. Thought it inclueded a 18650 USB battery as well. Its an amazing torch - but I was expecting the 18650 USB battery in the package.

Excellent light! Super bright. Would definitely recommend it!

Oh yes, this is just what I hoped it would be. Super bright center beam with a wide angle side beam. I carry it every day for personal defense but found it very handy and helpful for daily use.

Took the lense off and it lights up an entire room. Great flashlight. I’ll be clearly be able to see who I point my firearm at if need be.
