The ProTac HL-X is a powerful and versatile tactical light, designed to provide users with maximum illumination in any environment. It features a maximum output of 1000 lumens, and is powered by Streamlight's innovative SL-B26 (18650) USB rechargeable battery, which features an integrated USB charging port for convenient recharging on the go. The light also offers multi-battery versatility, allowing users to power the light with primary disposable cells if the rechargeable cell is out of power and there is no charging source available. The ProTac HL-X also comes equipped with a tactical tail cap switch, allowing users to easily switch between momentary or constant on operation, as well as three different user selectable programs. It also includes a pocket clip for easy carrying, ensuring it is always within reach when needed.

High brightness level

With a powerful 1,000 lumen output, the ProTac HL-X is a great choice for anyone who needs a bright and reliable tactical light. Whether you're working in low-light conditions or need to illuminate a large area, this flashlight will get the job done. The high output is achieved using the latest LED technology, which is both efficient and long-lasting.

Rechargeable battery

The ProTac HL-X comes with Streamlight's new SL-B26 (18650) USB battery, which has an integrated USB charging port. This means that you can recharge the battery quickly and easily using any USB port, whether it's on your computer or a wall adapter. The battery is also designed for long-lasting performance, so you won't have to worry about it running out of power when you need it most.

Versatility

One of the key features of the ProTac HL-X is its multi-battery versatility. This means that you can use primary disposable cells to power the light if the rechargeable cell is out of power and a charging source is not available. This is a great feature for anyone who needs to use their flashlight in remote locations or during extended periods of use.

Easy to use

The ProTac HL-X features a tactical tail cap switch for momentary or constant on operation, which makes it easy to use in any situation. Whether you need a quick burst of light or want to keep the light on continuously, you can do so with just a simple press of the button. The flashlight also has three different user selectable programs, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs.

I recently purchased the HL-X usb because of the small size , 1000 lumens rechargeable flashlight. I can’t believe the performance . The amount of light that comes out of this flashlight makes my HL flashlight look like the night light in my kids room. The feature of having a rechargeable battery and the ability to use the CR123A batteries is a great plus as a backup when electric isn’t available.
I highly recommend this flashlight for your pocket or pocketbook. It gives you a great feeling of security when you have it with you.

I purchased this light after having previous disposable battery lights and one cheap rechargeable light. None of them compare to the quality of this light. I use this light almost everyday and and only need to charge it about once or twice a month. It fits well in my pocket and works just as well as it did when I purchased it in August. The only other features that I wish it included are a lockout mode (so that it can't be turned on accidentally although I have not had any issues throwing it in my backpack) and a magnet.

This light is very bright and although it's not the "long gun" version, that's exactly what I'm using it for. Plus it's quite a bit less expensive than other lights that aren't nearly as bright. I'm very pleased and TG is simply the best.

Our QA team has always used Streamlight flashlights for their brightness, durability, and lifetime warranty (who'd have thunk QA's could be so hard on equipment?).

The ProTac HL-X flashlight is brighter, lighter, and recharges via a USB port! Way to make a great product even better.

I keep this one on my nightstand, next to my "Dog" (barks here-bites there). I am a first-time Streamlight purchaser and have really been impressed by the build quality. I also purchased the Pro Tac 1L-1AA and the Microstream USB. Never thought about looking into rechargable lights, but the new technology is amazing. Looking at 2 more to round out my home and backpacking needs. Great lights for your hard earned dollar.

It works like virtually all other LED flashlights with high lumens. In some situations it is too bright. The "low" position does not reduce enough. Excellent for outdoors at night, not conducive to work in confined areas. The manufacturing quality is 4 on a scale of 5. The distinguishing factor is having a rechargeable battery. Is that worth the price differential? Perhaps. It is dependent upon the number of cycles you get from the battery. You'll breakeven after about 6 cycles compared to the competition.

When it comes to streamlight, you just can’t find another light that works as well for the price. Reliable and warranties for life. You can’t beat that
