ProTac HL-X 88065

One of the best-selling tactical flashlights on Amazon, the ProTac HL-X is the workhorse that law enforcement officers and military personnel actually carry. It delivers 1,000 lumens with a deep parabolic reflector that produces a tight hotspot with useful spill, reaching out to 330 meters. Streamlight's TEN-TAP programmable switch lets you choose between high-only, low-high-strobe, or high-low-strobe sequences. Dual-fuel capability accepts either the included rechargeable 18650 battery or CR123A lithium cells for maximum flexibility in the field.
