Review on πŸ”¦ Streamlight 88085 ProTac HL-X USB 1000-Lumen Rechargeable Flashlight with USB Battery, Cord, Holster, and Box – Multi, Black by Jared Poinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great light so far.

I have had this item for about 10 days now. I love how bright this light is for its size. I work on public transport and I often turn on the lights early in the morning or late at night. I carry two flashlights on my belt, one of which is a small Maglight XL-50 which I use for working near electronic equipment and which I can hold in my mouth so both hands are free. Second was the Streamlight ProTac HL-X which is just great. The ability to swap out rechargeable batteries when you need them is fantastic. I bought two packs of extra 18650 batteries for this flashlight and made sure they were charged and ready to swap out. I've seen people complain about the strobe feature. In many cases I have to call the police or an ambulance. A strobe light is very useful when you want emergency services to know where you are immediately. Also good blinding and disorienting light against attackers. I can highly recommend this lamp. My next purchase will be a Streamlight ProTac HL-5X for my gear bag.
