🔦 STREAMLIGHT 88065 Pro Tac HL-X 1000-Lumen Tactical Flashlight - Dual Fuel, High/Low/Strobe, with 2x CR123A Batteries and Holster Review

Disappointed at first when trying the light in the kitchen; it appeared yellowish and didn't shine much brighter than some of my less expensive bulbs. I prefer whiter light that appears brighter. Then I took it outside and wow I was impressed. It's obvious that the engineer paid a lot of attention to the optics, as they have a nice soft spot for excellent peripheral vision. This light completely illuminates my garden. Whether you're a homeowner trying to see what happened at night or a LEO…

I'm a plumber and this flashlight gets used many times a day, every day. I usually wait to write a detailed review, but this flashlight regularly proves to be tough. It is constantly used in basements, basements, under sinks and at night. I probably use it for about an hour or more every day! It can withstand falls, water immersion and continuous use. It's programmable and I prefer to stay on the LMH setting for longer battery life unless high power is needed. It's bright when needed, but also…

I've had the Surefire Fury for almost four years. After seeing and reading many reviews on Streamlight's new offerings, especially HL-X, I decided to give it a try. I can only say wow. For the money, this Streamlight outperforms the Surefire. Sorry Surefire fans. But at this price point, a thousand lumens and Streamlight customer service. they have recruited him for the time being. This sucker is light, very well built and has decent battery life. I've added a Thyrm Switchback and Streamlight…

Great little light ( ProTac HL-X ). TapTen programming allows you to enable and disable lighting modes that you don't use. Very bright up high, dazzling. I particularly like the low and medium settings, as low is still bright enough for general use and medium is bright enough to temporarily blind someone, but without the high power consumption of a full 1,000 lumens. Battery life seems good, I haven't leaked the ones that come with it. You can also use 18650 batteries if you need "high…

Well I got it and tried it and it's not as bright as everyone says! How do I know ? Because I bought the XL for my Glock 20 and it's bright! I mean I lit my dog on it and it's still banging on the walls. It's about half that, maybe 500 lumens, not like 1000. and it looks greenish, I'm not saying it's a bad light, but my 270 lumen mini magnet light is as bright as this one! I also bought one of them 15.00 or 70.00? To be honest they are about the same. In hell there aren't even close to 1000…

I bought 4-5 Protac HL 750 lumen flashlights and gave them away, except for the one my wife has kept . I had to order a flashlight for myself and came across the HL-X with 1000 lumens. I ordered one to test and maybe the second as a replacement for my wife's 750 lumen. I turned on the flashlight and wasn't impressed. The brightness is slightly brighter than the HL 750 lumens. For my part, the new HL-X and old HL have the same brightness, but the HL-X has a slightly sharper beam edge (where…

I've had this flashlight for about 2 years now and I think it's great for the price. It works well with primary cells (CR123) but is a bit irritating when it comes to 18650, you need to make sure you pick the right ones. I can also confirm that the orbtronic button cells work well. I'm sure there are several other brands that work well, but I've tried at least one brand that didn't make contact with the port in the flashlight because the battery tip didn't quite reach. Just stick with a brand…
