"With their amazing lumen output and battery versatility, these new ProTac X lights are among the brightest and most adaptable tactical lights on the market today," said Streamlight Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Michael F. Dineen. "The ProTac HL-X functions like a hand-held floodlight, making it ideal for illuminating an entire area, including what may be obscured along perimeters or in corners. And the compact size of the 2L-X, together with its other features, makes it the ideal everyday carry light."
Both lights also feature a TEN-TAP programmable switch, which allows for user selection from among three programs. The HL-X offers high/strobe/low (factory default), high only, or low/medium/high; the 2L-X provides high/strobe/low (factory default), high only, or low/high.
The new models use the latest in power LED technology for extreme brightness. When using an 18650 battery, the ProTac HL-X on high delivers 1,000 lumens, 27,100 candela, a 330-meter beam distance, and a runtime of up to 1 hour and 30 minutes. On low, the light provides 65 lumens, 1,600 candela, a beam distance of 80 meters, and a runtime of up to 23 hours. The runtime for the light's strobe is up to 3 hours and 15 minutes.
On high, the ProTac 2L-X provides 500 lumens on high, 6,800 candela, a beam distance of 165, and a runtime of up to 3 hours and 15 minutes with an 18650 battery inserted. On low, the light provides 40 lumens, 600 candela, a 49 meter beam distance, and a runtime of 30 hours.
Fabricated from 6000 series machined aircraft aluminum with Type II MIL-Spec anodized finish, the lights feature a multi-function, push-button tactical tail switch that permits one-handed operation of the momentary, variable intensity or strobe modes.
