Streamlight 88083 ProTac 2L-X USB 500-Lumen 68,000-Candela Tactical LED Flashlight, Ten-TAP Programmable, Box, Black

I've had this flashlight with the rechargeable USB Streamlight battery since August 2019 (3/1/23 Now) I've had it on my person every single day for the past 3 and a half years and use it very often/multiple times a day, every day. Finally last week when I turned it on, it would immediately go dim and die in 1 second. I charged the battery, it showed green (fully charged) and did the same thing. After buying a new Streamlight SL-B26 Rechargeable USB Battery, the flashlight worked perfectly again. (Yes this is the same battery and will fit) As you can see my flashlight has been through hell and back and is still as durable, reliable, and bright as the first day I got it. I love this little baby! 😁 The clip has stayed on and strong, maybe pinched it closed tighter with pliers for a tighter fit once or twice, so that days alot about its strength and durability. (Dual direction clip BTW/Hangs bezel down or up/As well as clipping on your hat brim or shoulder) the cap still holds a great seal (Also has a small hole in the top cap that you can attatch string or some other way to connect it to your body or wherever for extra security. Ive done this before using fishing line to prevent the flashlight from getting snagged completely off my body and getting lost, especially if its loud and dark, you wouldnt even know you dropped it until you need it most) and the glass/plastic window the light shines through has stayed intact without any scratches or breaking at all thanks to its durability and the bezel. This flashlight is a workhorse and shines SO bright, plus you get the 3 functions. This is my go to and it's part of my EDC (Everyday Carry). I don't go anywhere without it. If you are a firearm carrier, a flashlight is a must have. If you don't carry, it's a must have. This flashlight has saved my life and wellbeing so many times plus the times I didn't even realize it's saved my butt, I couldn't even imagine the number of times this flashlight has had my back. Amazing quality and an amazing price. P.S. Rechargeable USB battery is the way to go, just stick with Streamlight brand so you KNOW you have the best operating system. A flashlight will save your life, literally, and all the way to "Oh darn I dropped something lemme get my light out, to camping, to power outage, the possibilities are endless, and this is the flashlight I trust my life with. ❤️ Well done and thank you Streamlight.

Perfect size for every day carry, work (I'm an airframe mechanic and this by far is better to use than those larger streamlights). Fits in the hands better. Easy to draw from a pocket. Fits in tight spots to light the work area. I've had this since 2022, using streamlight batteries. No failures. Dropped i don't know how many times on concrete hangar floors from various heights. Shows it's age, wear on the finish I'm not impressed with but in general a reliable, bright, idiot proof, bullet proof light. Worth the cost. Get 1 !

Have bought 4 of these so far. I buy one every couple years. Have never broken one yet but they occasionally get lost which is why I replace. Carried in my pocket every day. Use it every day. Gets put on my welding helmet all the time at work. The lens gets scratched up pretty easily and weld spatter sticks to it and tears it up quick. Wish the sold a disposable lens cover. The light is super bright sk it really doesn't matter that the lense gets scratched up if shines right through it. The batteries last about 6 months of daily recharging before i need to buy new ones. I usually keep 4 batteries on hand that I cycle throughout the week.

I ordered the 2L-X USB on the recommendation of a very experienced security professional and John Lovell of the Warrior Poet Society's product review - neither one of them let me down. The Pro-Tac is, literally, "hurt your eyes" bright, while being small & lightweight enough to my everyday carry gear as a security officer with very little notice. The holster that came with it, as well as the included pocket clip give one a good deal of options on how best to carry it. The USB rechargeable battery has almost paid for itself already instead repeated purchases of lithium batteries that can be expensive when not on sale. One big advantage that the Streamlight has over similar lights, is that you can program it so that it does the main feature you want it to do, instead of cycling through the 3 or 4 functions of Bright/Low?Strobe that other manufacturers require you to do each time you use them, though the 2L-X DOES have those options as well.. I chose the Bright non-strobe setting, and I get it every time I press the button, which is recessed in the tail cap to help reduce accidental powering. The lens bezel has a slim profile not much larger than the main tube, not the much larger one like on a Surefire (which I also considered) and that helps a lot for pocket carrying. The 500 lumen beam makes the 2L-X an ideal non-lethal defense tool for those who can't carry more obvious "weapons". In a confrontation, you could temporarily blind an attacker, giving you a chance to move laterally or run away without being seen, or the risks associated with something like pepper spray that can come back on the user. It's also difficult to build up a resistance to such as bright light. It could also be used as an impact weapon similar to a Kubotan, and both ends have scalloped cutouts that can be "DNA collectors" in the possibility of later legal actions. I strongly urge anyone needing a defensive, tactical flashlight to seriously consider the Streamlight Pro-Tac 2lX-X USB - you Won't be disappointed.

I am happy with this product. So happy I have bought 3 of them for personal use.

Tiene una luz tan sumamente fuerte que deslumbra. Pero si quieres ver bien en la oscuridad, definitivamente es tu linterna.

Perfekt för jobbet

This torch is inferior to the streamlight [ ,purchased about 4years ago] of the same type.Also, the £71.45 as advertised inc postage, but I was charged over £ 80 for this torch.

Construcción Solida, muy buena Potencia y Calidad. Busque el repuesto de la batería y no lo tienen en Amazon, sería deseable que estuviera disponible. Probe con otra batería recargable 18650, funciona, pero le queda un poco chica, la original es un poco más grande por el sistema de carga USB. Jale un poco el resorte de la tapa, "cuidando de no desoldarlo", ajusto mejor y funcionó bien.
