Overview

The Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount HL-X represents exceptional value in the weapon light category, delivering 1,000 lumens with 50,000 candela and a 447-meter beam distance at a fraction of the cost of premium alternatives. This multi-fuel light accepts either one Streamlight SL-B26 rechargeable battery pack or two CR123A batteries while keeping the same 1,000-lumen high-output rating. The TEN-TAP programming allows users to select between three operating modes: high/strobe, high only, or low/high.

Constructed from anodized aluminum with impact-resistant tempered glass, the ProTac HL-X features an integrated rail clamp that makes it easy to attach to Picatinny rails, plus an included M-LOK mount for compatible handguards. The included remote pressure switch, push-button tailcap, retaining clips, tape, zip ties, and M-LOK hardware make this a complete package ready for installation. It is IP67-rated with the push-button tailcap installed and IP54-rated with the remote switch installed.

At approximately $100-130 street price, the ProTac HL-X competes directly with lights costing two to three times more. Users consistently praise its brightness, durability, and included accessories. For those seeking a reliable weapon light without the premium price tag, the ProTac HL-X delivers professional-grade performance that punches well above its weight class.
