Streamlight 88610 PolyTac X Black Polymer LED Flashlight - 600 Lumens, 205m Range

The Streamlight PolyTac X is a compact 600-lumen LED flashlight built for hunters, shooters, and field work where you need serious light in your pocket. This black polymer tactical light delivers 205 meters of beam reach on high, enough to cut through darkness at the range, in the truck bed, or on a night hunt. Its tough-as-nails design—reinforced nylon polymer with Rocky Stipple texture for a rock-solid grip—handles the bumps and weather of real outdoor use, backed by IPX7 waterproofing and tested for 3-meter impact resistance.

The real innovation here is the multi-fuel battery system. The PolyTac X runs on either a rechargeable 18650 USB lithium battery or two CR123A disposables, so you're never stuck waiting for a charge or hunting for the right battery type. Switch between them based on your situation: grab the 18650 for extended runtime at home, carry CR123As in the field for backup power. TEN-TAP programming gives you three user-selectable modes—high/strobe/low, high-only, or low/medium/high—so you can dial in exactly the brightness and features you want without fumbling through modes you don't need.

The removable pocket clip keeps the light accessible but secure, and at just 4.34 ounces and 5.46 inches long, it rides comfortably in a shirt pocket or pack without bulk. High mode burns bright for 3.5 hours on the 18650 or 2.75 hours on CR123As; drop to low and you'll get 36 hours or 34 hours respectively—plenty of juice for a full hunting trip or a week of camping. Medium mode (260 lumens) splits the difference when you need brightness without burning through batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the PolyTac X with rechargeable batteries, or does it require disposables?

Both. The PolyTac X has a multi-fuel design that accepts either a rechargeable 18650 USB lithium battery or two CR123A lithium cells. You can switch between them as needed—use the 18650 at home where you can charge it via USB, and carry CR123As as backup power in the field.

What's included in the box?

The standard PolyTac X comes with two CR123A lithium batteries. If you want the rechargeable system with the 18650 USB battery and charging cord, that's available as a separate variant (the PolyTac X USB).

How far will the beam reach?

On high (600 lumens), the PolyTac X throws a 205-meter beam. Medium mode (260 lumens) reaches about 135 meters, and low (35 lumens) extends roughly 50 meters. Beam distance depends on the light level and what you're trying to see, but the high setting gives you serious reach for hunting or range work.

Is the PolyTac X rugged enough for hunting and outdoor use?

Yes. It's built from high-impact nylon polymer with a textured Rocky Stipple grip, rated IPX7 waterproof (survives submersion to 1 meter for 30 minutes), and tested for 3-meter drop impact resistance. It's designed to handle field conditions.
