Streamlight ProTac HL-X 1000 Lumen Tactical Flashlight with Rechargeable Battery and Jack Cap (88130)

The Streamlight ProTac HL-X 1000 lumen tactical flashlight is a versatile gun light built for shooters and operators who need reliable illumination in demanding conditions. Whether mounted on a rifle, carbine, or shotgun with Picatinny rails, or carried as a handheld duty light, the ProTac HL-X delivers serious output—1,000 lumens on high and a 447-meter beam distance—without the bulk or complexity of older tactical lights. The included rechargeable Streamlight SL-B26 battery keeps you running longer than disposables, and the redundant switch system (Jack-Cap tail cap plus optional remote pressure switch) gives you multiple ways to activate the light, whether you're manipulating a rifle or need hands-free operation during dynamic situations.

What sets the ProTac HL-X apart is flexibility. The TEN-TAP programming system lets you choose from three different operating modes: high with strobe capability, high only, or low-high switching. That means you can tailor the light to your role—tactical work, hunting, home defense, or low-light range sessions. The low mode runs for a full day on batteries, making it practical for extended use without sacrificing peak output when you need it. Construction is tough: anodized aluminum body with a tempered glass lens rated for impact resistance. Water protection runs to IP67 (submersible to 1 meter for 30 minutes without the remote switch installed), so rain, mud, and spray won't kill your light in the field.

The system includes everything you need to mount and operate it: the light itself, remote pressure switch, Jack-Cap switch, M-LOK mount for Picatinny rails, remote retaining clips, adhesive tape, and cable ties. If you choose the light-only option, you can add those accessories later. Battery options are practical too—run the included rechargeable SL-B26 for economy and reliability, or drop in two CR123A lithium batteries for immediate, zero-dependency backup power when you're deep in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the system, and can I get the light alone?

The ProTac HL-X is sold as a complete system that includes the light, rechargeable SL-B26 battery, remote pressure switch, Jack-Cap tail switch, M-LOK mounting bracket, remote retaining clips, adhesive tape, and zip ties. A light-only option is also available if you want to skip the accessories or use components you already own.

What rail systems does this fit?

The ProTac HL-X mounts directly to MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails via the included M-LOK bracket. It works with any rifle, carbine, or shotgun platform that uses standard Picatinny rail sections.

Can I use regular batteries instead of the rechargeable pack?

Yes. The light accepts either the included Streamlight SL-B26 rechargeable battery or two CR123A lithium batteries as backup power. Many users keep the rechargeable pack in primary use and carry CR123As in the field as a backup option.

How does the strobe function work, and when would I use it?

The TEN-TAP programming system allows you to set the light to one of three modes: high with strobe (useful for disorienting threats or signaling), high only (continuous output for general use), or low/high (switching between 60 and 1,000 lumens). You select your preferred mode during setup, then use the switch to activate it.
