Streamlight 88062 ProTac 2L-X 500-Lumen 6800-Candela EDC High Performance Multi-Fuel Tactical Flashlight, Includes Non-Rechargeable Batteries, Holster and Clip, Clear Retail Packaging, 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.

This classic design from Streamlight is still awesome despite so many new players and creative designs in today's modern marketplace for flashlights. It's design, capacity, simplicity and just the perfect amount of features is what's most appealing about this model. Not a lot of fancy, confusing controls, too much power and fluff you will never really use. Quite importantly the "new" USBC rechargeable battery is what takes this flashlight from "very good" to "great." All this put together is what makes the ProTac 2L-X the best all-around Flashlight, in my opinion.

I had to get a light to replace my Surefire D3FT and quickly. I didn't really feel like dropping another few hundred on a light so I started looking at more budget friendly options. This thing has been great. It's very bright, the flood is nice and wide for illuminating trails in the dark, and the hotspot is great for reaching out when trying to spot something a decent distance away. You can comfortably see about 50yds away with this light on high, which for a handheld light should be more than enough.Rather lightweight in the hand, but feels very sturdy and durable. I wouldn't push my luck as far as I would with a SureFire, but it's held up to the normal abuse an EDC light normally would see with no issues whatsoever. The "ten-tap" programmable button is a nice luxury to have, but frankly I normally just run the light on the high only function.Overall thoughts are, I haven't felt the need to replace this light with a higher end one as it is getting the job done just as well so far. I highly recommend you pick one up if you're considering it.

Greatest light I've ever owned. My previous, rather old LED lights from Streamlight and Surefire, both of which are 1st generation 5W emitters, have nowhere near the power and versatility of this thing. What sold me the most was this lights mode settings. It can be set to power on in low mode first. When it's dark, or for task lighting like looking into a computer case, or whatever, it's low power output is more than enough and will run for 30hrs. The integrated clip works in either direction and holds the light secure in my pocket. The small diameter bell is unobtrusive, unlike my old Surefire or Streamlight, which are considerably thicker and rather bulky for pocket carry. My only criticism is that this light doesn't quite sit flush on it's tail cap. The button extends just enough to make it wobble around slightly. it will stand up on a perfectly flat surface, but if the lugs on the tail cap were just a hair longer, it wouldn't wobble around. It can also do high power first and has a strobe mode as well, if you're into that sort of thing. I like low, then high, personally. 500 lumen in an apartment with white walls is just blinding and complete overkill, but if you need the power, it's there. Highly recommended.
