Streamlight 88065 ProTac HL-X 1000-Lumen Multi-Fuel Professional Tactical Flashlight, Includes CR123A Lithium Batteries and Holster, Black

I rely on Streamlight products! I love the stinger series and so do pretty much the entire US police forces! This one however is a very expensive torch for what you get? Three modes but the brightest setting is the last one and you have to kick through the other two before you can use it? It sounds easy but it's tiresome if you just want max quickly! It also only has 50 lumens, and yes it's a ems themed torch but at near £60 it's easy out classed ?

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.

3+ years and still going strong. I purchased this light in April 2022 for law enforcement. Being on the job for 20+ years, this light is by far the best primary light I've ever had. Not only do I use it on the job but at home, working on my car, camping, road trips, and any time I need a reliable light source. I've used it in extreme heat/cold, in the rain, in the snow, and everything in between. I've dropped it, rolled it, and overall just beat the crap out of it. Not because I'm trying to break it but because I know I can’t. This light is super bright. It's like a portable compact search light I can hold in the palm of my hand. When I've been in the middle of nowhere at night, where it's pitch black, I've used this light to illuminate acres of land and light up objects almost 100 yards away, that's a football field. I can't believe this light is listed as frequently returned. It must be an error Amazon because this light has a 4.6 rating based on almost 3,000 reviews. I can only assume most of those reviews would have to be positive for the rating to be 4.6 stars. I did see one review which gave it 1 star and the person called it garbage. They didn't say anything else, just called it garbage with no reason behind that statement. The way I was brought up is if you want to voice your opinion, good or bad, have a rational/logical justification to support your opinion. Based on what I know about this light and most of the reviews, which are positive, this person either this person reviewed the wrong light or just doesn't know a great light when they see it. I don't leave many reviews on Amazon but I had to for this one, especially after seeing that review and that it's frequently returned. You can't go wrong with this light and because of that I'm buying a 2nd one to always have at home. That's actually why after 3+ years of owning this light I'm now leaving a review. I was going through my purchase history to find this light to order another one. If you want a great light that won't fail you, buy this light and you won't go wrong. But don't take my word for it, read more reviews, do your own research, and make your own educated decision. Have a great day!

Bought this as a present for my mom and she loves it. Package was lost and then arrived after a few months.

Do not buy this product! It is garbage. Not worth the money.

If you need a light for you cargo pocket, EMT kit, go-bag, lanyard, etc...then friend this is the light for you! I got one, wasn't a fan of the cost given it was just a simple small flashlight, but boy was a pleased how well it worked! Enough so i've gotten 2 more since for dropping into my go-bag for deployments. And where I go there are always mountains of AA batteries, so this light is perfect for me, because i can always get my hands on AA with no issue, and with little/no cost. I love the 3 "setting" of brightness, which are just a matter of bumping the button once, twice, or three times for low, med, high. But what i love is that 90% of the time i never need more than the low lumen setting to see in the dark, and keeping it mostly on low, I've been able to go months with heavy use on a single battery. But there have been times i needed the full lumen that this lil puppy packs and even then still gotten all the use I needed, i just changed the batteries (better safe than sorry) since they were abundant and free, but I've never had it die on me. The lil pouch is nice, esp if you need to wear it on your EMT belt, i chose to dump it and use the clip and keep in in my cargo pocket like a knife. On water rescue missions i throw it on a lanyard on my PFD as a backup for spotting the shoreline. bottom line: its pricey but i love it!

Excellent light. Have had several Streamlight Scorpion series lights and was looking for additional Scorpion HL. Noticed this 88065 ProTac HL-X and decided to try it. Was pleasantly surprised. Great size and Illumination was impressive. Capability to use 123 battery or rechargeable batteries a plus. Expensive, but these days you get what you pay(if you’re lucky). Highly recommend.
