The Streamlight ProTac HL 88040 delivers professional-grade illumination with dual-fuel flexibility and tactical reliability. This high-lumen flashlight bridges the gap between everyday carry and mission-critical lighting with its C4 LED technology and multi-fuel capability.
What Makes This Different
The ProTac HL stands apart with its Ten-Tap programmable switch that allows users to select from three different operating modes. Unlike single-fuel lights, this model accepts either two CR123A lithium batteries or one rechargeable 18650 battery, providing operational flexibility in the field. The C4 LED produces 750 lumens on high with a 1.75-hour runtime, significantly outperforming standard incandescent tactical lights.
Key Features
- Dual-fuel design accepts CR123A lithium or 18650 rechargeable batteries
- C4 LED produces 750 lumens with 18,000 candela peak beam intensity
- Ten-Tap programmable switch with three selectable programs
- IPX7 waterproof rating withstands 1-meter submersion for 30 minutes
- Anti-roll head design prevents rolling on flat surfaces
- Removable pocket clip and tactical tail cap for versatile carry
- Anodized aluminum construction with scratch-resistant finish
Field performance centers on the light's 245-meter beam distance and consistent output regulation. Law enforcement professionals rely on the strobe mode for tactical applications, while the low 35-lumen setting extends runtime to 18 hours for extended operations. The light maintains full output until batteries are nearly depleted, then drops to 10% output rather than gradually dimming.
