The Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount HL-X delivers professional-grade illumination for tactical applications with dual fuel capability and multi-mode operation. This weapon-mounted light provides reliable target identification and engagement support across diverse operational environments.
What Makes This Different
The HL-X stands apart with its dual fuel system that accepts both CR123A lithium batteries and Streamlight's rechargeable 18650 battery pack. This flexibility eliminates power source limitations during extended operations. The light produces 1,000 lumens on high mode with a 1,400-foot beam distance, significantly outperforming standard 300-400 lumen tactical lights. TEN-TAP programming allows users to select from three different operating modes without external tools.
Key Features
- Dual fuel capability - runs on 2x CR123A batteries or 18650 rechargeable battery
- 1,000 lumen output with 22,000 candela peak beam intensity
- TEN-TAP programmable switch with high/low/strobe modes

Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes from -40°F to +120°F. The light maintains output regulation throughout battery life rather than gradually dimming. Runtime extends to 1.25 hours on high with CR123A batteries or 2.75 hours with the 18650 rechargeable option. Impact resistance testing confirms functionality after drops from 1 meter onto concrete.
