Streamlight 88600 PolyTac X Tactical Flashlight 600 Lumens

The Streamlight PolyTac X 88600 delivers professional-grade illumination with three distinct output levels for tactical applications. This polymer-bodied flashlight combines durability with versatile lighting options across 35, 260, and 600-lumen settings.

What Makes This Different

Unlike single-output tactical lights, the PolyTac X provides three selectable brightness levels through its TEN-TAP programming system. The high-impact polymer construction reduces weight compared to aluminum alternatives while maintaining the same level of protection. At 600 lumens maximum output, this flashlight produces significantly more light than standard duty lights, with a beam distance reaching 253 meters on high mode.

Key Features

• Three output levels: 35, 260, and 600 lumens with 28, 6.5, and 2.75-hour runtime respectively
• TEN-TAP programmable switch allows customization between high/strobe/low or high-only modes
• High-impact polymer body with textured grip surface and anti-roll design
• Multi-function push-button tail switch with momentary and constant-on operation
• Accepts two CR123A lithium batteries or one 18650 rechargeable battery
• IPX7 waterproof rating for submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes
• Removable pocket clip and lanyard attachment point included

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -40°F to 120°F. The white LED maintains color accuracy for target identification while the anti-roll head design prevents the light from moving when placed on surfaces. Battery compatibility with both CR123A and 18650 cells provides flexibility for extended operations or cost-effective rechargeable options.
