This advanced lighting instrument isn't just a flashlight; it's a critical piece of gear designed to provide superior situational awareness and tactical advantage in low-light conditions. Whether you're navigating complex terrains, conducting critical inspections, or responding to emergencies, the ProTac HL 5-X ensures you have the illumination required to perform with confidence and precision.

Unrivaled Performance for Demanding Situations

The core of the Streamlight ProTac HL 5-X's appeal lies in its extraordinary light output and intelligent power management. Utilizing advanced C4 LED technology, this flashlight delivers extreme brightness that cuts through darkness, fog, and smoke with remarkable clarity.

Key Performance Highlights:

• Blinding Brightness: Capable of unleashing up to 3,500 lumens when powered by the Streamlight 18650 USB lithium-ion batteries, or 2,500 lumens with CR123A lithium batteries. This staggering output provides an expansive flood of light, ideal for illuminating large areas or disorienting potential threats.
• Exceptional Beam Distance: With a maximum beam distance of 452 meters (nearly half a kilometer!), the ProTac HL 5-X transforms night into day, allowing for long-range target identification, perimeter checks, and pathfinding in vast open spaces. The concentrated beam pattern, measured at 51,000 candela on high mode (18650 USB), ensures that light is precisely directed where it's needed most.
• Optimized Runtime for Extended Operations: Engineered with advanced electronics featuring thermal management and regulated intensity, the ProTac HL 5-X maintains maximum light output throughout its battery life, preventing the gradual dimming often experienced with lesser flashlights. Depending on the chosen power source and mode, users can expect runtimes ranging from 1 hour 15 minutes on high to an impressive 11 hours 30 minutes on low. This extended operational readiness is crucial for professionals who cannot afford light failure during prolonged missions or tasks.
• Strobe Functionality: Beyond constant illumination, the integrated strobe mode offers a critical tactical advantage. It can be used for signaling purposes in emergency situations or, more commonly, to disorient an assailant, providing valuable seconds for tactical response or escape.

Engineered for Extreme Durability and Reliability

When reliability is paramount, the Streamlight ProTac HL 5-X stands out. It's built to endure the most punishing conditions, making it an ideal choice for anyone who works or ventures into challenging environments.

Robust Construction Details:

• Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Body: The flashlight's housing is meticulously machined from 6000 Series aircraft aluminum, a material renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This robust metal provides superior impact resistance and structural integrity, protecting internal components from damage.
• Anodized Finish: The aluminum body is further enhanced with a durable anodized finish. This process creates a hard, corrosion-resistant layer that protects against scratches, abrasions, and the corrosive effects of harsh chemicals, saltwater, and extreme weather.
• IPX7 Waterproof Rating: A key feature for professionals operating in unpredictable conditions, the IPX7 rating ensures the ProTac HL 5-X is waterproof to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. This means it can confidently be used in heavy rain, accidental drops into puddles, or even shallow water crossings without compromising performance. It's the assurance you need that your light will work when submerged.
• 1-Meter Impact Resistance Tested: Beyond water immersion, the flashlight is rigorously tested to withstand impacts from a height of 1 meter. This real-world impact resistance guarantees reliability even after accidental drops or impacts, a common occurrence in dynamic operational environments.
• Anti-Roll Face Cap: The thoughtfully designed anti-roll face cap prevents the flashlight from rolling off sloped surfaces, keeping it secure and accessible when placed down.
• Sure Grip Rubber Sleeve: For enhanced handling and control, the flashlight features a sure grip rubber sleeve. This ergonomic addition provides a comfortable and secure hold, even in wet conditions or when wearing gloves, reducing the risk of accidental drops.
• Serialized for Positive Identification: Each ProTac HL 5-X is individually serialized, allowing for easy identification, inventory management, and tracking – a valuable feature for organizations managing equipment fleets.

Multi-Fuel Versatility: Adaptability Without Compromise

One of the most innovative and practical features of the Streamlight ProTac HL 5-X is its groundbreaking multi-fuel capability. This design provides users with unparalleled flexibility and ensures operational readiness in any circumstance.

Flexible Power Options:

• Streamlight 18650 USB Lithium-Ion Batteries: The flashlight is optimized to be powered by two Streamlight rechargeable 18650 USB lithium-ion batteries. These cutting-edge batteries offer excellent power density and can be recharged directly via a USB port, eliminating the need for a separate charger and providing convenient recharging on the go, whether in a vehicle, from a power bank, or with a standard USB wall adapter. This rechargeable option is ideal for routine use, offering cost savings and environmental benefits over disposable batteries.
• CR123A Lithium Batteries: In situations where recharging isn't feasible or for emergency backup, the ProTac HL 5-X also readily accepts four CR123A lithium batteries. This alternative power source is widely available and offers a reliable, long-shelf-life option, ensuring you're never left in the dark, even in remote locations or during extended power outages.

This multi-fuel design addresses a crucial need for professionals and outdoor adventurers: the ability to adapt to available resources. Whether you prefer the economic and environmental advantages of rechargeable batteries or the immediate availability of disposable ones, the ProTac HL 5-X has you covered.

TEN-TAP Programming: Tailored to Your Mission

The user experience is further enhanced by Streamlight's innovative TEN-TAP Programming. This intuitive feature allows users to customize the flashlight's operating modes to suit their specific needs and preferences. No more cycling through unnecessary modes to get to your desired light setting.

Customizable Operating Modes:

• Program 1 (Factory Default): High/Strobe/Low: This versatile program provides immediate access to the most powerful setting, a tactical strobe, and an energy-efficient low mode. It's a popular choice for general use and tactical scenarios.
• Program 2: High Only: For users who prioritize simplicity and direct access to maximum output, this program ensures that a single click always activates the highest lumen setting, ideal for quick bursts of illumination or situations where only full power is required.
• Program 3: Low/Medium/High: This program offers a more graduated progression of light output, starting with a subtle low beam for administrative tasks or preserving night vision, moving to a balanced medium, and finally to the powerful high mode. It's excellent for tasks requiring varied light levels without the distraction of a strobe.

Switching between these programs is simple and quick, done via the multi-function, easy-access head-mounted push-button switch. This one-handed operation allows for momentary activation, variable intensity selection, or strobe mode engagement, providing seamless control in high-stress situations.
