Streamlight’s New ProTac HP-X Series

July 9, 2025

When it comes to lighting up the dark corners of the world—be it a deep woods search, a sketchy back alley, or a midnight perimeter sweep—Streamlight doesn’t mess around. Their latest power-packed duo, the ProTac HP-X USB and ProTac HP-X, are flashlights that punch way above their weight class with 800 lumens and a laser-focused beam that stretches nearly 650 meters. That’s not a flashlight—that’s a freakin’ lightsaber with a pocket clip.

Built for professionals who need to see exactly what’s out there—law enforcement, search and rescue, security teams, and rugged industrial crews—these new models throw down 105,000 candela of pure, tight-beam fury. If you need to light up something a football field and a half away, these are the tools for the job.

Choose Your Power Source — Rule the Darkness

For the plug-and-play crowd, the ProTac HP-X USB includes Streamlight’s rechargeable SL-B26 Li-Ion battery pack, complete with an integrated USB-C port. No clunky charger bricks or battery voodoo—just plug it in and go. You’ll get up to 31 hours of runtime, and it’ll juice up in five hours flat.

Prefer to roll old-school with disposables? The ProTac HP-X model runs on two CR123A lithium batteries, delivering up to 24 hours of dependable glow. Either way, you’re walking into the night with confidence—and a focused beam that could signal aircraft.

Tactical Smarts Meet Rugged Brawn

Both models come equipped with TEN-TAP programming, letting you customize the light to fit your mission: high/strobe/low, high only, or low/medium/high. The multi-function tail cap switch gives you quick access to momentary or constant-on lighting, and the anti-roll face cap ensures your flashlight won’t take off when you set it down mid-op.

And as expected from Streamlight, these lights are built like mini tanks. Machined from 6000 series aircraft aluminum with a Mil-Spec anodized finish, they’re IP68-rated and drop-tested from two meters. So go ahead—drop it, dunk it, drag it through the dust. It’ll keep throwing light like it’s got a grudge against the dark.
