   The light emits very strong light and very happy with the flashlight. 2 stars for the batteries that came with the flashlight – should have provided rechargeable batteries considering the price you paid. Had to buy extra rechargeable lithium batteries and charging station for extra over $100.00.

5. Joseph Bauer Verified Buyer – 4 November 2024

   This is a nice light but had I known I cannot buy the rechargeable stream light batteries here in Canada I never would have bought this light.

   Why they sell the flashlight on streamlightoutlet.com but do not sell the rechargeable batteries is beyond me.

   Had I known I would always have to buy replacement CR123 batteries I never would have bought this light.

   My recommendations is to buy a light that can be easily used and doesn’t leave you hanging without power or a power source.

   Excellent beam and reliability. Gave to senior in high school for his car tools.

   I kind of consider myself to be a flashlight nerd and this is one of the top lights in my arsenal of flashlights. I give it 4 Stars based on its overall brightness but it does lack a definitive spot in the middle that you would get from another Streamlight flashlights. Also I have to mention, the lack of the of a tailcap switch is missed on this light and should be standard.

9. Long-Term Review & Demonstration – Streamlight ProTac HL 5-X Verified Buyer – 17 March 2025

   This flashlight lives up to its name for sure! I have included a demonstration video with the batteries that come with the unit (Cr123a) which produces lumens value of 2,500. The rubber stippling on the handle makes it easy to hang on to, and there really isn’t much weight to the unit at all compared to others producing the same output of light. All that said to say this is a well made rugged flash light, that can be programmed as well as output increased with the larger size lithium batteries! Great Buy! Very Pleased! If anything should change I will update this review.

    I have become a complete flashlight junkie in the past 3 months. My collection has exploded to 25 and there are more on the way! I am an AVID night hiker and am just addicted to getting out in the hills at night with a perfect globe of light surrounding me so that I can see every nuance, root and rock in the trail. It is also fun because you are out there with all of the animals and their glowing little eyes.

    Now……what do I most look for in a flashlight
    1. At least 1000 lumens
    2. Hold strong on that 1000 lumens for >1 hour
    3. Durable
    4. Easy User Interface

    I really don’t like lights that can pump out huge lumens for 40 seconds and then step down and fade to 300. This light HOLDS 3500 lumens the entire time I am using it. It never dims. Until the batteries run out. It really doesn’t get hot either. I am stumped how and why but I will take it!

    2. A flashlight has to stay stuck on one brightness level……the one you select. This one does. It has a simple UI (10 clicks to go into select mode – then choose which of three settings you want it to stay on.) I like the high/strobe setting. I need a light that can kick out a comfortably bright 1000 lumens for up to 2 hours. The Protac HL5-x does!

    3. I know that all expensive, bright flashlights are rated to about a 3 foot drop. I feel like this light could survive 30! It is rock solid and covered in a hard rubber coating that makes it super grippy and I’m sure adds structural strength to the flashlight. The glass on the lens is quite thick. More so than my other lights. The large chunk of clear plastic ( the TIR lense) in the head of the light that helps amplify and focus the beam I believe adds integrity structurally to the light as well. It encases the LED and that can’t be bad! I just had it out in a pouring rainstorm and it got drenched. The other light that I had with me (that cost 2x as much) had condensation covering the entire inner lense surface.

    4. More about the UI. There are three, three level settings that you get to by half clicking 10 times on the on/off button then pressing it in all the way. The light will flash either low, high, or strobe, then turn off. If low comes up – and you leave it as the selected mode – you will access low with one full click, medium with one half click then a full click. Two half clicks and a full push in will get you to high.

    If strobe comes up – then turns off- you are in tactical mode. First full push goes straight to high.
    One half push then a full push goes to strobe. Two half clicks and a full push results in low.

    If high results after your ten half clicks. Then you are on high only mode. 1, 2, or 3 clicks and push results in high.

    If there was one small issue I have with this light is that it is quite large for many activities. It is too big to fit in you pocket. However, in spite of it’s size and slightly heavy weight…. I still keep grabbing it for my hikes. I use a Niteize holster that I have fixed to the shoulder of my backpack. I point it about 30 feet up the trail and it is amazing!

    In the event of an attacker this flashlight would certainly be the best light I have. It has a fair bit of head weight and is BLINDINGLY BRIGHT! Even in broad daylight you could momentarily blind and incapacitate any attacker! Try that with a whimpy little EDC light!

    Ok. So for some reason this flashlight takes a little bit of the mystery out of all my testing experimentation that goes along with being a flashlight fanatic. It’s super bright, doesn’t step down. Crazy durable, affordable and 100% reliable. But it doesn’t have any little flashing lights on it. A couple would be nice….just for the kids! Lol!

    Lastly……. The batteries that come with this flashlight are INSANELY POWERFUL! They literally short out my other 18650 lights when I try to run them! (The light will run on 4 CR123 batteries as well. I haven’t run this set up for long though so am not too sure about the endurance factor.

    So their you have it! An absolutely incredible light that is so predictable it borders on boring!

    Excellent brand that lives up to its high quality reputation. Disappointed that I received 4 C123A non-rechargeable batteries instead of 2 larger rechargeable ones, since you will burn through batteries with these high outputs.
    

12. Alain Noel Verified Buyer – 5 May 2025

    I bought wrong one for my work…use it a lot, this one not rechargeable usb or battery. Ensure you get one that has rechargeable battery. I had to make second purchase of batteries, cr123 energizers cost $40 at home, 2 streamlight 18650 were same but last forever.

    This was gift for my husband. He loves it. This light illuminates a very large area. It cuts through heavy rain and fog. It has multiple light settings for multiple lighting needs. It is a little on the expensive side (for a flashlight) but the construction is superior and will last for a very long time.
    

14. Blaze Verified Buyer – 13 June 2025

    You want to see in the dark? Look no further. One of the best quality made lights on the market at an affordable price.
    Seriously bright. Puts sure fire to shame.
    If you can’t find your deer with this light you should probly just order venison online!
