Many believe the new Streamlight ProTac 2L-X 500 lumen light may be the perfect every day carry light and I discuss why that may be while doing a beam comparison with the Surefire G2X Tactical and Streamlight ProTac HL lights.

Best review on YT, thx!
The new batteries for this light can now be charged with any cell phone cord. The charging shot is right in the battery itself. How neat is that. I like the light so well I ordered a second one, you know 1 is none and 2 is 1 and 3 is better.
I've had the original Protac 2L for almost 7 years (160 lumens). If you're questioning the quality of Streamlight.. for the price they cannot be beaten. I absolutely love the brand and have many of their flashlights.
Good review as always. I have been wanting this to put on an AK with a thorntail mount. The HL was to wide for ring so I have a pro tac 1 on there now. Stearmlight makes great products. All of the kids have the pro tac 1 to carry and I've been carrying the HL sence the winter. Hope this one fits the mount
Is this flashlight rechargeable?
I picked one up a few months ago. I like it a lot. I have the 18650 USB rechargeable battery. The strobe is rough; I get quite a bit splash back from the high and strobe settings.
Filmed in Alabama ?
18650's outperform dual CR123's by every metric you measure flashlight performance… Dual 123's are 6 volts@ 3 amps.. A single 18650 cell is 4.2 volts@ 15 amps.. Therefore dual 123's can supply 18 watts while a single 18650 supplies 63 watts.. A single 18650 Li ion cell is almost four times as powerful as dual 123's. But it gets even worse.. The 123's will only put out that peak wattage for a very short time and then degrade significantly. An 18650 will supply its peak wattage for almost its entire duty cycle and then literally switch off.. There shouldnt even be a debate about which one is the superior power supply for a tactical light.
Thank you so much for this review man! I’m now convinced that the Pro Tac 2L-X is going to be my final decision for a permanent EDC light. I’ve been looking at it for a while now among a ton of others and reviews just haven’t held my attention long enough to help in my decision. Thanks to this review though I’m finally going to pull the trigger on this light. I’m pretty excited about it and even though it’s only 500 Lumens I’m confident that is more than enough to ward someone off. Several of my good friends that are local law enforcement officers carry the 350 Lumen Pro Tac and that’s enough so I should be good to go. Thanks again for the video! I appreciate it and am now a subscriber.
like this EDC~~really good~~
Do you like the 1L AA Streamlight?
Picked one up because if this review and it is excellent!!! Thanks for the info. I'm very happy I got it!!
Sold me. I got mine in the mail today!
I did not think I would need it. Lost my old pro-tac 2 a couple of days ago. Looked everywhere twice. New 2L-x is very bright and needed.
I carry mine every single day (2L-X) — I forget it's even there – I LOVE IT!!
What do you think about the the
Surefire tactician……
What a great light, what do think ofthe Fenix P35TAC?
Made in America over made in commie china if you have the choice. SureFire is made in the USA and that means jobs here!
Could this be mounted on a 556 AR?? Maybe with an Arisaka mount???
Would you use this on a rifle?
Can you mount this to an ar 15? Meaning will it take recoil?
What lake is that?
@ mrgunsngear. Do you think the Streamlight Pro Tac 2 L X is a good option for a light mounted accessory for my AR15? I have seen many videos on this flashlight but all talk about it as an EDC not as a rail accessory. Thanks
