This is the Streamlight Protac 90 flashlight, and when I first saw it on their website I was intrigued. Most people I know don’t use a 90 degree flashlight, but this one (I think) is worth considering. It has 3 outputs, 3 different settings, and the 300 lumen output really gives some solid lighting, even at some distance. Check out the video and let me know what you think.

It looks like a person in a sleeping bag when it is in its sheath.😆
they have a new model with. the 18650 batteries system they have. see if they will let you compare the two. I have this one you have and looking to upgrade for the ability to recharge.
Does Streamlight offer a magnetic tailcap for this light?
CR123 or AA? Ah, okay stay with my zebralight hl.. best of the best hl
Nice flashlight great review thanks for posting atb👍
300 lumens is plenty of light, very versatile very nice
i own this light and its pretty nice.
mine is strapped to my backpack shoulder in hi mode only
i run a 14500 li-ion (aa sized) rechargeable and streamlight said that was fine. i have more of those than 16340 (cr123a sized rechargeable) which also work well, and i get good runtime and 300 lumens
very good battery versatility
i dont remember what i was doing but i broke the pocketclip. streamlight will send you another clip.
the rear mounted activation button is nice sometimes, but top mounted activation headlamps are nice at times as well.
the rear mounted button is very nice for handheld use, but not as easy when strapped to a pack. the button is stiff so no real accidental discharges
i liked carrying mine in my rear left pocket but thats where i always like my lights
it is definitely one you could shrinkwrap some rare earth magnets to the pocketclip or tailcap if you wanted extra utility and adjust the pocket clip position to stand and illuminate your work area
My pockets look like that too! 😀
So sad the lowest setting is 40. Looks like a really solid option, but I need a moonlight/firefly/whatever option. Don't need a strobe though. Thanks for reviewing!
Hey! What’s the best survival/knife subscription box?:)
Good review Tim, I think the Fenix LD15R has a bit more to offer than this streamlight. The LD15R has built-in micro USB recharge an red light. I think the LD15R even has a more diffused beam with TIR optic.
Red lens would be nice.
I wouldn’t mind a 90deg version of my ProTac 2LX I like having the option of either 2 CR123 or 1 18650 rechargeable and a few more lumens it would be a bit bulkier but not unreasonable to carry in a pocket.
Nice job Tim. Would be a good light for camping, fishing, or walking. Has nice big hotspot and useable spill. Just wish it took 18650 which would give incredible run times. Thx for sharing Tim
