Leading manufacturer of high-performance lighting equipment, Streamlight® Inc., has released the ProTac® Rail Mount HL-X Pro gun-mounted light, which has an exceptional beam reach of 447 meters, 1,000 lumens, and 50,000 candelas. The new light comes with an inventive Jack-CapTM tail cap switch that allows users to choose between two different battery types and operates as a push-button or remote pressure switch.
With its robust integrated rail clamp, the lightweight, low-profile ProTac Rail Mount HL-X Pro is ideal for quickly and safely mounting to rifles, carbines, and submachine guns that meet MIL-STD 1913 (Picatinny) standards. It may also be used to connect to M-LOK or M-LOK-compatible rail systems by using the accompanying M-LOK® mount. Either one Streamlight rechargeable SL-B26® lithium-ion battery pack or two 3-volt CR123 lithium batteries are used to power it.
The 'whole package' is this latest addition to the ProTac family of weapon-mounted lights, said Ray Sharrah, president, and chief executive officer of Streamlight. With its 50,000 candela and extended beam reach, it not only performs as a high-lumen light but also casts more light on a distant object. This makes it an effective tactical weapon for first responders, law enforcement officers, and military personnel to use while conducting room clearing, search operations, and other maneuvers in low light.
Its unique tail cap switch, which has a connector for a remote pressure switch and a push-button switch, offers switch redundancy.
With a one-handed, snap-on and tighten interface, the new light attaches on a wide variety of weapons safely and securely, allowing users to keep their hands away from the gun muzzle. The optional remote switch comes in momentary only and momentary/latching variants. The light's multi-function, push-button tail switch allows momentary and latching continuous operation. Both enable one-handed use of the light's strobe, continuous on, and momentary on modes.
