Streamlight ProTac 2.0: Compact Handheld Light

Having a weapon-mounted light on your defensive-use gun is a good idea, but it’s also wise to have a handheld flashlight available. Streamlight covers both those bases, and their ProTac 2.0 is a fantastic example of a compact, easily recharged handheld light. The ProTac 2.0 is small enough to carry in your pocket but powerful enough to identify potential threats. And it comes with the Streamlight name behind it, so you can be confident in its quality.

Streamlight provides details of the light:

…[T]he 2,000-lumen ProTac 2.0, a high-performance rechargeable handheld tactical light, offering extreme brightness and long run times. The rechargeable light is powered by the…Streamlight SL-B50 battery pack that charges directly via an integrated USB-C port.

The ProTac 2.0 uses the SL-B50 proprietary Streamlight 4,900mAh protected Lithium-Ion USB rechargeable battery, accessed by the light’s sliding sleeve. The battery is keyed to ensure proper alignment of the charging port, and features LED status lights to indicate charging status, including red for charging and green for fully charged. An integrated safety circuit protects the battery from accidental overcharge or discharge.

The…light offers the latest in power LED technology for extreme brightness and provides three operating modes – High, Medium and Low.
