89000 ProTac 2.0 2000-Lumen 17300 Candela Rechargeable Tactical LED Flashlight with USB C Cable, and Holster, Box, Black

Surefire has been my ‘go to’ for decades. When both failed it was time for a new purchase. Streamlight have a solid 50 year reputation for making robust, quality equipment. The price of Surefires nowadays is simply astronomical and this great torch was a clear winner. Very happy with this purchase.

If you need a great flash light, this is it. It is expensive but you are getting an above average flashlight. If you are a hunter, I strongly recommend this light. It easily illuminates up to 100 yds. I like the size, quality, ease of use, durability, and battery life. Do recommend, would buy again.

One thing I love about this flashlight are the 3 separate modes you're able to use when turning on the flashlight. - High - Strobe - Low In my profession, I mostly ever use high. However, the other options are great. This flashlight does have the tendency to get hot quickly so be mindful when operating. It is a re-chargeable USB-C battery that appears to be custom made, so if it ever loses its ability to hold charge you'll likely have to order another through Streamlight.

I really like the size of this flashlight, not too big or too small, and for 2000 lumens, it performs amazingly well. The USB-C rechargeable battery is a big plus, and it shines very brightly. The packaging also comes with clear instructions. I’m an airline pilot, and I tested it during a nighttime aircraft walk around. It lit up everything perfectly. Highly recommended for any fellow pilot who needs a reliable, powerful light.

I most like the long battery life and the size. I'm glad they still use a crystal lens instead of plastic. I'm happy that it uses USB like most of my other devices. I don't like that the charging port cover isn't more secure. Other brands have a screw closed port that is much better. Also, the charging port it just the one on the battery. Streamlight just left a hole in the side of the flashlight barrel and then put a cheap sliding cover over it. Weird. If water gets in, it would go directly into the battery compartment. Also perhaps, because the usb c port is the one on the battery itself, it lacks the internal equipment for any sort of fast charge..it takes just over 6 hours to charge this light and that doesn't seem to change when using a fast charger. I really don't like that hole they left leading to the battery charging port. On previous models there were internal charging circuits independent of the convenient direct to battery charging port. The internals were much safer from exposure to the elements. They send to have combined four LEDs rather than using one superior one. It only has so-so better life from the annoying proprietary battery that is over $50 Canadian to replace. There are batteries that are more readily available that are also superior to this one at a much lower price. Streamlight wants you to have to buy any extras or replacements from them. The beam is very wide. A flood, I'd say. The 2000 don't seem as bright as they should as a result. Fit also drops down from that maximum very quickly. It comes with a pocket clip and a holster that is also fine. I use this light working security and I find the included holster is good enough to not motivate me to buy a nicer one. I like it enough. The tail switch is too recessed. You have to use it to see what I mean the protac hl-usb has the perfect tail switch, in my opinion, to compare. Anyway.... For the price.... It's just okay. If you want something from streamlight specifically that offers usb charging and decent bettery life... This is good enough. But not at the price. The flashlight is smooth and offers very little grip..so little that it slides in my hand when I operate the switch. Especially when I'm wearing gloves. The threads for the tailswitch are shallow and not long enough. I put grip tape, like for making stairs safer from slipping on, around it. That fixed that.. I'll post pictures. The charging port still opened perfectly. I'd recommend the HL-X over this light. The hl-x uses inexpensive 18640 batteries that are easy to find. The HL-X so allows for the use of cr123 batteries in a pinch, which I like. It is also a better size to carry, less expensive, has a way higher peak candela, despite its max lumens being half the protac 2.0. it's also fully sealed from the elements.... No external charging port. The threads are also deeper and there are more of them. It's really a better light. Pocket clip that works.either direction and a better tailswitch. Even the grip is good.

Design is great. Easy, water resistant access to the battery. The 10 tap button function is interesting and does it's job. Super bright and matches it's counterpart that is mounted. Includes compact carry case as well to add to your belt. I've had it for a month and the battery is still running a great charge. Well worth.
