This is one of the best compact flashlights I have ever purchased. The high power function is fantastic. Very easy to switch from very bright high power to the energy conserving low power setting. Great value and would highly recommend. I have purchase additional streamlight products after purchasing this light.

This flashlight is great and the best small light I have ever had the opportunity to use. 600 lumens is a lot for a little pocket light.

I am amazed that a flashlight this small can cast a beam of light like this one does in high mode. If it is truly waterproof like they say it is, then this is the best flashlight I have ever owned.

Pros:  Super Bright and reasonable price
Cons:  A little wide for in-pocket carry, clip slips on.
Would recommend:  yes

Super bright light. Transitions to modes are fast but easy to learn. Don't like cycling through strobe to get to low. High can cause some splash back. Wish the clip was a little more secure. Belt carry can cause it to pop off the clip, so pocket carry is the alternative and it's a little wide for my pocket. Overall it's a great light and will probably go from EDC to a pack or kit or car or bedside. Super bright and worth the money!

Pros:  Bright, compact size, standard batteries
Cons:  Wont work with Streamlight Strion Flashlight Gun Rail Mount 74200
Would recommend:  yes

This is a very nice extremely bright tactical light. My objective was to be able to bump the light if needed in a tactical situation and it is perfect for that role. It is approximately 1" in diameter so you will need to do your homework to get an accurate Picatinny rail mount. Was hoping the Streamlight Strion Flashlight Gun Rail Mount 74200 would work but no cigar. (~.8 in)

This is the brightest light I've seen in such a small flashlight. I really like the high/low settings. Took me a few minutes at first to figure out the double and triple tap to adjust the settings between high, strobe and low. Figure this may be an issue with gloves on, but haven't tried it yet. Other than the switch being a little tricky, this light is extremely bright.

Pros:  Very bright, nice size, price
Cons:  should have 3rd option of low beam instead of 2 options
Would recommend:  yes

Bought this as a carry and tactical light if and when I decide to attach it to my weapon. The light is ultra bright and once you get the tap down with practice, the strobe/high beam is a great combo. The one drawback is you only have 2 options that I could find. Strobe/High and Low/High. I feel you should be able to task between the 3 options. Overall very satisfied with the quality, price and light itself. Streamlight ProTac HL LED is a best buy for the money!
