Streamlight protac 2aaa: an "everyday carry" dtandard - Streamlight ProTac 2AAA Professional Tactical Light

It’s hard to say enough about my Streamlight ProTac 2AAA. I have had mine for two years now and it’s indispensable.
I have been a fan of Streamlight products since I purchased a Boxlite in 1997. I now own an Ultrastinger, Stinger HL, Strion, Strion HL, and my ProTac. I will be adding a Stinger DS LED HPL very soon. There is not one single design element I would change about my ProTac. It is extremely well designed and that make is easy to operate. My ProTac goes in my pocket every morning, even before my wallet or phone. In fact, there have been times I discovered I forgot my phone and continued on my way. However, if my ProTac is not with me, I turn around and go back home to get it. The pocket clip allows me to carry it with approximately one inch of the butt exposed, which allows for easy deployment. The amount of light it produces is very impressive for its size. Inside our home, my ProTac produces light that easily rivals the fixture lighting. Outside in the open, it provides more than enough illumination to safely navigate areas where secure footing is questionable. The light is visible on my neighbor’s home almost six-hundred yards away. Its compact size not only makes it easy and convenient to carry, it is advantageous when light is needed in a small or tight area, such as working under the hood. It cycles through the different lighting modes precisely and without much attention. My ProTac has been abused very badly, yet it is as dependable as the day I first purchased it. It has taken impacts serious enough to cause a bur. All I have ever been required to do was smooth it down with sandpaper or a fine file and it was business as usual. Streamligh’s guarantee is also comforting, although I have only had to use it with my Ultrastinger when it fell out of a road tractor for about the tenth time when the lens finally cracked. It was returned by Streamlight less than three weeks later with a new lens at no charge.
One consistent quality I have found about Streamlight; it seems they always understate the capabilities of their products. It appears that Streamlight intentionally states specs for their products that are well below what their products are capable of. Their lights not only meet the listed performance figures, they easily surpass what I expected based on the official literature.
