Streamlight expands emergency lighting portfolio with new ProTac series
Streamlight has announced two new high-intensity additions to its ProTac range, combining power, beam distance and durability for professional users.
The company launched the ProTac HP-X USB, the ProTac HP-X and the ProTac 2.0 HP, expanding its emergency lighting range for tactical, rescue and industrial applications.
All three handheld flashlights are designed to deliver focused beams and long-distance illumination, built to withstand demanding operational conditions.
Michael F. Dineen, President of Streamlight, said: “The new ProTac HP-X series delivers the high intensity beams and versatility that professionals such as those in law enforcement, search and rescue, security, and industrial operations depend on.”
He added: “Whether powered by USB rechargeable or disposable batteries, these lights provide robust, long-distance illumination with the durability and features our users have come to expect.”
ProTac HP-X and HP-X USB deliver focused high-candela beams
According to Streamlight, the ProTac HP-X USB and ProTac HP-X both produce 800 lumens and 105,000 candela, giving a beam distance of 648 metres.
The ProTac HP-X USB model includes a Streamlight SL-B26 rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack with an integrated USB-C charging port.
It provides up to 31 hours of run time and can recharge fully in five hours.
The ProTac HP-X version operates on two CR123A lithium batteries, offering flexibility for users who prefer disposable options and providing up to 24 hours of use.
Both models include a multi-function tactical tail cap switch with TEN-TAP programming, offering selectable modes including high/strobe/low, high only, or low/medium/high.
Each flashlight features an anti-roll face cap, a removable pocket clip, and a durable holster.
The lights are built from 6000 series machined aircraft aluminium with a Type II MIL-Spec anodised finish, making them impact-resistant to two metres and IP68-rated for dust-tight and waterproof operation.
ProTac 2.0 HP offers greater brightness and range
Streamlight said the new ProTac 2.0 HP produces 2,000 lumens and 85,000 candela, providing nearly five times the distance output of its predecessor.
The flashlight features three modes – High, Medium and Low – with run times ranging from 31 hours on Low to 2.5 hours on High.
Its strobe function offers a two-hour duration.
The ProTac 2.0 HP is powered by the Streamlight SL-B50 rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a sliding sleeve for access and an integrated USB-C charging port.
The battery includes LED indicators for charge status and a safety circuit to prevent overcharge or discharge.
Dineen said: “This latest addition to the ProTac series of tactical handheld lights provides first responders, security units, outdoor enthusiasts, and others a light that combines balanced brightness – both distance illumination and ultra-bright light – without sacrificing run times.”
He added: “Users will appreciate the convenience and ease of charging the battery pack either inside or outside of the light.”
The flashlight measures 15.5 centimetres in length, weighs 234 grams with the SL-B50 battery, and is IP67-rated for dust-tight and waterproof operation to one metre for 30 minutes.
Durable design across the ProTac series
All three lights share Streamlight’s emphasis on durability and operational versatility.
Each model is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminium and impact-tested to two metres, designed for professional use in search, security and emergency lighting scenarios.
The ProTac 2.0 HP and HP-X models include anti-roll heads, gasket-sealed lenses and holsters for field reliability.
Relevance for fire and safety professionals
Streamlight’s new ProTac models provide options for fire and rescue services, industrial site operators and emergency response teams requiring reliable high-candela illumination for low-visibility environments.
The combination of rechargeable and disposable power options supports deployment in varied operational settings, from confined-space searches to long-term incident response.
The high beam distances and water-resistant designs make the ProTac range suitable for inspection, search and rescue, and perimeter control where visibility and endurance are critical.
Procurement teams responsible for equipment selection may find the models relevant for standardising lighting tools across mixed emergency response fleets.
