Are you searching for a tactical flashlight that delivers exceptional brightness, unmatched versatility, and robust durability for any situation? Whether you're a law enforcement professional, an outdoor enthusiast, a skilled tradesperson, or simply someone who prioritizes reliable illumination, the Streamlight PolyTac X USB is engineered to exceed your expectations. This state-of-the-art lighting tool, available at DEGuns, stands out as a premier choice for those who cannot compromise on performance when it matters most.

Imagine a single flashlight that can seamlessly adapt to your power needs while providing blinding light or extended runtimes for prolonged tasks. This is precisely what the PolyTac X USB offers with its innovative multi-fuel capability and integrated USB rechargeable battery. It’s not just a light source; it's a critical piece of gear designed to be a constant companion in your most challenging missions and adventures.

Why the Streamlight PolyTac X USB is Your Essential Illumination Tool

The Streamlight PolyTac X USB redefines what a high-performance compact flashlight can be. At its core, it's a complete rechargeable system built around Streamlight's advanced 18650 USB battery, featuring an integrated USB charge port for unparalleled convenience. But its true brilliance lies in its "MULTI-FUEL" innovation, empowering users with the flexibility to power the device with either the included Streamlight 18650 USB battery or two CR123A lithium batteries. This ensures that you will literally always have a beam when you need it, eliminating concerns about being left in the dark during critical moments or extended operations.

This isn't just about brightness; it's about intelligent design that anticipates your needs. From its ergonomic grip to its intuitive operation, every aspect of the PolyTac X USB has been meticulously crafted for real-world application.

Powerful Illumination: See Clearly, Act Decisively

At the heart of the Streamlight PolyTac X USB's formidable performance is its advanced C4® LED technology. This state-of-the-art LED is impervious to shock and boasts an impressive 50,000-hour lifetime, ensuring consistent, high-quality light for years to come. The flashlight offers multiple output modes to perfectly match the demands of your task:

• High Mode: Unleashes a powerful 600 lumens of brilliant light, projecting a beam distance of 205 meters with a peak beam intensity of 10,500 candela. This mode is ideal for long-range identification, searching large areas, or disorienting potential threats. It provides ample light for navigating challenging terrain or clearly seeing targets at a distance.
• Medium Mode: Provides a strong 250 lumens, illuminating up to 125 meters with 3,900 candela. This balanced mode is excellent for general tasks, patrols, or when you need significant light without the intensity of high mode, extending battery life.
• Low Mode: Delivers a focused 35 lumens, effective up to 45 meters with 500 candela. Perfect for close-up work, reading maps, or preserving night vision, this mode offers an exceptionally long runtime, making it invaluable for prolonged use in dark environments where minimal light is sufficient.
• Strobe Mode: For tactical signaling or disorienting, the PolyTac X USB includes a high-frequency strobe, crucial for defensive situations or signaling for help.

The smooth parabolic reflector coupled with the glass lens, which is O-ring sealed for protection, optimizes the beam, providing a concentrated hotspot with ideal peripheral illumination. This ensures maximum visibility and situational awareness, whether you're scanning a dark alley or navigating a wooded trail.

Unmatched Power Versatility: The Multi-Fuel Advantage

One of the most compelling features of the Streamlight PolyTac X USB is its Multi-Fuel capability. This innovative design offers unparalleled flexibility in power sources:

• Streamlight 18650 USB Li-Ion Battery: Included with your purchase, this 18650 battery features an integrated micro-USB charging port. This means you can recharge the battery directly using any standard USB wall adapter, car charger, or power bank, eliminating the need for a separate, bulky battery charger. The convenience of USB charging ensures you can power up almost anywhere.
  • Run Times with 18650 USB Battery:
    • High: 2.75 hours
    • Medium: 5.5 hours
    • Low: 36 hours
    • Strobe: 5.5 hours
• CR123A Lithium Batteries: As an alternative, the PolyTac X USB can also accept two 3V CR123A lithium batteries. This is a critical fallback option, ensuring that if you don't have access to a USB charging source or simply prefer disposable batteries for certain missions, your flashlight remains fully functional. This redundancy guarantees you're never without light.
  • Run Times with CR123A Batteries:
    • High: 2.75 hours
    • Medium: 5.5 hours
    • Low: 36 hours
    • Strobe: 5.5 hours

This dual-fuel approach addresses a fundamental user concern: battery dependency. With the PolyTac X USB, you can choose the most convenient power source for your current situation, providing true peace of mind.

Built for the Toughest Challenges: Unwavering Durability

The Streamlight PolyTac X USB isn't just bright; it's virtually indestructible. Its construction utilizes high-impact super tough nylon polymer for the case material. This advanced polymer ensures exceptional durability while providing a secure, non-slip grip, even in wet or gloved hands. All openings are meticulously O-ring or gasket sealed, providing a superior level of ingress protection.

• Waterproof: Rated IPX7, the PolyTac X USB is engineered to be waterproof up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it a reliable tool for use in heavy rain, accidental drops in puddles, or even shallow water crossings.
• Impact Resistance: Designed to withstand the rigors of demanding environments, it is impact-resistant tested to 2 meters. This means accidental drops onto hard surfaces are unlikely to compromise its functionality.
• Corrosion Resistance: The advanced polymer body is naturally resistant to many chemicals and environmental factors that can degrade metal flashlights, ensuring longevity and consistent performance in diverse conditions.
• Serialization: Each unit is serialized for positive identification, a detail that speaks to Streamlight's commitment to quality and traceability, and a feature often valued by professional users.

User-Centric Design: Control and Comfort

Operating the PolyTac X USB is intuitive and efficient, thanks to its multi-function, push-button tactical tail switch. This ergonomic placement allows for momentary or constant-on activation, and easy cycling through lighting modes, even with one hand.

A standout feature for professional users is Streamlight's proprietary TEN-TAP® Programming. This innovative technology allows users to select one of three different operating programs to suit their specific needs:

1. High/Strobe/Low: The standard and most common sequence for general use.
2. High Only: Ideal for tactical situations where immediate maximum output is paramount.
3. Low/Medium/High: Perfect for tasks that require progressive illumination and maximizing battery life.

This programmability ensures that the PolyTac X USB can be customized to individual preferences or specific operational requirements, making it an incredibly adaptable tool for various roles.

Its compact and lightweight design further enhances its usability:

• Length: 5.46 inches (13.87 cm)
• Body Diameter: 1.00 inch (2.54 cm)
• Head Diameter: 1.25 inches (3.18 cm)
• Major Diameter: 1.35 inches (3.43 cm)
• Weight: A mere 4.9 ounces (139 grams) with one Streamlight 18650 USB Li-Ion battery (included in purchase).

These dimensions make it an ideal everyday carry (EDC) flashlight, easily fitting into a pocket, gear bag, or holster without adding unnecessary bulk.
