Unraveling the Power: Key Features & Why They Matter

The Streamlight ProTac HPL USB is packed with features that directly translate into superior performance and peace of mind.

Brilliant Illumination with C4® LED Technology

At the heart of this flashlight is advanced C4® LED technology, delivering a blinding output of up to 1000 lumens. This isn't just about brightness; it's about the quality and reach of the light.

• High (1000 Lumens): Provides intense, wide-reaching illumination perfect for long-range identification or lighting up vast areas. Ideal for situations demanding maximum visibility, with a runtime of 1.5 hours, ensuring critical moments are always well-lit.
• Medium (400 Lumens): Offers a balanced output for general tasks, navigating, or extended use. With a runtime of 3 hours, it's perfect for tasks requiring sustained illumination without draining the battery too quickly.
• Low (65 Lumens): Designed for close-up work, reading, or situations where minimal light is preferred to preserve night vision. An impressive 20-hour runtime makes this mode invaluable for prolonged use in emergencies or camping.
• Strobe Mode: An essential tactical feature, the strobe delivers a disorienting flash pattern for signaling, self-defense, or rapidly attracting attention, with a runtime of 3 hours.

Exceptional Beam Distance for Far-Reaching Clarity

One of the standout attributes of the ProTac HPL USB is its optimized beam distance, reaching an astonishing 1,227 feet (374 meters). This long throw capability is crucial for identifying distant objects, sweeping large areas, or signaling across significant distances, giving you a clear advantage in various scenarios. Whether scanning a field, navigating a long corridor, or searching for a lost item at night, the ability to project light over such a distance is invaluable.

Revolutionary Multi-Fuel System: Uninterrupted Power

Never be caught without light again. The Streamlight ProTac HPL USB boasts an innovative Multi-Fuel system, offering unparalleled power source flexibility. This ensures that you can always find a way to power your light, no matter where you are.

• Streamlight 74175 Li-ion Rechargeable Battery (Included): The primary power source, this custom Li-ion battery, charges conveniently inside the flashlight via an integrated micro-USB port. This eliminates the need for external chargers, simplifying your gear setup and ensuring hassle-free recharging. A full recharge takes approximately 7 hours, indicated by a charge indicator that transitions from red to green upon completion.
• Two CR123A Lithium Batteries (Accepts): For situations where recharging isn't feasible, or as a readily available backup, the flashlight can also operate on two standard CR123A lithium batteries. These are widely available, making them an excellent contingency power source.
• Streamlight Rechargeable 18650 Battery (Accepts): The flashlight is also compatible with a Streamlight-protected button-top 18650 rechargeable battery, offering another high-capacity rechargeable option. This versatility ensures that you have multiple power avenues, adapting to your specific needs and resource availability.

Important Note on Charging: While the flashlight accepts multiple battery types, only the Streamlight 74175 Li-ion battery is designed to be recharged directly within the flashlight's integrated micro-USB port. Other battery types must be charged externally if they are rechargeable.

TEN-TAP® Programming: Customize Your Experience

Streamlight's patented TEN-TAP® programming allows you to personalize the operation of your tactical tail switch to match your specific mission or preference. This intuitive system lets you select from three different operating modes, ensuring the flashlight performs exactly how you need it to, without cycling through unnecessary modes.

1. High > Strobe > Low: The default setting, ideal for tactical applications where instant high output, a disorienting strobe, or a subtle low beam are critical.
2. High Only: Perfect for users who primarily need maximum brightness with a simple on/off function, optimizing for speed and simplicity.
3. Low > Medium > High: A common sequence for general use, allowing for gradual light adjustment from minimal to maximum, preserving night vision or extending runtime.

To reprogram, simply tap the switch quickly 9 times and hold on the 10th tap. The light will cycle through the modes, and you release the switch when your desired mode is active. This user-friendly feature ensures your flashlight is always set for your intended use.

Durability Beyond Doubt: Built for the Toughest Conditions

The Streamlight ProTac HPL USB is not merely bright; it's built to endure.

• Anodized Aluminum Construction: Crafted from high-grade anodized aluminum, the body is not only lightweight but also incredibly robust, resisting corrosion, abrasion, and general wear and tear. This ensures the flashlight maintains its integrity even after repeated impacts and rough handling.
• IPX4 Water Resistance: Engineered to withstand splashing water from any direction, the ProTac HPL USB is rated to IPX4 standards. This means it's highly resistant to rain, splashes, and wet environments, making it suitable for use in various weather conditions without fear of internal damage. A water-resistant metal sleeve cleverly protects the micro-USB charging port when not in use, sliding discreetly below the top bezel to reveal the port when charging is needed.
• Impact Resistance: Designed to absorb shocks and impacts, this flashlight can withstand accidental drops, ensuring its internal components remain protected and operational even after rough handling. This critical feature underlines its reliability in dynamic and unpredictable environments.

The Streamlight ProTac HPL USB comes as a comprehensive kit, providing everything you need to get started and stay powered.

Maximizing Your Streamlight ProTac HPL USB: Tips for Longevity & Performance

To ensure your Streamlight ProTac HPL USB consistently delivers peak performance, consider these simple guidelines:

• Battery Management: While the 74175 Li-ion battery charges internally, be mindful of its 7-hour charge time. For critical operations, ensure it's fully charged beforehand. If using CR123A or 18650 batteries, always carry spares, especially for extended missions or remote locations. Always use protected 18650 cells for safety.
• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the lens is clean for optimal light output. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the anodized finish.
• Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for extended periods, it's advisable to remove the battery to prevent potential leakage, especially with non-rechargeable cells.
• USB Port Care: Always ensure the protective metal sleeve is slid back over the micro-USB port when not actively charging. This prevents dust, dirt, and moisture from entering and damaging the port.
