Choosing a Streamlight PolyTac

The famous brand Streamlight has always been considered as a "hands-on" company by many shooters and hunters alike. The company was first started out trading back in 1973, which has given them decades to perfect many of their most beautiful accessories. The manufacturers and engineers at Streamlight are known to take part in rigorous training for firefighting and have also spent time with fishers, sports, and outdoor enthusiasts, and even huntsmen to perfect their products. Dabbling in real-world experiences, it has led Streamlight to brand new ideas and bespoke innovations that set Streamlight apart from their competition.

The Streamlight Polytac Flashlight has been designed to be super tight and is built for high-level impact with its resistant polymer housing. The nylon polymer body works flawlessly and provides an incredible level of durability to the flashlight and is also O-ring sealed at all openings which allow for a high level of weather resistance. The LED technology is not affected by shock and is capable of provides up to 275 lumens of illumination, which is incredibly generous from such a lightweight flashlight. This Flashlight is not only exceptionally lightweight in comparison to other popular flashlights on today’s market, but it’s also robust, durable, bright, and is an ideal flashlight for a significant number of different applications.

The Streamlight PolyTac Flashlight is part of Streamlight's impressive and incredibly popular tactical line of lightweight LED flashlights and now features two different brightness settings. The PolyTac Flashlight from Streamlight has explicitly been manufactured for high performance, which is excellent news for individuals who like to give their equipment a hard time. The 1.7-inch diameter of the flashlight’s head that features on the Streamlight PolyTac comes with a deep reflector that has been specially engineered to focus the light from the flashlight’s LED into a bright and powerful beam that is capable of projecting light up to 902 feet away. The Streamlight PolyTac Flashlight is capable of running for up to 56 hours (on a low setting) on just two regular CR123 lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are known to come with a 10-year shelf life and are also great performers during extreme temperatures, which is excellent news if you are planning on stocking up on them.

The PolyTac line from Streamlight utilizes polymer technology for their product’s housing rather than the more commonly found machined aluminum. This is because the polymer is solid and lighter in weight when compared to the likes of aluminum. The PolyTac from Streamlight features a more massive head which allows for further beam reach than the regular PolyTac flashlight, but the great news is, despite the more massive head, it can still be pocket carried around with ease.

What people are saying about the Streamlight PolyTac

Can'tCan't beat it for the price.

 I bought this Streamlight PolyTac flashlight during a sale. It is light but not cheap. I was skeptical about this light, considering it went on an ar15 pistol. This light works very well, and I have torture tested it. At 275 lumens, it works perfectly for building clearing and to avoid shooting a friendly target when things go bump in the night. You can pick up a 1-inch flashlight Picatinny mount for about 8 to 10 bucks. At those prices, it is a win-win.

The back opens easily to provide access to the dual a23 batteries (supplied)

wow - what a high-quality led light. Right when you unpack it, you feel how solid it is in your hand. The back opens easily to provide access to the dual a23 batteries (provided). The lamp is powerful. Quickly brings daylight to wherever you need it, and the beam is focused enough to hit a small spot up close but also still bring high brightness at 10-15 yards. The low-power and strobe functions are a nice feature, and the single robust button makes the three services easy to select; it actuates smoothly and efficiently. My only complaint was in removing the pen clip. I was able to easily remove the bulb portion and access the threaded end of the central canister but was very concerned that I would sever the o-ring that sits in between the pen clip and the threads. In other words, you have to scrape the pen clip over the o-ring to remove the pen clip. I needed to do so to mount it to my firearm, and was worried I would compromise the o-ring in the process.Other than that, what a beautiful bulb.

 Reliability and durability At a great price. 

 I love this Streamlight PolyTac flashlight. I have about 5 or 6 of these flashlights. I have at least three on my rifles. I use 1 for work (night shift) as a backup for my Stinger, and 1 in my truck. I think I have on my desk... for emergencies. It 'sits a perfect size, brightness, and price for me. Battery life is excellent. I'veI've have not needed to change the batteries for the light I use for work in over a year. I love this flashlight.

This Streamlight PolyTac flashlight is fantastic. It takes a little bit of time getting used to the half tap feature to get to strobe and half brightness, but once you do, it'sits pretty intuitive. I love the protruding rubber switch; it 'sits just as strong as the rest of the light. The brightness lights up a whole backyard when needed, and inside would be blinding to an intruder. The battery life is what surprised me the most; I got three months pretty heavy use out of these batteries before I noticed them getting dimmer. Then another month and a half before they ultimately died. This thing has been in flood conditions, in mud, stepped on, dropped more times than I can count, and I have zero problems with this flashlight, and it still operates as good as day one (albeit, it'sits a little dirtier than it was on day one). I would recommend this flashlight (and I have) to anybody who wants a great EDC flashlight.

 Great Light - Very bright and lightweight

 I really like the broad lighting pattern on this light. A right combination of full light for illuminating your immediate area and focused lighting for seeing up ahead. Bonus is the small clip that allows you to attach to a hat bill for hands-free use. A little heavy for extended use on the hat bill, but would work great as a task light. Highly recommend

Streamlight quality, trustworthy, reliable, and well made.

Best flashlight brand on the market hands down. Have a Stinger XT that that's been my trusted back up light for 18 years, a dependable flashlight that's never failed me. Please have one of this Streamlight PolyTac, I keep in my truck for emergencies. I bought this new one as a gift for a family member. Great little lights that are well built and simple to use. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a solid, reliable light.
