The Streamlight 88061 ProTac 1L-1AA is an excellent tactical light! With 350 lumens and dual-fuel versatility (CR123A or AA), it's perfect for any situation. Durable, compact, and easy to use—great for professionals or everyday carry. The bright beam and reliable performance make it a top choice. Highly recommended!

Hands down one of the most versatile and dependable tactical lights I’ve used. The dual fuel capability (compatible with both CR123A and AA batteries) is a game-changer, ensuring I always have a power source available.With 350 lumens, this compact flashlight provides an impressive brightness for its size, offering a focused yet wide beam that’s perfect for work, and EDC use. The TEN-TAP programming allows for easy customization of lighting modes, so I can switch between high, low, and strobe settings based on my needs.Durability is another strong point—constructed with anodized aluminum, it's both lightweight and tough, standing up to drops and rough handling without an issue. The IPX7 waterproof rating means I don’t have to worry about using it in the rain.The pocket clip is sturdy, and the compact size makes it easy to carry without adding bulk. Whether for law enforcement, emergency preparedness, or everyday use, this flashlight delivers top-tier performance. Highly recommended!

I got this light because it uses batteries, NOT usb charging. I occasionally visit places without electricity (or convenient outlets even if they do have it), and can stock up on batteries for long power outages. Relying on usb charging would be silly if thinking about prepping. The CR123 battery gives 40 lumens for 14 hours and 350 lumens for 1 1/2 hrs. I've used mine for three weeks, just briefly each day bringing in firewood from the shed or checking the shop, and on a 5 day trip to a monastery in the mountains with no electricity where I used it more heavily in the early mornings and evenings. Still on the first CR123 battery. The lithium AA battery gives the same 40 lumens for the same 14 hours and 150 for 4 1/2 hours. 40 lumens is plenty for most of my uses but when I need more light, 350 is significantly more power. This light is small enough that I keep it clipped in my back pocket all day every day and it's not noticeable. It comes with low, blinking, and high settings, but you can change that easily, which I did, to get rid of the blinking and just have low and high, which are easily accessed: one click for low, one flash (not click) on and off and back on again for high. I think this is the best general use EDC flashlight I've ever had and I intend to get get a couple more to have around and as gifts.[edit] After another month of steady use of the Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA, I *highly* recommend this light. It's small enough to be conveniently carried clipped in the back pocket, powerful enough (low and high) to be useful in almost all situations, simple enough to adjust to settings that are most useful, and long-lasting enough to be extremely thrifty, AND it doesn't rely on the electrical grid but takes batteries (CR123, AA lithium, or AA alkaline) which are easy to carry as backup and last a LONG time with normal use. I've been using this light for almost two month, just brief use each day and am still on the first battery. It's shockproof and waterproof (or highly water-resistant), has a great cap clip (I use that feature all the time and it works beautifully as it's not too heavy for a ball cap), and the on-off clicker on the end-cap requires just the right pressure, unlike others I've had. This is easily the best ECS light I've ever had. Did I say that before? I should have said it in caps. Did I also mention that I highly recommend it? Yeah, I do. You will not regret getting this light. Streamlight Protac 1L-1AA

This is my EDC flashlight, bar none. Small enough to carry in a front pocket or as I often carry it, clipped inside the pocket of my cargo pants. The hat clip is indispensable for providing hands free illumination on the go. It has literally replaced my usual headlamps for hands free lighting.This flashlight's greatest strength is that it takes disposable CR123A or AA batteries. In the past I bought numerous rechargeable LED lights but have come to find out they are limiting in their usefulness. If you are out and about and the light dies on you, you are stuck until you have time to wait for a recharge, if you even have a place to recharge it. And rechargeable batteries are always low or drained out when you need them most. During hurricane Helene we were without power for 4 days, and I used it constantly to see my way around a darkened house clipped to the brim of my hat.I only needed to carry a spare battery in my pocket. When the battery ran down I had it back up and running in the time it takes to swap out the old one. While AA batteries only work on the lower lumens level, you can find AA batteries everywhere, and everyone has them, so your light will always have power when you need it. Talk about versatility.You can reprogram the light so it comes on low first, then bright on the second click, which is what I did. The lower lumens setting provides longer battery life and plenty of illumination for most purposes and I don't have to double tap to get it to low every time I turn it on. Perfect.Given the size, the availability of replaceable batteries (a must for me now), its durability, clip utility and 10 tap programmability, this would have been the exact flashlight I would have designed if someone gave me a clean slate to work with. I never leave the house without it.
