Powerful Performance in a Petite Package

The Advantages of LED Light
An LED is ideal for a light that gets used on a daily basis. You don't have to worry about breaking the light, since there is no glass or filament, and you rarely have to replace LEDs because they can last a lifetime. Save time and money on batteries as well--they will last much longer with an LED than with a regular light bulb.

C4 Technology Provides Bright, Powerful Illumination
With Streamlight's specially engineered reflector and innovative C4 technology, the PolyTac LED features a brighter, more powerful light than any prior LED on the market. C4 Photonic Crystal technology almost triples the brightness and creates an intense beam that pierces darkness. Solid-state power regulation also maximizes the light output throughout the life of the batteries, producing a consistent illumination level over time.

Push Button for Convenient Operation
Designed for convenience and ease-of-use, the tail-cap push button is quick and simple to use with one hand. Depress the push button slightly for a momentary light, or click the button completely for the constant-on position.

Durably Constructed for Use in Extreme Conditions
Made with high-impact, tough, nylon polymer for exceptional durability and a sure grip, the PolyTac LED is waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes and features an O-ring-sealed borofloat glass lens. The PolyTac LED is ideal for use in automotive, hardware, law enforcement, security, sporting, and outdoor applications.

The Streamlight PolyTac LED Flashlight is backed by a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty.

What's in the Box
Streamlight PolyTac LED Flashlight and two 3-volt CR123A lithium batteries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Light!! April 1, 2010

I purchased this LED light a few weeks ago. I work for a police department and had the Surefire G2 LED on my issued rifle. I used it at the range and deployed on several other occassions. The light was great!! I purchased the Streamlight LED which is 120 lumens compared to the Surefire G2 which is only 80 lumens, I now have the Streamlight polytac on my rifle and love it. It's alot brighter, same size as the G2 but half the prize, I highly recommend this light vs. the Surefire G2! I also own the Streamlight Stinger DS LED light. It is also a great light and also very bright.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surefire Watchout September 3, 2010

By W. Kurtz

Color Name:Coyote|Amazon Verified Purchase

I own a lot of flashlights. Too many really. I only say that because it means I have some basis to say that the Streamlight Poly tac is every bit as good and probably better than my comparable Surefire lights. The Poly tac is a high quality light that is exceptionally bright. The LED is the best that I have seen. The light is white and even. The lumen output seems higher than lights I own that are rated with higher output. This is probably a function of the evenness of the beam and the color but it is very nice. Batteries last a long time, at least as long as the published spec. One of the nicest things about this flashlight is the build quality. All the switches work properly and are very "tight". The light comes across as durable and well made. This stands in contrast to the problems I have had with two of my Surefire lights both of which broke with little use. On each the switching mechanism failed. Each light had a different problem but for the price it shouldn't happen. What I am really saying is that the streamlight is a terrific value. I own another one of their flashlights and it too has worked beautifully. It is well made and functions perfectly. If you are on a budget and really even if you aren't the streamlight is a great choice. If I was going to buy another light like this I would definitely choose this rather than pay the thirty dollar premium for the Surefire.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Handheld Light, not so perfect as a WEAPON LIGHT October 20, 2011

I'm a Squad Leader with the U.S. Army Infantry. It was my intention to test this light out as a weapon mounted light. I had to do a small modification in order for it to work as one.
