Streamlight - PROTAC 2.0 Rail Mount HP Long Gun Light

The Streamlight PROTAC 2.0 Rail Mount HP is designed with tactical precision in mind, offering a high output of 2,000 lumens and 85,000 candela. This powerful illumination is crucial for identifying threats and navigating in low-light conditions. The light's tail cap switch allows for both momentary and constant operation, providing flexibility in various tactical scenarios. Additionally, the optional remote pressure switch enables seamless operation without altering grip, which is vital in high-stress situations.

TEN-TAP Programming offers users three selectable modes: High/Strobe, High Only, and Low/High, enhancing the flashlight's adaptability. This feature allows users to customize the light's output to suit specific needs, whether it's maximizing brightness for threat identification or conserving battery life for extended operations. The ability to switch between modes quickly is particularly beneficial in dynamic environments where lighting needs can change rapidly.

The USB-C rechargeable battery system allows for convenient charging without removing the battery from the weapon. This feature is particularly advantageous in field operations where time and resources are limited. The included Streamlight SL-B50® battery pack ensures that the flashlight remains powered for extended periods, reducing the need for frequent battery changes and minimizing downtime.

The ProTac 2.0 is IP67-rated, making it dust-tight and waterproof to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. This level of protection ensures reliable performance in harsh weather conditions, such as rain or dust storms. Its robust construction from 6000 series machined aircraft aluminum also provides durability against physical impacts, making it a dependable choice for outdoor and tactical operations.

The Streamlight PROTAC 2.0 mounts directly to MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) rails, offering a secure and stable attachment. This compatibility ensures that the flashlight can be easily integrated into a wide range of firearm setups. The availability of a system version that includes a remote pressure switch and M-LOK® mount further expands its mounting options, catering to different user preferences and tactical requirements.

The strobe mode on the ProTac 2.0 is designed for signaling and disorienting threats in tactical situations. With a runtime of 4.5 hours, the strobe can be used effectively to confuse or distract an adversary, providing a tactical advantage. This feature is particularly useful in self-defense scenarios or during operations where non-lethal measures are preferred.

The ProTac 2.0 offers a runtime of 2.5 hours on high mode and 11 hours on low mode. This range of runtimes allows users to select the appropriate setting based on the operational duration and lighting needs. High mode is ideal for short, intense bursts of light, while low mode extends battery life for prolonged use, making it suitable for extended patrols or surveillance.

Constructed from 6000 series machined aircraft aluminum with a Type II MIL-Spec anodized finish, the ProTac 2.0 is built for durability. This robust construction ensures resistance to physical impacts and environmental wear, making it suitable for rigorous use in challenging conditions. Its 2-meter impact resistance further underscores its capability to withstand rough handling during tactical operations.

Using the high mode of the ProTac 2.0 provides maximum brightness and beam distance, ideal for immediate threat identification. However, this comes at the cost of reduced runtime, limiting its use to shorter engagements. In contrast, the low mode offers extended runtime, which is beneficial for prolonged operations but sacrifices some intensity and reach. Users must balance these tradeoffs based on their specific mission requirements and environmental conditions.

The ProTac 2.0 integrates seamlessly with existing tactical gear setups due to its compatibility with MIL-STD-1913 rails. This allows it to be mounted on a variety of firearms without requiring additional adapters. The option to use a remote pressure switch further enhances its integration, allowing for efficient light control without compromising weapon handling. This adaptability makes it a versatile addition to any tactical gear ensemble.
