Looks pretty compact, any info on lumens & settings?
I agree, the belt clip looks a bit anemic
If I remember right turbo mode is 960 lumens with a 18650. Double click between medium and firefly mode, triple click for turbo, 4 click for strobe(never use). This light gets hot on turbo. There are 3 fireflies and 3 mediums to choose from. Long press to swap.
The clip works fine, I've never had it come off the light or come out of my pocket. The issue I have with it is the way it's made there is a ledge you hit halfway through clipping it onto your pocket the you have to change the angle of the light and keep pushing to get it all the way in.
Random torch porn: pulled everything out of my truck, my pockets and from my night stand ....
Streamlight ProTac 1L-1aa with rechargeable Klarus CR123s. My original was lost by a coworker and I was without it for two weeks. I bought a ProTac C4 2aaa thinking I would like it as good. I turned it on once and gave it to my FIL. Next time I was around Truprep I didn’t care what it cost I had to have another. Best damn carry light ever in my mind. I also have a Streamlight TLR-1s on my G19. Have had it for years. Also a great light. I’m a big fan of Streamlight’s products.
Only have 2 StreamLight products, both weapon lights; haven't tried any of their torches yet. I've been tempted, but most of their offerings for EDC lights are pretty low in lumens.
My original & very first "high end" light was a Surefire LX2 Lumamax, at the time 200 Lumens was unheard of for small lights, and I guess that's why I paid around $200.00 for it
Now it rides on my 930SPX and has to take standard CR123As
You may get the opportunity to change that VERY soon.....Only have 2 StreamLight products, both weapon lights; haven't tried any of their torches yet. I've been tempted, but most of their offerings for EDC lights are pretty low in lumens.

The TLR series is pretty decent and affordable, I dig my TLR-3 for pistol use due to size and weight

Holy shit. I'm so excited for this thread. Let me take some pictures and get back to you guys tomorrow.
I've been reluctant to open this thread out of fear that the word flashlight was a typo in the title .....
@AirOpsMgr , check out the GAW section. SOMEONE will be sporting a new Streamlight.
Nah, I'm too cheap to have all the coolest new torches. I just nerd out over gadgets. As much as like like firearms, there is not a lot of change and innovation in the industry. So, things like lights, NV gear, and thermal imaging is where I spend most of my research time.
Had to gather mine up for a photo today. The ProTac 2L is my EDC, but it’s crapped out. The 2L-X is brighter and will take an 18650, but it’s just a bit too bulky in my pocket. It stays on the night stand. The mag-lite stays in my desk at work. The Smith & Wesson and the Stanley stay in my truck and the Tascos are stashed around the house. Sams had 3 packs for $20 a while back so I bought a bunch of them. Great bang for your buck.The Stanley was a gift, it’s 1,000 lumens and has a USB port, which I guess is kinda cool. And it will strobe S.O.S. Continuously which will probably come in handy never.
Forgot about this flickering piece of shit. It’s perfect size for edc in the pocket. Too bad it’s a piece of shit.
Did I mention it’s shit?
