Great Gift...
My dad managed to break his old flashlight. Not really sure how. He asked for a new one for Christmas. It needed to be small enough to be held in one hand, light enough to be used while doing other things, bright enough to be able to find things in a dark basement when the power goes out, and he did NOT want rechargeable batteries.On that last point, I think he was talking more about not wanting a light that used a drill power pack, like the ones that come in those combination drill/saw/light type sets. However, when I checked with him he assured me he didn't want rechargeable batteries.So, I settled on this Streamlight after looking at reviews of other similar looking lights on Amazon. Basically, the Amazon users sold me on this light. It hit all of the points he had asked for, and came in at what I felt was a really good price point.When he opened the light on Christmas, he was really interested in getting the light out and testing it out. He opened the package, installed the included batteries, and took to using the light. It's very bright. I'm not really very familiar with other "nice" flashlights so I can't compare, but I do know it's brighter than any of the flashlights I have laying around my house. He really seemed to like the way the light was focused and how bright it was. He took it into the basement and came back to assure me that the light would work for what he needed it for.The quality of the build seems solid. I'm used to flashlights being cheap plastic or metal, so this one being a higher grade type of plastic was different for me, but it felt really good in the hand. The button to turn it off and on seems solid, and the fact that it came with batteries is a big plus.Overall, my dad really likes the light, and I think it seems like a pretty good product. The only problem?? I now want one for myself!!!

Let there be LIGHT!
Let's face it: The number of "tactical" flashlights on Amazon is TOO DAMN HIGH! Lol! There are simply too many choices. Plus, you've got all this no-name-brand Chinese crap and it's difficult to tell which flashlight the reviews actually apply to.After a few hours of painful research, I "settled" on the Streamlight brand. The company seems legit, they aren't going to fold overnight, and the light comes with a limited lifetime warranty. This Polytac seemed the best for my application (mounting a few on an IWI Tavor and a couple of AR-15s, all using off-set Picatinny mounts).Here's what I don't like:- Removing the o-ring in order to remove the pocket clip (which is necessary to mount the light in a 1-inch mount) was a pain. I was able to do it, but I was very worried I'd nick the o-ring or cut it in the removal process. It's on tight.- All tactical flashlights should feature some redundancy or versatility with their power source. I think the lights should be able to use AA, AAA, or the lithium batteries. Only a few lights I've seen do this, but I think it should be a design feature for any light where you might need options in a pinch.- I don't like my flashlights to have complicated modes that rely upon the speed of the operator to click a button twice fast, or three times fast, and to remember how many times and when. Jesus, who could do this under fire-- even with training? Glock is the one manufacturer I've seen who got this right with their flashlight-laser combo. There's a three-way switch with three tiny diagrams on the unit so you can select the mode you want once the light is activated. They even eliminated the language barrier with this physical toggle. Brilliant! As for the Streamlight, I absolutely cannot activate the low-beam setting-- even after fooling with the light for 20 minutes and trying to reprogram it. I can get high-beam and strobe, but that's all. I'm not happy with the fact that I can't use low-beam because it dramatically improves the battery life.- The price is a little high for what you get. I don't think this is American made, so the price is nearly twice as high as similar Chinese-made lights.Here's what I like:+ The flashlight is very lightweight.+ The button on the back clicks with authority, isn't mushy, and feels solid.+ The plastic housing has a nice texture and feel. I also think the off-set mount I'm using grips it nice and snug without scratching or damaging the flashlight case were it metal.+ The flashlight is very bright and has a solid beam (meaning, unlike some lights were you have to do a lot of focusing to get right of the dark spot or spots, this light just has a solid and bright beam center).I'm keeping the flashlight and actually ordering another.

An excellent, reasonably priced, tactical flashlight! Buy with confidence!
I recently decided I needed an additional flashlight, but hate the idea of spending hundreds (literally) on another SureFire. Considering the amazing performance I have experienced with the Streamlight ProTac 2AA, I decided to consider this Streamlight PolyTac 600, which was an excellent decision.Key points:- Very bright.- The three-mode operation is excellent and covers any situation (high, strobe, low).- Accepts and works very well with my rechargeable 123A lithium phosphate Surefire batteries.- Lightweight polymer construction with very grippy surface.- The clip is quite usable and I don't intend to remove it.- Could be weapon mounted, but, I'll leave my old Surefire assigned that role and carry this around instead.I would not hesitate to buy another, and I recommend this to others as a great alternative to the overpriced Surefire products.

This is a versatile flashlight for the money.
The reason I like this light is the springs on both sides of the batteries. I think this feature makes this light reliable, and it protects the batteries against shock. If this light is stored in a vehicle, or somewhere where if will take a lot of vibration, it will hold up well. This light is very light weight. it is so light that you forget that you are carrying it. The clip is prone to bending. I think it would be better if it were on the tail cap side instead of the bezzle side. I have found it is best to remove the clip, carry it in a pouch or a bag instead of using the clip in a pocket. Because of the polymer construction, I do not believe the body will take multiple drops on to hard surfaces, especially in cold weather. I like that there a few choices in colors, and the batteries can be found in most department stores. My final thoughts are it is a great light to keep in a car, around the house, or in a carry bag.
