Streamlight PolyTac 1X Compact Multi Fuel Flashlight
The Streamlight PolyTac® 1X is a compact, tactical flashlight built for durability and performance in extreme conditions. This multi-fuel flashlight offers unmatched versatility, operating on a Streamlight SL-B9 protected Li-Ion USB rechargeable battery, a CR123A lithium non-rechargeable battery, or a standard AA alkaline or lithium non-rechargeable battery – so you can recharge at home, carry a CR123A in your kit, or grab an AA from just about anywhere and stay lit. Delivering up to 500 lumens and an 18,000-candela beam that reaches 268 meters, it’s engineered for law enforcement, military, industrial professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, and everyday carry alike.
Designed with a rugged, high-impact nylon polymer body and a rocky stipple grip texture for secure handling, the PolyTac 1X is built to replace metal lights in situations where an alternative material is preferred. Its BOROFLOAT glass lens resists heat and impact, while O-ring seals keep water out – earning it an IPX7 waterproof rating and impact resistance to 3 meters. It’s compact enough for pocket carry yet robust enough for duty use, and it’s Made in the USA.
