*Note: This is the newest model with M-Lok Mount and 50k Candela rating!
Why we like these:
We carry Streamlight weapon lights because to us they're the perfect intersection of quality and affordability. These are incredibly bright and extremely tough, and in our opinion the best value on the market.
The ProTac HL-X Rail Mount is an awesome light and one of our favorites. We personally use it on our main rifle and have taken white light night shooting classes with it. Out of the box it now comes with the option to use a pressure switch or a tail cap, and to mount the light via either picatinny OR M-LOK. The new M-LOK mount has an identical angle to the Arisaka mount and will hug the light much closer to your rifle, but keep in mind if you have bulky front iron sights there may be some fitment issues. Nothing that a metal file can't solve... I will try to update this listing soon but reach out if you have questions about this.
This light also features a strobe function that we really like, activated by pressing the switch twice.
We highly recommend pairing with the Cloud Defensive LCS. The LCS helps with cable management and protects the pressure switch, which is the biggest weak point in this light setup.
**Note: We prefer to run these with 18650 batteries (we love these KeepPower with built in USB), however Streamlight seems to have solved the previous issues they had with CR123s.
Pro Tip: Wipe a small amount of CLP or chapstick over the lens of the light before heading to the range. Then for cleanup simply wipe off the carbon.

Streamlight Protac HL-X
My order shipped almost immediately, and everything arrived nicely packaged. As another reviewer noted, these are indeed the updated lights that come with an optional M-LOK mount. My better half enjoyed the candy in the package, too. The light seems well-built and is quite bright. Will be ordering from Panther City Tactical again.

Budget light with high value output
This is just an all around great light. Tape switch mounting sucks (buy a CD LCS) but that is solved by PCT offering the bundle With the LCS. PCT also confirmed that these are indeed the updated mlok mount lights with me directly. Great customer service and fantastic shipping. Thank you for the candy!
