abunda_amazon_reviews I've had it just long enough to charge the batteries at this point. Fit and finish is great. The beam is wide/flood like, but has plenty of distance. Beam color is clean and natural looking. This is the brightest flashlight I've ever used. Hope it lasts as long as the other streamlight I own. Picture is of low, medium, and high at approx 50 to 60 yards.;;Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Awesome!;;Brian Mabry;;/gp/customer-reviews/R23XCRD3HF9ZFW/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B079D3DDGB;;;First off, I have been a cop for 12 years and work patrol. My last light was a stream light and lasted a decade. This one on the other hand is unreliable and NOT SAFE for anyone on patrol. The light fails to turn on about 30 percent of the time, and randomly shuts off. For anyone that works patrol, you know this makes an unsafe situation (There is nothing worse than looking for a suspect in the dark when your light fails). I spoke with Amazon customer support, and they said since the light is past the 30 day window there is nothing they can do. I stayed on hold with streamlight for an extended period of time, only to wait for an e-mail that never arrived. In short, if you are a patrol cop DO NOT BUY.;;Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2019;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Not safe for cops working patrol. No quality of craftsmanship;;ken;;/gp/customer-reviews/R3VOT68PKIVK7T/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B079D3DDGB;;;This is the best light in the car or hanging near the back portch door in your house. Built Rock Solid! Does not get too hot. Has incredible throw with a balanced cone of light. Programmable settings allow you to get rid of that terrible strobe setting if you don’t need it. Set mine to go Low - Med - High. Other lights make you click through all these terrible blinding strobe or SOS patterns before you can get back to a low beam. Streamlight built this Flashlight Right! Price is higher to get the 18650 batteries with the built in charger, but totally worth it. Price got very high when my wife said she wants one hanging at every exit door in the house and in both cars. Don’t get lured into some small light with higher lumins, they get hot real fast and shut down, they Burt my hand. The ProTac HL 5-x has a great rubber grip and large aluminum bell housing around the bulb to disperse the heat from the bulb. Buy it! Just don’t show it off to the wife, she just might say order 5 more...;;Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Make your old Maglight 4-D cell flashlight Cry. This light owns the Night;;Big Bear Prepper;;/gp/customer-reviews/R3K05OZS8XZ2NN/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B079D3DDGB;;;I purchased the Protac HL-X. I was so impressed with that light I thought I'd give the HL5-X a try. A one word description would have to be Unbelievable. The design is fantastic. You can feel the quality when you hold this light. It is well balanced and the rubberized grip is really nice. It is a bit large to carry on your duty belt but I do wish they offered a drop in nylon holster for this if you know you are going to be using it away from your vehicle. The brightness of this light is way more powerful than the high beams on just about any vehicle. I would say about 4 times as bright as the high beams on my work truck. I can understand why they didn't opt for a tail switch on this since you will hold this light differently than a tactical torch. I passed this light around to my co-workers at the office and they were amazed at the intensity this thing puts out. Definitely not for up close work. I carry 3 torches for work, each for different applications. On my belt I carry a Maglight XL-50 for working on electronics and a Streamlight Protac HL-X for examining mass transit units and for general use at 100 yards or less. And now I carry this Streamlight Protac HL5-X in my gear bag for everything else the other 2 aren't capable of. 3500 lumens will light up the side of a 4 story building at 200 yards. Just buy it, you will not be disappointed.;;Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;More than amazing, Unbelievable.;;Joe Gonzalez;;/gp/customer-reviews/R3MNYDK598NYAK/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B079D3DDGB;;;So this flashlight wasn’t my first choice but it was what I could get delivered before leaving for a hunting trip. Overall it’s a decent light, however, I have had severe issues with the battery life. The batteries are lithium ions with a micro USB plug in them. Upon receipt of the light, I fully charged them but only got about 10 minutes of run time out of them before they died. I fully recharged and continue to have the same result. It’s possinle that I just got some dud batteries but frustrating either way. I also don’t like that you have to open the light and remove the batteries to charge them. So far as the light itself, it’s bright but the beam is too wide for my taste. This light is definitely not a “thrower” that is valid for long range as the beam spreads out too much for any usable light at a distance. Inside of 50 yards this light will blind the snot out of someone but that’s about the range extent due to the optics. I had originally planned to keep the light in my truck but, because of the battery life, it stays next to the back door to see the dogs when they are out in the yard. They seem unimpressed even when I yell at them and put it on strobe mode! For the price I would have expected more. I am a military veteran and retired police officer. I feel like I’ve had a million flashlights in my time. Some I loved... some I threw in the garbage. This light is somewhere in between.;;Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2018;;3.0 out of 5 stars;;Mediocrity Illuminated!;;Digital- PA;;/gp/customer-reviews/R22N431H6FCCOT/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B079D3DDGB;;;All I have to say is damnnn!!!!! This thing is stupid bright!!! Videos does not do any justice, you have to see it in persons! Made my 5 year old reliable Streamlight Stinger look like a cheap little Mag light! Hands down amazing flashlight, love it so far, highly recommend anyone to get a Nitecore for example 18650 smart charger vs the cheap USB cable they provide to charge the 18650. Also very happy the flashlight is NOT a knockoff, I was really worried at first because of other Streamlights some Amazon customer are getting being fakes but I made sure and did my research, what I got is an authentic Streamlight so thanks to the seller and Amazon for delivering the real deal!;;Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Wow!!!;;E;;/gp/customer-reviews/R2IUAUJSNX35W8/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B079D3DDGB
