[acc] $100 - Streamlight ProTac Railmount 1 Long Gun Light - 88058

Russtop@reddit

They just released the protac rail mount 1l-x with 850 lumens for pretty much the same price.

350 lumens, yeesh. I would pay $30 more for the 1000 lumen.

I have one on my home defense gun for the lower lumen output. I don't want to blind myself if I hit a reflective object if I ever go to using it. I think the real draw might be the option to use AA batteries. You know, for the TEOTWAWKIBOOGALOOSHTF times when batteries become scarce.

It’s a really good option for 9mm pccs and shotguns

True, some light is better than no light.

This is Streamlight’s old single CR123 battery light, 350 lumen only. It’s pretty outdated at this point, though it does have a niche setup where you need a scout mount light, but want as small a form factor as possible, like on a MP5K.

From my personal preference, if you’re after a scout style rail mount light, I strongly recommend spending the extra 20-50 bucks for the HLX, HLX pro, or ProTac 2.0 (NOT the ProTac Rail Mount 2).

You’ll be at 1000–1500 lumens for a slightly longer rail light.

If the single cell form factor is what you need, then I recommend the TLR rail mount instead. 500 lumens, in a smaller format, even with a picatinny m-lok adapter.

I got the new Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 1L-X (not to be confused with the RMs lol). It’s smaller than the regular one, it’s 850 lumens, and uses the same recharge battery as the TLRs. I’m liking it.

Where’d you get the light from? Planning on putting one on my pcc but didn’t know if it finally released

Vilkvan@reddit

Optics Planet has the pro kit with the pressure switch for $130

onyourleftbro@reddit

Gunmagwarehouse has it with the pressure switch for 120.

Berry_Micockiner@reddit

This also takes AA batteries.

What’s the point of 350 lumens?

[-]

geofoode@reddit

350 lumens is good so you don’t blind yourself at night. Other than that, I’m not sure.

[-]

AscendantJustice@reddit

It's 350 more than 0 lumens.

[-]

NFAGhostCheese@reddit

Infinitely more light

[-]

Fearless-Jeweler-318@reddit

it was decent for a weapon light 10 years ago when it was launched

[-]

justjaybee16@reddit

Honestly, if it was cheaper, it would probably be fine for a PCC that's being used for HD. I know we're all chasing Lumens/Candela out here, but 350 lumens is fine for most indoor applications.

FL_Heat863@reddit

Is it worth $100 plan on putting it on my shotgun

[-]

DoughnutSnake@reddit

Don't know why everyone needs 9001 lumens in all there lights... but like others have said its a good price for what it is and I grabbed 2 during the last sale, one for a PCC and one for a shotgun, neither of which need to do anything more then be reliable and light up a room. I'd go for the amazon special light but reliability leaves the room. These are also not my main squeeze so not like I'm grabbing them in a shtf situation.

Financial-Sir-6021@reddit

These are good just the HLXs aren't much more.

[-]

Panthean@reddit

I know people hate this light, but it's small size really comes in clutch on certain guns.

Every light I tried on my 11.5" always got in the way, but this light just fits perfectly.

I get that it isn't 1k lumens, but 350 lumrns is not nothing. I'd rather have a dimmer light that doesn't get in the way, than more lumens with a light that interferes with my grip.

[-]

comradekopala@reddit

I have one I bought like 9 years ago, but also paid like 80 bucks for it.

I think its just dated at this point and needs a refresh.

[-]

GERMAN0024@reddit

I know everyone so far doesn't like these, but these are not bad on sub guns / PCCs. Is there better lights, absolutely, but these are smol and are scout pattern.

[-]

MostlyOkPotato@reddit

Because everyone here is jumping on "It's only 300lm", you're not wrong about that, but it's also the smallest, lightest ProTac. And the Candella (the focused beam output) is still fairly high for the size it has. It's also dual fuel, which is nice.

If you're building a lightweight small PDW type thing, this one _might_ be what you want.
