A capable flashlight is a cornerstone of many people's EDC, but you'll find that most come with a hidden cost. You can end up spending a lot of time and money replacing the specialty batteries they use after burning through them. Dealing with dead batteries won’t be a problem with the Streamlight ProTac HL USB. As its name implies, this light recharges at any available USB port or charger you have on hand. It's simple and convenient, and the best part is that you won't have to do it often—a full charge of its 18650 battery lasts 12 hours at 85 lumens on low. Need something brighter? The ProTac HL USB’s C4 LED also puts out a blazing 850 lumens on high. Its rear tail switch offers quick switching between modes, and a deep side clip lets you easily pocket this water- and shockproof light anywhere you need it. Make this flashlight a part of your everyday carry today at the link below.

Best work flashlight I have ever bought. I've dropped this light off a 10 foot ladder, still works. I've dropped it in milk of lime, and mud. Simply washed it off, and its just like new. Great flashlight!
