When it comes to tactical flashlights, there are only a few brands that I trust.
Such as Surefire, Modlite, OWL,
And of course, Streamlight flashlights.
Streamlight flashlights offer a great balance between:
Features - Design - Durability and Price
Most of my guns come with Streamlight flashlights, from pistols to shotguns.
Up until now, Streamlight rifle scopes have been a great accessory, and I recently mounted a Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 1 to my rifle.
My latest rifle
This is one of the many Streamlight flashlights designed specifically for rifles, and I chose it for the following reasons:
ProTac's lightness and length
The first thing I want to mention is that it is lightweight and compact in size.
I have an idea to attach a flashlight to the front of the gun but I don't want to disrupt the balance of the gun.
Or is it too heavy in the front? This flashlight weighs only 128 grams.
and is only 10.16 centimeters long.
It is very small but still has the potential to be a flashlight for firearms.
The weight and length of the flashlight helped balance my weapon.
It is not too heavy and provides comfort when used for long periods of time.
Power and battery
Basically, with a rifle flashlight, I don't want to focus on the power of the flashlight.
But I want the flashlight to have a longer lifespan.
The Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 1 flashlight is designed for continuous use.
Up to 14.5 hours on low setting and 1.75 hours of use
In high setting mode, the high setting mode can provide up to 350 lumens of brightness, and the light output area is wide, increasing peripheral vision.
More and more suitable for use in indoor/closed areas.
Modern portable tactical flashlights can produce up to 1,000 lumens.
It's easy to do, but in exchange, the battery drains very quickly.
If we talk about used batteries,
Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 1 Flashlight
It is designed to use two types of battery systems.
Can use both AA batteries or CR123A batteries, which is designed
It can use both types of batteries, making it easy to carry around.
However, when using AA batteries, the maximum brightness the flashlight can produce is 150 lumens.
While using CR123A batteries, it provides 350 lumens of brightness.
Accessories and Value
The Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 1 flashlight comes with all the accessories.
You will need to attach the flashlight to your weapon, including a mounting rail, a tail switch, and a push button.
and the battery is for use. There is also a rotating adjustment to increase the tightness of the weapon base.
Everything mentioned above is packed in a flashlight box, priced at only 7,000 baht.
That's an incredible price for a well-made and well-designed flashlight.
Real Test
This is the deciding factor for this flashlight, the Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 1.
It has an aluminum body and a well-made mounting base that is firmly attached to the rail.
The Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 1 is rated IPX7 for water resistance, meaning users can immerse the flashlight in water to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes without any problems.
The Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 1 flashlight also features:
To change between 3 modes of operation with 10 presses.
Also known as Ten-Tap Programable, Streamlight’s exclusive technology.
You can adjust it in high brightness mode (High Profile).
Low Profile and Strobe modes are available.
Personally, I like to use both modes. I set it to have both modes.
High and low brightness values to make it easy to use in practice.
Finally, the Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 1 flashlight.
Strong enough to withstand the recoil of a gun larger than my AR-15.
Where it can be used on AR-10 rifles, shotguns and more.
The flashlight has no flickering, twitching or blackouts, which is considered a design feature of this flashlight.
Withstands the gun's recoil very well.
Whether used with a gun to protect one's home or for official business
The Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 1 is another great option.
It is reliable, bright, and cost-effective. Streamlight is a well-known brand of flashlights.
It is a high quality flashlight and the Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 1 flashlight.
It has been proven to be a "must have" item.
