Review: Great Gift... - My dad managed to break his old flashlight. Not really sure how. He asked for a new one for Christmas. It needed to be small enough to be held in one hand, light enough to be used while doing other things, bright enough to be able to find things in a dark basement when the power goes out, and he did NOT want rechargeable batteries. On that last point, I think he was talking more about not wanting a light that used a drill power pack, like the ones that come in those combination drill/saw/light type sets. However, when I checked with him he assured me he didn't want rechargeable batteries. So, I settled on this Streamlight after looking at reviews of other similar looking lights on desertcart. Basically, the desertcart users sold me on this light. It hit all of the points he had asked for, and came in at what I felt was a really good price point. When he opened the light on Christmas, he was really interested in getting the light out and testing it out. He opened the package, installed the included batteries, and took to using the light. It's very bright. I'm not really very familiar with other "nice" flashlights so I can't compare, but I do know it's brighter than any of the flashlights I have laying around my house. He really seemed to like the way the light was focused and how bright it was. He took it into the basement and came back to assure me that the light would work for what he needed it for. The quality of the build seems solid. I'm used to flashlights being cheap plastic or metal, so this one being a higher grade type of plastic was different for me, but it felt really good in the hand. The button to turn it off and on seems solid, and the fact that it came with batteries is a big plus. Overall, my dad really likes the light, and I think it seems like a pretty good product. The only problem?? I now want one for myself!!!
Review: Basic flashlight and runs like a champ - I have thrown this at walls, people, cars, windows, concrete, cactus, gravel, dirt, metal posts, signs and grass. Nothing has cracked or dented or flung off. It’s bright at 1000-1200 lumens (I think) and is running strong. The battery life, on average, last about 6 hours of constant high beam use. With using CR123 batteries, you’d expect the light to get hot but not entirely. It takes quite a while and also depends on the weather. Its length sits at about 4-5 inches and isn’t bulky at all. It fits in regular pistol mag pouches easily.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any one use this with the Elzetta shotgun mount?**
A: Yes. It slides right into the mount, perfect fit and no need to use any of the adapters. To make it a bit easier, to slide into the mount you can remove the back cap that holds the batteries, slip the 88850 into the mount, and screw the cap back on. Very happy with my Elzetta shotgun mount and Streamlight 88850.

**Q: Are the models now being sold the current, 275 lumen/strobe/14 lumen TEN-TAP models, or the older 130 lumen models?  Asked 12/21/14.**
A: I have purchased several since Sept 2014 in black and coyote for myself/friends/family. Amazon is selling the current 275 lumen model with the pocket clip. The description still shows the old model, but the model number does accurately reflect the updated model that will be shipped.

**Q: Can i take that clip off the flashlight?**
A: Yes, you can take the clip off.  It takes some effort to unscrew the top bezel, but it is not glued on. Then you have to remove the O-ring, which also takes a bit of effort because it is very tight.  Once you've done that, just unscrew the clip the same way you unscrewed the bezel, replace the O-ring, and screw the top back on.  Mine is also barcoded 80926 88850.

**Q: Has anybody used this light as a weapon light on a 12 guage shotgun? Can it hold up to the recoil?**
A: This light is STOUT.  It WILL hold up to 12ga recoil....and .50 Beowulf

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let there be LIGHT!
*by W***S on June 7, 2015*

Let's face it: The number of "tactical" flashlights on Amazon is TOO DAMN HIGH! Lol! There are simply too many choices. Plus, you've got all this no-name-brand Chinese crap and it's difficult to tell which flashlight the reviews actually apply to. After a few hours of painful research, I "settled" on the Streamlight brand. The company seems legit, they aren't going to fold overnight, and the light comes with a limited lifetime warranty. This Polytac seemed the best for my application (mounting a few on an IWI Tavor and a couple of AR-15s, all using off-set Picatinny mounts). Here's what I don't like: - Removing the o-ring in order to remove the pocket clip (which is necessary to mount the light in a 1-inch mount) was a pain. I was able to do it, but I was very worried I'd nick the o-ring or cut it in the removal process. It's on tight. - All tactical flashlights should feature some redundancy or versatility with their power source. I think the lights should be able to use AA, AAA, or the lithium batteries. Only a few lights I've seen do this, but I think it should be a design feature for any light where you might need options in a pinch. - I don't like my flashlights to have complicated modes that rely upon the speed of the operator to click a button twice fast, or three times fast, and to remember how many times and when. Jesus, who could do this under fire-- even with training? Glock is the one manufacturer I've seen who got this right with their flashlight-laser combo. There's a three-way switch with three tiny diagrams on the unit so you can select the mode you want once the light is activated. They even eliminated the language barrier with this physical toggle. Brilliant! As for the Streamlight, I absolutely cannot activate the low-beam setting-- even after fooling with the light for 20 minutes and trying to reprogram it. I can get high-beam and strobe, but that's all. I'm not happy with the fact that I can't use low-beam because it dramatically improves the battery life. - The price is a little high for what you get. I don't think this is American made, so the price is nearly twice as high as similar Chinese-made lights. Here's what I like: + The flashlight is very lightweight. + The button on the back clicks with authority, isn't mushy, and feels solid. + The plastic housing has a nice texture and feel. I also think the off-set mount I'm using grips it nice and snug without scratching or damaging the flashlight case were it metal. + The flashlight is very bright and has a solid beam (meaning, unlike some lights were you have to do a lot of focusing to get right of the dark spot or spots, this light just has a solid and bright beam center). I'm keeping the flashlight and actually ordering another.
