FBI Selects Streamlight ProTac HL-X as New Tactical Handheld Light

February 5, 2025 by Scott Witner Leave a Comment

FBI Chooses Streamlight ProTac HL-X Tactical Light

When it comes to tactical lighting, the FBI isn’t cutting corners. They’ve chosen the Streamlight ProTac HL-X as their new go-to tactical handheld light for agents, securing a five-year contract through their distribution partner, Tactical Express, LLC.

A Powerful Tool for FBI Agents

The ProTac HL-X isn’t just any flashlight—it’s a 1,000-lumen powerhouse built for law enforcement professionals. Whether in low-light training, crime scene investigations, or high-risk operations, this light delivers the reliability and performance FBI agents need.

One standout feature is its multi-fuel capability. Agents can power it with either the Streamlight SL-B26 USB rechargeable battery or CR123A disposable batteries. That means they’ll always have a backup power option, whether they’re in the field or at headquarters.

Why the FBI Chose the ProTac HL-X

This isn’t the first time Streamlight’s tactical lights have been trusted by law enforcement and military personnel. The ProTac HL-X has already been widely used by U.S. military police and security forces, proving its durability and effectiveness.

Here’s what makes it a smart choice for FBI agents:

✔ Blinding 1,000-lumen output for clear visibility in tactical situations
✔ Three lighting modes (high, low, and strobe) for adaptable use
✔ Long run times—up to 23 hours on low mode
✔ Rugged aircraft aluminum construction for durability
✔ Tactical tail switch for one-handed operation, even with a firearm

A Tactical Upgrade for FBI Agents

The ProTac HL-X is now in the hands of FBI agents nationwide, delivering rugged reliability, powerful illumination, and flexible power options for any mission. Whether clearing rooms or securing crime scenes, this light is built for when seconds matter. If the FBI trusts it, you know it’s the real deal.
