Reddit reviews Streamlight 88066 ProTac Rail Mount HL-X Fixed Mount Ten Tap, 1,000 Lumens,Black

Streamlight 88066 HL-X, $100 at Jeff Bezos' yardsale. 1000 Lumens, runs on 2x CR123s or 1 18650, comes with a momentary and latching remote tape switch or you can run it without.

Spend the extra $20 and get this one here. I have one on my 8” SBR and agency LWRC M6A2.

Not familiar with this dealer but price is $100. This is THE best WML I’ve used alongside the TLR HL for Pistols. These are the only 2 lights you need IMO.

The BCM is using a Streamlight HLX. The MK18 is using a Surefire M300C MiniScout with a dual pressure switch. They are both mounted using Magpul's Offset Aluminum MLOK Light Mounts

Get a streamlight hlx. Comes with pressure pad that attaches to the picatinny on the top of your handguard.



it’s 100 bucks on amazon

Another vote for the HLX. amazon has them for $106. You can mount it on the end of the handguard at 3 and you won’t get too much carbon on the lens.

Also, if you're buying from amazon, set an alert on camelcamelcamel so you can wait for the best price. Lowest on this was $85.98

I have this light in the HL version and I love it. The lowest it’s been on amazon is $99

For those of you that have this.. Is Cloud Defense LCS just the mount plus Streamlight's own tape switch? Or is the tape switch also made by Cloud Defense? I'm on my 2nd Streamlight tapeswitch (bought as part of this package: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VTLLDH4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and the switch is terrible. I constantly have to fiddle with the cap to turn on the light. Super annoying..

Streamlight Protac Rail Mount HL-X 1000 is an excellent AR light for $111 including pressure pad.

I do think Streamlights are good weaponlights. While I don't have the railmount version, I do have the normal Protac HL and HL3 and they've been good lights so far. Personally if I were you and wanted a Streamlight, I'd go for the Railmount HL-X. It's only a couple bucks more, but it puts out 1000 lumens and it can also run on 18650 rechargeable batteries so you don't have to keep buying expensive CR123 batteries. It will also run on CR123s though if you want to use them. I've also heard that those Thorntail mounts are pretty good. I've seen people use them and they like them.

Streamlight Protac HLX is a great option if you don't want to drop surefire money. Comes set up for picatinny mount, and has a remote switch. Pretty popular light.

And this one as well

$106 for 1k lumen, 200 yard target capable, 50 yard target ID, and can use 18650 rechargeables. It's the king until the Surefire Scout M600DF is fully released, but that's multiples more expensive.

I recommend the Streamlight Protac HL-X rail mount which comes with the pressure switch https://www.amazon.com/Streamlight-88066-Professional-Flashlight-Batteries/dp/B06VTLLDH4

Occasionally goes on sale for under $100 if you keep an eye out.

I got one of these

If you need to budget the one you linked is fine with a mount.

Here it is

It’s a flashlight meant to be mounted on a long gun. Similar to this one (see the third pic).

Streamlight hlx $102.99 on Amazon. Comes with pressure switch, adhesive pad, zip ties and some rubber clips for putting the pressure switch on picatinny rails.

  I have an MRO that should be here in a few days for my optic, I'm planning on switching out the J-comp with a Wilson combat 3 prong flash hider. I might eventually switch out the handguard for a MI drop in rail. I would also like to switch out the Moe VG with something shorter if anyone has any suggestions.

Hopefully this link keeps all the correct optics selected. Same number of lumens.

The answered questions indicate that it may or may not come with both caps/switches (I've seen both answers).

The reviews do indicate it comes with both caps/switches. I checked the ones that posted photos, and a few said it outright, with nobody saying they bought theirs separately (but showing it in their photos). Disclaimer: did not check every review.

It clearly comes with the mount.
