ProTac HP-X FAQs

What is the difference between the USB model and the standard model?

 The USB version comes with a special SL-B26 rechargeable battery. This battery has a built-in USB-C port for easy charging. The standard model is built for two regular CR123A batteries. Both flashlights are built the exact same way, so you can swap between the rechargeable battery and regular batteries anytime.

What are lumens?

Lumens measure the total amount of light that comes out of the flashlight. A higher lumen count means the light is brighter overall and floods a wider space.

What is candela?

Candela measures how focused and intense the light beam is. High candela means the beam can reach extreme distances without fading out.

What is a photonic barrier?

A photonic barrier is a bright light source or weather condition that blocks your vision. This includes oncoming car headlights, streetlights, tinted windows, heavy rain, or thick smoke. A high-candela flashlight can punch right through these barriers so you can clearly see what is behind them.

What is the TEN-TAP tail switch? 

The TEN-TAP tail switch is a push-button that you can program. It lets you pick from three different light programs. You can choose the factory setting of High-Strobe-Low, a High-only mode, or a Low-Medium-High mode. You can do a light tap for a quick flash of light or press it until it clicks for constant light.

What is the difference between the ProTac HP-X and ProTac HL-X? 

Both are tactical flashlights made for heavy-duty use. The main difference is the type of beam they create. "HP" stands for High Performance (high candela), which gives you a tight, focused beam to see very far away. "HL" stands for High Lumen, which gives you a wider flood beam to light up a large, broad area closer to you.

Is the flashlight safe to leave face down while turned on? 

No, it is not safe. The flashlight makes a very powerful beam that gets extremely hot after a few seconds. If you leave it face down on a surface or your skin, it can cause a fire, burns, or permanent damage to the flashlight.

Can I mix different types of batteries? 

No, you should never mix different brands of CR123A batteries. You also must never mix old batteries with new batteries. Doing so can be dangerous and cause a fire. Also, remember that you should never try to recharge standard CR123A batteries.
