This light has been on my rifle for over a year now after replacing two other options I had tried previously. The installation took 5-10 minutes and couldn’t have been any easier. I use streamlight’s rechargeable battery, charging it once a month, and have not seen this light lose even the slightest brightness, which exceeds any rifle mounted light that I’ve ever used. With the amount of drops this light has endured, I would’ve expected to have bought three replacements already, but this holds up amazingly well!

It’s very well-built, bright as hell, easy to mount, and just works quite well on my rifle. I’m freaking thrilled with it! The battery life is really impressive too, considering the scope and brightness of the light. The strobe function is awesome and easy to actuate too. I did a ton of research about rifle-mounted lights and these always came highly recommended. I now understand why.

The Streamlight 88066 ProTac Rail Mount HL-X is an exceptional weapon light that delivers impressive performance! With a powerful 1000 lumens output, it provides bright illumination, making it perfect for tactical applications or home defense. I love the multi-fuel feature, allowing it to run on either CR123A batteries or a rechargeable battery, which adds to its versatility. The included remote switch and tail switch make it easy to operate, even in high-pressure situations. The sturdy construction ensures durability, and the sleek black design fits seamlessly on my firearm. If you're in need of a reliable and powerful weapon light, I highly recommend the ProTac Rail Mount HL-X!

For the price of this light it’s great. The light is programmable by tapping the pressure pad and you have 3 programmable options. The mounting hardware is durable. The pressure pad is plastic but works great for most applications. I don’t recommend buying used like I have because not all of the hardware to mount the light was there. But overall a good option for budget minded folks or getting into WML

This is my second Streamlight HL-X. The first one I purchased is the 88071, this is an 88066. I recommend going with the 88071 because it includes the Streamlight 18650 rechargeable battery - this model ships with two Streamlight CR123s. This was my fault, so I have not deducted any overall stars.The light itself has great output and is well constructed. Out of the box, you get the light, two batteries, a clicky tailcap, and a tape switch tailcap. It also comes with a piece of adhesive for the tailcap, two zip ties, and two rubber feet for attaching the tape switch to 1913 rails. My recommendation is to upgrade to a Cloud Defensive LCSMK2J tape switch mount, since the zip ties can get a bit unruly and the Cloud Defensive mount has better cable management. That being said, if you are just trying to get your firearm up and running, it is great that Streamlight includes a mounting solution. The tape switch itself is somewhat mushy but can be activated across the whole length of the switch, unlike some other options I have tried where you need to press directly in the middle. The constant activation button has a helpful shield around it to prevent unintentional activations, and I tend to mount my tape switches so that this button faces away from me.The Streamlight HL-X ships with a 1913 thumb screw mount installed in the box. This is an okay mount, but it is a bit on the bulky side. The HL-X is compatible with most Surefire Scout footprint mounts, so I replaced the included 1913 mount with a Magpul M-LOK offset Scout polymer mount and hardware from Arisaka defense. If you don't want to pay for the $3 in hardware, you can attach the 1913 thumb screw mount to the Magpul offset adapter as well since it has a slot for the cross bar.The main downside to the HL-X's mounting system is the screw body placement. Most Surefire Scout lights and other lights that use the same two hole mounting pattern bias the mounting holes to the rear of the light to move the light forward on the gun compared to the mount. Surefire does not do this - the holes are smack dab in the middle of the light body. Combine this with the already bulky nature of the Streamlight HL-X and you may have some packaging issues when trying to set up a weapon with limited rail space. I may eventually transition to a Haley Strategic Thorntail SBR mount to remedy this since it pushes the light even farther forward. I would simply go with a longer Arisaka in-line mount and put it on the 1:30 section of 1913 rail, but the screw hole location prevents you from using the Arisaka in-lines without modifying a hex key to tighten the hardware.Overall, for the price, I feel that this light, despite the bulk and mounting issues, is a solid contender for a carbine or shotgun. With some upgrades to accessories like a light mount and a tape switch mount I think the Streamlight HL-X will serve you well.

Really like the light. The mounting system for the pressure pad on a picitany rail isn’t the greatest, the plastic parts it comes with hold it on but it’s not sturdy. I might replace them or do a different mounting system. Overall the light is very bright and mounts to the gun very nicely. Very happy with the purchase for the reasonable price point

I've got a bunch of other lights in the same "lumen" category, however this is the brightest 2xCR123a light that I own. The ability to switch between tailcap and pressure pad is also great. It's a shame it only support 1913 rail. I drilled out the holes on the end and put some M- LOK T-Tnuts through to direct mount on an M-LOK rail (pressure pad only - light still 1913).Still on my first set of batteries so can't talk about battery life and haven't had it long enough to weigh in on durability. For the price seems like a very high value light.

No complaints hereI've used it on my .223 and my shotgun. It just plain works, and holds up to even using slugs. Solid choice.
