Streamlight Polytac Review
I bought my Polytac primarily because it was cheap a while back and I've been using if for a couple years now; here's a quick summary of my findings thus far. Pros: -Cost. The light can be had for under $35 shipped. -Uses relatively common CR123 batteries. -Fits in common 1'' mounts. -It works. So far I all the Polytacs I own have kept on ticking even with use on rifles and shotguns. -130 C4 LED output. It's a nice white light with a good peripheral cone. -Has o rings to seal out water on both the tail cap and lens cap. -Lightweight. Weighs 4.1oz with batteries. -Comes in black, coyote, and bright yellow. Cons: -1 of the 3 I lights I have flickers slightly under recoil (can be seen at the beginning of the video below). Is it a huge issue for SD/HD? Maybe. I really doubt I'd ever shoot in the dark with the light off in a HD/SD situation but for use with night vision devices it's a different story. -It's not as bright as some lights on the market. Here's a video with some shooting/testing, a night time comparison between a 104 lumen Maglite and a Surefire 6PX Tactical, followed by a discussion of the light: Streamlight Polytac HD Video Review Link
