PROTAC HL 5-X
The ProTac HL 5-X is a high-performance torch from Streamlight with a range of features that stand it head and shoulders above the competition. The super bright 3,500 lumen full size ProTac HL 5-X flashlight is available two ways: a complete rechargeable system includes two of Streamlight's new 18650 lithium ion batteries with an integrated micro USB charge port, or it's available with four CR123A lithium batteries (which provide 2,500 lumen). The rubber sleeve, which helps provide thermal insulation for the ProTac, also ensures you'll never lose your grip. This hand-held floodlight is one of the brightest tactical lights on the market, allowing you to see everything around you including those hard-to-reach, shadowy corners and perimeters. Tough and incredibly well-built, this torch has been designed for hard outdoor use - perfect for shooting in low light conditions.
Features:
- 3,500 lumens (high beam)
- Multi-Fuel - uses two rechargeable 18650 USB batteries or four CR123A lithium batteries, so you'll always have a beam when you need it

QB COMPACT SPOT BEAM LED HEADLAMP
Hands-free lighting is so useful.

The QB Compact ACT Spot Beam LED Headlamp from Streamlight is an ultra-lightweight, weather resistant, personal work light, featuring a large button for easy actuation.

When you need to see what's up ahead, this small but powerful QB headlamp is the hands-free lighting that goes the distance, shining 200 lumens of light to 85 metres.

SIEGE X USB
Backpack hunts, fishing trips, camping with the kids… getting outdoors and spending time immersed in nature is so good for the soul. If you're planning an expedition, one vital bit of kit you don't want to forget is a good quality lamp. It will make life immeasurably easier and ensure you don't get caught tripping over your feet or dropping your knife in the dark; it also makes those last minute grallochs in the fading light a less odious task! The Siege X USB lantern from Streamlight is ideal for all outdoorsy scenarios. It is an ultra compact, USB-rechargeable lantern and flashlight featuring multiple lighting modes including smooth lantern lighting, a red LED setting to preserve night vision, and a front spot light to use the lantern as a handheld flashlight. It provides 360 degrees of light to illuminate a large area, and also switches to a focused beam to light your path; there is also an SOS mode for emergency signaling, a feature which should not be overlooked when hunting in wilderness locations. Designed with a tough, polycarbonate thermoplastic construction, elastomer over-mold and an unbreakable polycarbonate lens, it is more than tough enough to withstand the abuse of a camping adventure and wilderness expedition. Extra features include: Recessed power button to prevent accidental activation, an integrated hang hook with spring loaded D-ring so it can be used as an overhead lantern, light weight at just 7.2oz, and a handle that locks upright or folds down into a stowed position. (IPX7 rated for waterproof operation).
