Streamlight has upped the output of their latest ProTac to 5300! The HL6 is now a 5300, 1500, 450 lumen output number about the size of a 3C Maglite.

Is just me or is low output a real bummer?

Meh - old version was too bright already. Needs a much lower low and a tail dual switch. A smaller lower lumen LED with a longer throw and better tint would be the way to go.

It's a search and rescue oriented light. A 450 lumen output allows a decent output with lots of runtime for those all nighter missions. And same goes for the cool tint.

Just ordered one of these. Pretty impressive specs. Will report back when I get it.

Nice. I'm pretty happy with my HL 5X. Let us know how you like it @md17

One night at work I used the HL4 on medium (600 lumens) to light up an excavation. Due to the frosted optic nobody was blinded but found it lit the approx 50' x 25' x 6' deep hole. It provided the needed amount of light while sipping the batteries. With the HL6 nearly that amount of light can be provided with way more run time.

So it appears that the SL-B48's are 21700's

I will definitely be getting at least 1 of these, as I've felt that the HL-5X's I have are in need of an upgrade, to accept 21700's

Finally got this in. I can't compare it to anything. It's impressive, pure white light that makes an entire large back yard look like daytime. I'll work on some beam shots.

This is a great upgrade for an already great flashlight (HL-4, HL-5x).

Ok…this thing is a beast. The only downside of it is the switch…it just feels a little bit cheap, but not too bad. The photos are comparing it to a Malkoff hound dog 18650…older style. The spill of the hl6 is amazing and bigger an area covered…the larger the spill gets due to the TIR optic.

That's a bad boy there. Either one is a good light though.
