Streamlight PolyTac 1X Multi-Fuel Tactical Flashlight - 500 Lumens / 18,000 Candela High, Dual-Fuel Capability - High-Impact Nylon Polymer, TEN-TAP Programmable - Matte Yellow Finish - 86002
Product Description
Staging an emergency readiness kit, tactical disaster pack, or heavy-duty industrial workspace setup reveals a critical manual bottleneck: specialized lighting tools that run out of proprietary power in the field. When an extended power outage hits or trail conditions degrade, tracking down rare lithium cells can leave your backup gear dark and stranded on your workbench. The **Streamlight® PolyTac® 1X Multi-Fuel Flashlight (86002)** completely solves this logistical dependency. It features an advanced internal multi-fuel regulation board that lets armorers power the light with a high-performance lithium CR123A cell for maximum performance, or drop in a standard, universally available AA alkaline battery straight from your staging bench layout.
Precision-molded from a proprietary, ultra-tough **high-impact super-tough nylon polymer composite**, the rugged unibody core provides exceptional thermal insulation and chemical resistance. The housing is treated with a highly visible, non-reflective **matte yellow finish jacket** that makes the light instantly identifiable inside deep tool bags or dark emergency staging boxes on your bench. The body incorporates a molded-in **Rocky Stipple texture grip** pattern along its handle flats, ensuring an unyielding, positive manual purchase in wet weather conditions or when handling the tool with greasy hands. Topped with a gasket-sealed glass lens window and an O-ring sealed tailcap assembly, this industrial-strength tool handles hard drops and submersions with ease.
In high-stress emergency tracking, mechanical inspections, or tactical task management, the extreme focus of the **080926860025** optical engine provides an incredible capability edge. The internal solid-state LED assembly is paired with a precision-calculated smooth parabolic reflector, generating a piercing **18,000-candela center hotspot** that throws white light out to **268 meters** under CR123A power. Driven by Streamlight's signature **TEN-TAP® programmable tailcap switch**, users can reconfigure the activation cycle between three distinct software loops on your bench: High-Strobe-Low, High-Only, or Low-Medium-High. Complete with a removable, high-tension spring-steel pocket clip, this multi-fuel safety light ensures you are never left without options downrange.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Field Operational Guidance: The Streamlight 86002 PolyTac 1X master pack arrives fully completed on your workbench, bundled with 1x High-Energy 3V CR123A Lithium battery and 1x Standard 1.5V AA Alkaline battery. CRITICAL MULTI-FUEL INTERACTION & REVOLUTIONARY SPRING FITMENT NOTE: This specialized 1X hardware architecture utilizes an innovative internal self-adjusting dual-spring battery cradle. It automatically adjusts to bridge the distinct length and diameter dimensions of a single CR123A cell or a single AA battery without requiring separate sleeve tubes or alignment adapters on your bench. **Performance Discrepancy Parameter:** Operating parameters scale based on the fuel source selected. Loading a CR123A cell unlocks a full **500 lumens** and 18,000 candela for a 3.75-hour run. Switching to a standard AA battery scales output to a utility-focused **150 lumens** and 5,400 candela for up to 3.0 hours. **Bench Programming Sequence:** To change the factory-default program (High-Strobe-Low) using the TEN-TAP tailcap button, half-press the switch rapidly 9 times on your bench and hold it down on the 10th press until the light shuts off to cycle to the next program setting. **Maintenance Pro-Tip:** Periodically clean the tailcap metal contact plates with an alcohol-moistened swab to prevent alkaline battery gas residue or carbon film from inducing circuit delays downrange.*
Key Features
- Advanced Multi-Fuel Versatility: Accepts either one high-power CR123A lithium battery for tactical output or one common AA battery (alkaline or lithium) for survival logistics.
- Piercing 18,000 Candela Beam: Paired with a smooth parabolic reflector to concentrate 500 lumens into a focused center spotlight that punches through heavy smoke and darkness.
- High-Visibility Matte Yellow Base: Stamped from a bright, high-durability polymer matrix that is easily spotted during low-light staging situations or field drops.
- TEN-TAP Programmable Switching: Features a smart tactical push-button tail switch that allows users to select between three user-programmable operating profiles.
- Super-Tough Nylon Polymer Chassis: Built from an impact-resistant, non-conductive nylon polymer shell that provides a comfortable grip in freezing or hot climates.
- Molded-In Rocky Stipple Texturing: Raised handle stippling rows provide a rock-solid, slip-resistant grip when working with wet hands, mud, or thick gloves.
