Streamlight® PolyTac® 1X USB Multi-Fuel Tactical Flashlight – Black – 86001
The Streamlight® PolyTac® 1X USB Multi-Fuel Tactical Flashlight (86001) represents a 2026-spec masterclass in everyday carry (EDC) reliability and adaptive power management. Built explicitly to withstand the punishing operational environments faced by law enforcement officers, military technicians, industrial contractors, and wilderness outfitters, this pocket-sized illuminator (080926860018) elevates the historic PolyTac lineage. Moving past the strict, expensive battery requirements of traditional tactical lights, the 1X USB framework introduces a true, single-cell multi-fuel engine, ensuring you can keep the beam burning regardless of what battery supplies are on hand.
The defining technological milestone of the 86001 platform is its extreme multi-fuel battery flexibility. Out of the box, the system is driven by an included Streamlight SL-B9® protected Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack, which features a direct, built-in USB-C charging port for zero-hassle bench replenishment. When pushed into maximum output, this setup blasts a blinding 500 lumens paired with an intense 18,000 candela beam intensity, driving a crisp spotlight throw out to 878 feet (268 meters) to confidently pierce dark alleys or open voids. Should your rechargeable cell run low in remote areas, the internal mechanical contacts intelligently drop down to accommodate either a standard disposable CR123A lithium cell or an ordinary AA alkaline/lithium battery. Wrapped inside a high-impact, super-tough nylon polymer frame finished with Streamlight's signature "Rocky Stipple" non-slip grip texturing and a removable two-way pocket clip, this IPX7 waterproof light is an indestructible tool for your duty belt or trail bag.
Includes: (1) Streamlight PolyTac 1X Tactical Flashlight (Black), (1) SL-B9® USB-C Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack, (1) USB-A to USB-C Charging Cable, and Removable Two-Way Pocket Clip.
