ProTac 1L-1AA 350-Lumen Dual Fuel Flashlight (88061)
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
Dual-fuel runs on CR123A or common AA cells
The Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA is a workhorse EDC flashlight that r/flashlight and r/EDC users praise for its dual fuel versatility: it runs on a single CR123A lithium cell for maximum output or a common AA when that is all you have, which is a genuine survival advantage. The aircraft grade aluminum body is IPX7 waterproof and impact resistant, and Streamlight's TEN-TAP programming lets you choose between high/strwith strobe, high only, or low/high program sets. At 350 lumens it throws a useful beam in a pocketable package. Backed by Streamlight's limited lifetime warranty. For the person who wants a rugged, no nonsense, always runs light that takes batteries you can find anywhere, this is a longtime favorite.
