## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the USB cord plug directly into the light?**
A: These answers are all over the place.  Here's how the Streamlight 88085 works:
First, you don't have to buy or use the rechargeable battery at all.  It will operate on two CR123A batteries.
If you do buy the rechargeable Streamlight 18650 battery with the light, the battery itself has a port that requires a USB micro-B plug.  The other end of that cable can plug into any charging source (e.g. computer USB port, plug-in charger with a USB connection) to charge the battery.  The battery must be removed from the flashlight to charge it.  This procedure is for the STREAMLIGHT battery only.  I don't have any experience with other brands of 18650 batteries.  
Good luck.

**Q: Anyone have this mounted on a rifle experience issues flickering/turning off due to recoil?**
A: I have not experienced any flickering under recoil.  I also own a surefire scout mounted on another AR15. You’re getting the same performance for less.

**Q: Am i getting a protac 2l-x, or an hl-x usb? the title says one thing, but the description says another.**
A: The page offers several different configurations (with slightly different model/part # designations).   If you select option you want (to left of price on my screen), the product name text changes slightly.  Try out putting different options in your cart to compare.  Good luck

**Q: Can i use AAA batteries instead?**
A: No, just CR 123.  I use rechargeable ones (3.7V) in mine with good results.

*by S***N on 2 March 2022*

One of brightest flashlights I've owned, particularly for it's size, at 1000 lumens/27k candela (on high). Battery life is good as well - with the Streamlight 2100 mah 18650's I get 1hr 30 mins (on high) and 1 hour with 2 two CR123's (again, on high). The lowest setting is 65 lumens, and I average 8 to 9 hrs on that low setting with their supplied SL 18650. The ability to be able to use both battery types is also quite nice as well. Streamlight calls it "Duel Fuel" iirc. It's got their proprietary "10 tap programming" which gives you 2 distinct sets of lighting options; Low - Med - High / High Only / and then the factory default is High - Strobe - Low. It's also rated IPX7. That makes it drop-safe to 1 meter and also water resistant to 1 meter (submerged) for up to 30 mins. So no worries using it in any kind of rain. I've owned many, many different lights over the years, and from loads of companies. Yet I always seem to come back to Streamlight for their consistent reliability, quality and good prices. (Surefire is also a great company, but as I have to buy some of my own gear, including lights, Surefire is just too expensive for me - even though they're super rugged and high quality) TL/DR; awesome, reliable, powerful light with excellent battery life and flexible options. Especially considering the price! 10 out of 10, I highly recommend.
