I have the ProTac HL 5X, knew I could change the settings, had thrown away the paperwork after I got it a year ago. This video helped my sanity. I knew it was something simple, and it's in the name "ten tap programmable"
They are great flashlights I just purchased one. I went with the stream light Protech HPL USb Absolutely amazing how brightest thing is never seen anything like it best flashlight I have ever seen.
Holy shit! I let my son play with this light by himself until the batteries died. When I got it back it only had the high mode, I thought he had broke it... ive delt with this for the past 6 months and decided to RUclips it to see if I could fix it. This is my 2nd light the other one got lost. Thank you!
Thank you for this video can't believe the light didn't come with an explanation looked at a bunch of other videos and they tell you everything but what you need to know where they keep the flashlight comparing it to other flashlights all the other silliness this was straightforward and much appreciated
Thank you for all the people that threw the directions away before reading it, then seeing programmable and mashing the button till something changed then not having a dang clue how to return back....
Better late than never I guess lol took me about four years to figure that out, and I found out by mistake looking for information on the battery to see if I was having a battery issue or the light itself 😅 but it's always nice to find new features on an old powerful gem 💪🏽⚡
Does this work on all the pro tacs??? I have the pro Tac 2AA and it didn't work at first. I may have don it wrong but I don't think so. Just wondering if you knew?
I have a problem with the HL-X where it will switch modes every 10th press of the remote switch that mounts to your gun if you use the long, rubber button pressure switch. Is there any way to fix this? Any way to "lock in" a mode?
I think my hl3 is on low only. Iam doing the 9 lite touches and holding on the 10th down,and it's not changing modes. Is mine broke.. would anyone know how to fix it. Any secret ways to get it working again to the 3 modes?
My light won’t go off when programming. New light. It stays on when I click after 10 and light doesn’t go off when done clicking. Can you help. Rob Security officer
ADDED JANUARY 3RD 2018, TO: CUTLERYLOVER----I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM WAS MY THREE SF123A BATTERIES WERE LOW ENOUGH TO ONLY LET THE LOW LIGHT PORTION WORK,THERE WASN'T ENOUGH BATTERY POWER TO LET MY HI-SETTING FIRE ON,I CHANGED BATTERIES AND EVERYTHING BACK TO 1OO% WORKING ORDER.I MYSELF THINK THIS IS A GOOD QUALITY FLASHLIGHT,AND JUST DEPEND ON THE QUALITY OPERATION EVERYTIME I HIT THE BUTTON,I BOUGHT THIS FLASHLIGHT FROM THE FIRST RESPONDERS ( POLICE -FIRE&MILITARY) STORE HERE IN KANSAS CITY MO.
thanks man, just used this to program my protac 2L worked great, got it on the low/high mode. this is great because my light kept going to strobe mode when i only wanted to go to high. cool to turn off the strobe for me.
Streamlight...good stuff, I own several...dozen. Keychain, pocket, EDC, tactical, hunting, pistol light/laser, headlamps... My EDC is a Protac 2TL, and a Protac HL is right next to my pistol at night. At work a Strion rechargeable and a Double Clutch( USB rechargeable) get used all day fixin' cars. On my keychain is a LOGO mini light. At home and in my truck the Stinger HP is ready to light up a deer or intruder. The prices are higher than the imports, Thrunite, Olight, Fenix, etc..., but the quality is great and the warranty is greater never had to pay for a repair or replacement.
Is there way to do a factory reset on this thing? It somehow got into strobe every 30 seconds mode and I can't get it out of that mode. I am about to trash it.
Mine came in the setting of high, low, strobe and for some reason I cannot change/program the darn thing. I have watched several vids on how to. But on the tenth press and hold. It never shuts off. I have tried a full press to click and I have tried the half press and hold. Now I have the protac 1L. Running a AA Duracell. If anyone has any tips I would be very great full. I just want high only...
Nice video on your part. I do take issue with streamlight's programing, it self. Why is there no "strobe only". Working military, security, LEO, I'm annoyed there is no "strobe only" when they have those other settings. My old OLD blackhawk Gladius, the first strobing LED on the market as I recall, has a strode only setting. Only 90 lumen and no focus on the beam...but it was the first or one of them. How can a nice light, at this year NOT have that feature? Disappointing. Regardless, your video DID show me exactly what I wanted to know about the product. I did contact streamlight in e-mail to find out, but it's good to "see" something in action to make sure there is on confusion.
On one bright day, in the middle of the night, two dead men, stood up to fight. Back to back, they faced each other, and drew out their swords and shot each other. A deaf policemen heard, he rushed and killed the two dead boys, if you don't believe my lie, its true, ask the blind man, he saw it too.
i tried and my light just stays in one mode and thats low. and when i try to program it, it doesn't even shut off on the tenth time when i hold it down. could my batteries be low ??
Interesting. Can't buy a flashlight that good in Aus. The general population is all: buy Chinese and Taiwanese, and get everything for the cheapest price.. So major suppliers won't even think of shipping in Thrunite flashlights, I haven't seen any of them in any store in au..
This video is for the people who shouldn't own this light. If you need to watch a video to program your light you got problems you need to work though. That's why you keep your instructions.
This video is for people who contacted customer service and want to double check by SEEING that is does or does NOT have a certain feature. Craig Murphy.

Your demo was fantastic! (I always read instructions, and they were terrible!) Thank you for your post!

I have 2 of the HL Protac Lights And I Love them!!
I set mine to turn on to Low , Then high after seeing low is all I really ever use.
Does this work on all the pro tacs??? I have the pro Tac 2AA and it didn't work at first. I may have don it wrong but I don't think so. Just wondering if you knew?
Older vid, but useful info! Helped me set mine to high-only in half a minute. Thanks!
Mine is stuck on the high/low setting and I can’t get it to go back to the one with the strobe option
Thank you sir great explanation without getting the history of the world
Got my light back to the factory reset mode. Thanks brotha!
Great nob on showing us dummies how to program a protec flashlight couldn’t have been done any better much appreciated, :0)
I have a problem with the HL-X where it will switch modes every 10th press of the remote switch that mounts to your gun if you use the long, rubber button pressure switch.
Is there any way to fix this?
Any way to "lock in" a mode?
Does it work with the tape switch attached or do I have to put the back push button back on?
This is cool as hell, thanks for the video king
Thanks. Saved me from pulling up the manual from their website. Very useful video.
Is there an option for low, high
or low, high, strobe?
That's what I need too, I like the idea of having all 3 options but would prefer to start on the low setting which is the one I use the most.
@@TheMegamanpr Yup there’s definitely a low to high mode with the ten-tap system.
Do you have to program it everytime you change the battery?
I think my hl3 is on low only. Iam doing the 9 lite touches and holding on the 10th down,and it's not changing modes. Is mine broke.. would anyone know how to fix it. Any secret ways to get it working again to the 3 modes?
Great video thank you! And this is a great flashlight, it just came in today and already love it! They also have great pistol mounted lights!!
Is the programming the same for the streamlight 1aa?
My light won’t go off when programming. New light. It stays on when I click after 10 and light doesn’t go off when done clicking. Can you help.

Jeff, do you have any mini- griptilian scales you would want to get rid of?
Such a helpful video! Thanks dude

Can you add a pressure pad and mount this flashlight to a rifle?

Ty for the vid! Finally got my light off of strobe mode on the second press. Woohoo!
Can I use a rechargeable battery with this flashlight?
Could I make it just strobe?
Thank you! Great video.

Please review the ACID Kuba Maduro cigar!!!
Thank you for your time.your review more understandable than streamlight offical video thanks again.
Had this flash light since 2010 I think, learning the 13 years later lol
This also works on the HL-X. Thanks.
I got it for a spotlight. Need only high beam. Thanks.
Mine came in the setting of high, low, strobe and for some reason I cannot change/program the darn thing. I have watched several vids on how to. But on the tenth press and hold. It never shuts off. I have tried a full press to click and I have tried the half press and hold. Now I have the protac 1L. Running a AA Duracell. If anyone has any tips I would be very great full.

You probably got a knock-off
Thanks for this nice and short video. Just received this as a Christmas present and the package didn't have instructions.

Thanks alot... ihave Hl3 and it works great.
Thank you for this.
Perfect 1 paragraph of included instructions seemed kind of minimal. You made easy,
Ha! I had mine for years without knowing that, thanks!
Sweet video didn't know that about the light it work on my polytac also
mine is stuck in low but i think its the batteries. i played with it for like 4 days on high and strobe mode lol.
***** yeah i fucked around with it on high for too long and it needs batteries.
I had the same problem. I took out my batteries and them back in and things went back to normal.
For people considering to buy it of course. They don't have the manual.
i tried and my light just stays in one mode and thats low. and when i try to program it, it doesn't even shut off on the tenth time when i hold it down. could my batteries be low ??
Batteries are low
That’s what I fucking thought! Thanks Bkang
There are a lot of knock-offs out there. Make sure you got a genuine streamlight.
I think u got it backwards, i think the one setting is low 1st then hi , which also makes more sense....
Thank you, the main streamlight video for this is garbage! I actually got my light programmed with your's.
Same
hey Jeff how is it going
The True Outdoorsman real busy lately but good, thanks for asking how about yourself?
Amazing video!

Thank you. Simple.
