Streamlight PolyTac 88853 flashlight

The Streamlight PolyTac 88853 is a compact LED flashlight built for everyday carry and outdoor tasks. Its nylon body in high-visibility yellow resists impacts and weighs 4.2 oz with the two included CR123 lithium cells. Three selectable output modes let the user match brightness to the situation. It suits hikers, security staff and anyone needing a reliable hand-held light.

Sustained output and runtime

At the maximum 600 lm setting the beam reaches 214 m and runs for 2.75 hours before the batteries are depleted. Lower modes extend runtime significantly for extended patrols or campsite chores. The fixed spot pattern keeps the hotspot tight without manual focus adjustment. The light is not rechargeable, so spare CR123 cells are required for multi-day use.

Thermal behaviour and power draw

The LED module and nylon housing manage heat passively during the 2.75-hour maximum-output run, staying comfortable to hold. No active cooling fan is present, so operation is silent. Power draw is limited to the two primary lithium cells, with no external charger or secondary light circuit adding parasitic drain. Drop rating of 3 m confirms ruggedness for normal field handling.

Questions about this item

Does the PolyTac 88853 get hot during its 2.75-hour run at 600 lm?

The light runs for 2.75 hours at the 600 lm maximum setting before the batteries are depleted.

Do I need to supply my own CR123 lithium batteries for the 88853?

Two CR123 lithium batteries are included with the flashlight.

Will the fixed-focus spot beam of the 88853 still throw 214 m if I keep using older CR123 cells?

The 214 m beam distance is rated with the included lithium CR123 cells; performance will drop as those cells age.
