Streamlight® Inc., a provider of high-performance lighting, launched the PolyTac® 90X USB, a multi-fuel, right-angle personal light that delivers 500 lumens and uses a Streamlight SL B-26™ protected USB rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack. A PolyTac® 90X with two CR123A batteries is also available.

The PolyTac 90X USB is a complete rechargeable system that includes a Streamlight SL-B26 rechargeable battery with integrated micro-USB port. The light also can accept two 3-Volt CR123A disposable lithium batteries. This multi-fuel capability enables users to charge the light on the go or insert cell batteries when a charging source is unavailable.

"The PolyTac family of lights is among our most popular with fire and rescue personnel because of their extreme brightness, compact size and exceptional durability," said Streamlight Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Michael F. Dineen.

"This newest addition features a 90° head, multiple attachment methods and multi-fuel battery technology, giving users the ability to power and recharge the light through convenient USB recharging or via disposable batteries. Whether conducting rescue operations, investigating fire scenes or signaling others during emergencies, it's ideal for first responders." The new light includes an integrated carabineer style D-ring clip, which provides for easy, one-handed attachment to turnout gear or harnesses, and a multi-position, reversible pocket clip that offers several mounting options.
