EAGLEVILLE, Pa. — Streamlight Inc. has updated the brightness and design of its popular PolyTac and PolyTac HP polymer flashlights. Each light features a power LED that delivers up to 275 lumens and an improved grip, as well as a programmable switch that gives users the choice of three operating modes.
 
Their compact size, combined with their strong, tough polymer casing and high light output make both models ideal carry lights for first responders, outdoor enthusiasts and industrial professionals alike. Both lights now offer three settings (high, low and strobe) and include TEN-TAP programming that allows user selection of three different programs: high/strobe/low (factory default); high only, or low/high.
 
The all-purpose PolyTac is designed for the broadest range of lighting applications to offer the best value.  Its C4 LED and parabolic reflector produce a concentrated beam with optimum peripheral illumination. On high, the light delivers 275 lumens and 9,500 candela over a beam distance of 195 meters.
 
The PolyTac HP is engineered to provide enhanced down-range illumination. It combines a C4 LED with a deep reflector to produce a far-reaching, targeting beam with a tight spotlight, in addition to optimum peripheral illumination. On the high setting, it provides 275 lumens and 19,000 candela over a beam distance of 275 meters.
 
The new models offer 3 hours of run time on high, up to 65 hours on low, and 5 hours and 30 minutes in strobe mode. Both are powered by two (2) 3 Volt CR123A lithium batteries.
 
Manufactured from high-impact, super-tough nylon polymer, the lights have been updated to include a superior grip texture to provide a comfortable, yet slip-resistant feel.  Both feature a multi-function, push-button tail switch for easy, one-handed operation of the momentary, variable intensity or strobe modes.
 
“These small but tough polymer lights now offer super brightness and design improvements that make them indispensable tools for everything from night-time patrolling, to hunting and camping, to performing industrial inspections,” said Streamlight Vice President, Sales and Marketing Michael F. Dineen. “The new PolyTac is the ideal light to carry in a back pocket or holster for a wide range of tasks, while the PolyTac HP reaches long distances, making it especially useful for low-light searches, lighting up a trail, or troubleshooting utility lines.”
 
The PolyTac measure 5.34 inches and weighs 4.2 ounces, while the PolyTac HP measures 5.90 inches and weighs 5.2 ounces. The PolyTac features a glass lens, while the PolyTac HP features an unbreakable polycarbonate lens that is scratch-resistant.
 
Both lights have an IPX7-rated design for waterproof operation to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Both also are impact resistance-tested to 3 meters. The PolyTac has an MSRP of $66.95 and the PolyTac HP has an MSRP of $77.25. Both lights are available in black, yellow or coyote and come with a removable pocket clip.  
 
Based in Eagleville, PA, Streamlight, Inc. recently marked 40 years of making tough, durable, long-lasting flashlights designed to serve the specialized needs of professionals and consumers alike. Since 1973, the company has designed, manufactured and marketed high-performance flashlights, and today offers a broad array of lights, lanterns, weapon light/laser sighting devices and scene lighting solutions for professional law enforcement, military, firefighting, industrial, automotive, and outdoor applications. Streamlight is an ISO 9001:2008 certified company.

This is always an important topic to discuss, because I consider excellent customer service one of the most important tools you can have to earn trust, respect and repeat business from the customers that come through your door. Whether that customer is do-it-yourselfer from across town or the professional repair shop across the street, your business depends on a solid relationship.It’s a subject that I am passionate about, and it’s one that many people are losing touch with. Whether you are communicating to someone in person, on the phone or using some type of social media, good customer service and bad can both exist. You can’t afford the latter, so this is the first in a series of topics which can and should be shared from the front of the shop to the back. No matter which role you hold, you represent the shop and yourself. Customer service should be your number one priority.First on the list is the greeting. From the second a customer walks in the door, they need to know you appreciate them coming in and how important they are to your business. First impressions are everything and here’s the correct way to do it each and every time: look them directly in the eye, smile and say hello!Of course, you can say “Good morning” or “Welcome to Joe’s Autocare,” but it should be a formal greeting and the most important thing is that you have smiled, looked them in the eye and recognized that they have walked through the door.You should always retain a formal greeting until you are on a first-name basis with a customer. Only once you have established that level of relationship is it OK to use the less formal greeting of “Hi,” followed by the person’s name.This greeting does more than just indicate respect and appreciation for someone walking through the door. Most likely there are customers both new and old who are in earshot of your conversation. For newer customers, this continues to build rapport and reinforce their positive view of your shop; they see that you demonstrate respect and treat everyone in the same manner. For repeat customers, even ones that have been coming for years, the greeting is important because the way you treat them is the reason they continue to come.And when a long-time customer comes in and you greet them with “Hi [First Name],” this indicates your appreciation for them and that you’re glad to see them as a person, more than just a customer. New customers that witness this will see that your repeat customers are comfortable enough to be on a first-name basis, another indication of the trust they have in you.
