The Streamlight ProTac 2.0 Headlamp (89001) delivers 2,000 lumens of hands-free lighting in a compact machined aircraft aluminum body. Powered by the included SL-B50® protected Li-Ion USB-C rechargeable battery pack — chargeable inside or outside the light — with TEN-TAP® programming for three user-selectable output programs. IP64-rated for dust-tight and water-resistant performance, 2-meter impact tested, and includes both rubber and elastic headstraps for a secure fit on bare head or over a hard hat. Backed by Streamlight’s limited lifetime warranty.
Three user-selectable programs configurable via TEN-TAP programming:
How does the ProTac 2.0 Headlamp differ from the ProTac 2.0 Flashlight (89000)?
Both use the same SL-B50® battery and share the ProTac 2.0 platform, but there are key differences: the headlamp (89001) is IP64-rated (dust-tight, water-resistant to 2 meters) vs. the flashlight’s IP67 (fully waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes); the headlamp has a slightly shorter peak beam distance (241m vs. 262m); the headlamp does not have a strobe mode; and the headlamp uses rubber and elastic headstraps rather than a pocket clip and holster. Choose the headlamp for hands-free applications and the flashlight for situations where waterproofing and strobe are required.
Will the headstrap fit over a hard hat?
Yes — the included elastic headstrap is designed to stretch over a hard hat for hands-free lighting in PPE-required work environments. The rubber headstrap provides a more secure non-slip fit on a bare head. Both straps are included in the box.
What does IP64 mean and how water-resistant is this headlamp?
IP64 means the headlamp is completely dust-tight (6) and water-resistant to direct water spray and splashing from any direction (4). The 89001’s specification also notes resistance to 2 meters of water, making it suitable for rain and heavy splashing in outdoor jobsite use. It is not rated for sustained submersion — for fully waterproof submersion, the ProTac 2.0 Flashlight (89000) with its IP67 rating is the better choice.
Is the 25-hour low mode practical for full-day arborist work?
Yes — the 110-lumen low mode with a 25-hour run time provides ample illumination for ground-level inspection, rigging prep, and low-light tasks throughout a full workday on a single charge. For canopy work or overhead inspection requiring maximum throw, switching to high (2,000 lumens, 241m) gives the output needed, though at the reduced 2.25-hour run time. TEN-TAP Program 1 (High/Medium/Low) lets you cycle through all three modes as conditions change.
