Streamlight Releases ProTac Rail Mount VIR Pro Weapon-mounted Light at SHOT Show 2026
Brand new to the world of rail-mounted weapon lights this year is the Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount VIR Pro, a high-performance light with up to 1,100 lumens of bright white light, plus an infrared LED.
Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount VIR Pro Overview and Key Features

Designed to fit all long guns with MIL-STD-1913 or M-LOK and M-LOK compatible rails, the ProTac Rail Mount VIR Pro makes it easy for shooters to switch between white and infrared light with a head-mounted switch. It features a built-in cutoff to ensure the white light isn’t accidentally turned on while in infrared mode, so you can feel confident when stealth is required.
With high, medium, and low settings and the option to run off either two CR123A lithium batteries or a single Streamlight SL-B26® lithium-ion USB rechargeable battery pack, this light lasts up to 14 or 11 hours, respectively, on low beam.
Crafted from 6000 Series machined aircraft aluminum with a high-temperature, shock-mounted, impact-resistant BOROFLOAT glass lens, this rail-mounted light weighs a mere 8.8 ounces and is water-resistant.
