Model 8026 Compact Light Holder - Patroltek

The Model 8026 Compact Light Holder by Safariland's PatrolTek line delivers dependable flashlight mounting for patrol officers, tactical teams, and field operators who demand quick-access illumination without compromising duty belt real estate. Purpose-built for compact duty lights, this holder accommodates both Streamlight and Surefire platforms—the dominant flashlight choices in law enforcement and military environments. Its dual-belt-size design bridges the gap between standard 2-inch and 2.25-inch duty belts, eliminating the need for separate hardware when transitioning between uniform configurations.

The Model 8026 uses a simple yet robust open-top design that secures lights by 1-inch diameter friction and retention, allowing rapid deployment in low-light scenarios without fumbling with retention straps or tool-dependent adjustments. Its compact footprint—measuring 9.95 by 2.1 by 5.2 inches—minimizes snag risk during movement through confined spaces, vehicle operations, or close-quarters work while maintaining vertical presentation for natural ergonomic draw angles. At just 0.1 pounds, the holder adds negligible weight to a loaded belt, preserving the balance and endurance critical during extended patrol shifts or tactical operations.

Law enforcement professionals, emergency responders, and military personnel benefit most from this Safariland offering when running Streamlight Sting models or comparable compact-format duty lights that demand reliable, accessible placement. The holder's universal-diameter tolerance accommodates flashlight lengths and sizes that fluctuate across duty rotations, making it ideal for agencies managing mixed equipment inventories or officers who regularly swap between primary and backup lights. Installation on either belt size requires only basic hardware adjustment, and compatibility with standard duty belt systems ensures seamless integration into existing loadouts without additional equipment investment.
