Streamlight’s new multi-fuel models of its TLR-8 line of laser-equipped tactical weapon lights provide users extreme brightness in tactical situations and the ability to choose between USB or disposable battery options.
The weapon lights include the TLR-8 X with red laser and the TLR-8 X G with green laser for full-size and compact railed handguns, and the TLR-8 X sub with red laser and the TLR-8 X G sub with green laser, available to fit select GLOCK, SIG SAUER, Springfield Armory, and many 1913 short railed subcompact handguns.
All models of the TLR-8 multi-fuel models deliver 500 lumens and offer customizable rear switches for ambidextrous operation.
Each of the lights uses a high-power white LED that delivers 5,000 candela and 500 lumens over 141 meters and features a custom optic with a focused beam that optimizes peripheral illumination.
The TLR-8 X and TLR-8 X sub include a 640-660nm red aiming laser, while the TLR-8 X G and TLR-8 X G sub feature a 510-530nm green aiming laser.
All are powered by either one 3-volt CR123A lithium battery or one 850mAh Li-Ion USB-C rechargeable SL-B9 battery pack, which charges via a USB-C cord or optional bank charger. Both types of batteries can be installed or removed through the face cap, eliminating the need to remove the light from the weapon.
The new models offer three lighting modes: LED only, LED/laser combined and laser only. Run times are 1.5 hours in LED only or LED/laser mode and 60 hours in laser only mode using a CR123A battery. With the SL-B9 battery pack inserted, run times are one hour in LED only or LED/laser mode and 36 hours on the laser only setting.
The TLR-8 multi-fuel lights feature a one-handed, snap on and tighten interface that keeps hands away from gun muzzles when attaching or detaching them.
A key kit is also included to securely fit the lights to a broad array of handguns.
MSRP: $389.55 – $505.62
