High Lumen, Multi-Fuel Weapon Light

Streamlight, a leader in high-performance lighting solutions and weapon-mounted devices, has launched their latest offering: the TLR-1 HL-X USB/TLR-1 HL-X. This powerful laser and light combo is designed for full-size handguns and long guns equipped with rails, boasting extreme brightness with up to 1,500 lumens for tactical applications. Streamlight’s latest entry introduces a range of advanced features, including multi-fuel compatibility, enhanced switches, and convenient battery access, making it a versatile tool for law enforcement, military, and other tactical users.

Key Features and Performance

According to Ray Sharrah, President and CEO of Streamlight, this new addition to the TLR family is built to offer users maximum illumination in low-light conditions, whether clearing rooms or lighting dark paths. The TLR-1 HL-X delivers a concentrated beam with optimal peripheral illumination, providing 1,500 lumens and 20,000 candela over a 283-meter distance when using Streamlight’s SL-B9 USB-C rechargeable battery packs. For users preferring traditional batteries, the light can also operate with 3-volt CR123A lithium batteries, producing 1,000 lumens and 15,000 candela over 245 meters. The rechargeable batteries offer a 60-minute run time, while disposable batteries extend it to 90 minutes.

Streamlight highlights the multi-fuel capability of the TLR-1 HL-X as a major advantage. Users can choose between the rechargeable SL-B9 battery packs, which charge in 2.5 hours via a USB-C cord, or standard CR123A lithium batteries, offering flexibility based on availability or user preference.

Ambidextrous Operation and Tactical Convenience

One of the standout features of the TLR-1 HL-X is its customizable rear switches. With ambidextrous controls located near the trigger guard, the light is designed for both left- and right-handed users. It comes with both “High” and “Extended High” actuation switches, allowing users to select their preferred configuration. In addition, the light provides both momentary and constant-on operation, along with a user-activated strobe function for disorienting threats.

Convenience is further enhanced with the hinged face cap that enables front-loading battery changes without detaching the light from the firearm. This design ensures operators can quickly replace batteries while maintaining readiness.

Built for Tactical Use

Streamlight has crafted the TLR-1 HL-X from 6000 series machined aluminum with a durable black anodized finish. Weighing 5.19 ounces with the SL-B9 batteries or 4.94 ounces with CR123A batteries, and measuring 3.45 inches in length, the weapon light is built to withstand rigorous use. The light is IPX7-rated, making it waterproof up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, and its impact-resistant construction has been extensively live-fire tested to ensure reliable performance in the field.

The TLR-1 HL-X mounts quickly and securely to a variety of full-size and compact handguns, without requiring users to put their hands near the firearm’s muzzle, ensuring safe handling during installation.

Pricing and Availability

The TLR-1 HL-X USB, which includes two SL-B9 battery packs and a USB-C charging cable, is priced at $359.00, while the standard TLR-1 HL-X with two CR123A batteries has an MSRP of $335.00. Both versions come with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty and are available in black.

With its combination of high output, multi-fuel compatibility, and robust design, Streamlight’s TLR-1 HL-X USB/TLR-1 HL-X stands as a powerful and versatile lighting solution for tactical professionals seeking reliability and performance in high-stakes situations.
