The Streamlight TLR range — TLR-1, TLR-2, TLR-6, TLR-7, TLR-8, TLR-9, TLR-10 and the rail-mounted TLR RM units. Compact lights for pistols and carbines, including laser combos, HL high-lumen heads and the high-candela HP models.
The high-throw end is worth singling out. The TLR-1 HP-X USB puts 1,300 lumens behind 77,000 candela, which is a genuine lamping figure for night fox and vermin control, while the sub-compact TLR-7 X and TLR-8 X sit on a pistol without overhanging the muzzle.
Not sure which TLR fits your host? Our TLR model comparison sets them side by side, and we have put the two big brands head to head. Cross-shop SureFire's Scout Light Pro and X300 models, the wider Streamlight catalogue, Streamlight torches, light and laser combos and rechargeable models. Remote switches, tailcaps and spares are in weapon light accessories, the full line-up sits under tactical lighting, and our under-£250 round-up covers much of this range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which TLR fits a compact pistol?
The TLR-7 and TLR-7 X are the sub-compact options; the TLR-1 family is the full-size rail light for larger pistols and carbines. Check the rail length on your frame before ordering.
What do HL and HP mean?
HL is Streamlight's high-lumen version — more total output, usually with a wider beam. HP is the high-candela version, which trades spill for throw. For lamping at distance the HP and HP-X models are the ones to look at, and the lumens and candela chart explains why.
Do any carry an IR illuminator?
Yes — the TLR-VIR II pairs a 300 lumen white light with an IR illuminator, for use with a night vision device you already own. We do not stock night vision or thermal units; see our article on where they stand in the UK.
