The Streamlight TLR-8 X G sub Weapon Light (part 69438) is a subcompact rail-mounted pistol weapon light with a daylight-visible green aiming laser, cut for subcompact pistols with a MIL-STD-1913 short rail. It produces 500 lumens output and 5,000 candela peak beam intensity for a 141-metre beam, and the laser alone will run for up to 11 hours.
Power is multi-fuel: one CR123A lithium cell is supplied, and the light also runs Streamlight's SL-B9 USB-C rechargeable pack. Ambidextrous high and low rear paddles give momentary and constant-on operation with a safe-off setting and a user-enabled strobe, in a 2.51 in body weighing 2.77–2.87 oz.
