The Streamlight TLR-8 delivers professional-grade illumination and target acquisition in a single compact unit. This weapon-mounted light combines 1,000 lumens of white light output with an integrated red laser for enhanced accuracy in low-light situations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic weapon lights that only provide illumination, the TLR-8 integrates both high-output LED lighting and precision laser targeting in one streamlined package. The dual-function design eliminates the need for separate accessories while maintaining the compact profile required for concealed carry and duty use. Independent activation switches allow users to operate the light and laser separately or simultaneously based on tactical requirements.
Key Features
- 1,000-lumen LED with 15,000 candela peak beam intensity for superior target identification
- Integrated 640-660nm red laser with <5mW output for precision aiming
- Ambidextrous paddle switches with independent light and laser control
- Universal 1913 Picatinny rail mounting system fits most pistols and rifles
- IPX7 waterproof rating withstands submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes
- Aircraft-grade aluminum construction with hard-anodized black finish
- Lithium CR123A battery provides 1.5 hours continuous runtime
The TLR-8 performs consistently across temperature extremes from -40°F to +120°F, making it suitable for law enforcement patrol, military operations, and civilian personal defense applications. The laser maintains zero through repeated recoil cycles, while the LED produces a focused beam pattern that illuminates targets at extended distances without excessive spill light that could compromise the user's position.
