The Streamlight TLR-8 delivers tactical-grade illumination and precision targeting in a compact package engineered for serious applications. This weapon-mounted light combines 1,000 lumens of white light with a green laser sight, providing operators with enhanced target identification and engagement capabilities in low-light conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic weapon lights that offer only illumination, the TLR-8 integrates both high-output LED technology and green laser sighting in a single unit. The green laser provides 5x better visibility than red lasers in daylight conditions, while the 1,000-lumen output significantly outperforms standard 300-500 lumen tactical lights. The dual-fuel capability accepts both CR123A and rechargeable 18650 batteries, eliminating dependency on proprietary power sources.
Key Features
- 1,000-lumen white LED with 15,000 candela peak beam intensity for superior target identification
- Green laser sight with <5mW output, visible up to 100 yards in daylight conditions
- Ambidextrous rear paddle switches allow independent or simultaneous light/laser activation
- Universal rail clamp system fits Picatinny and Glock-style rails without tools
- Dual-fuel design operates on CR123A lithium or 18650 rechargeable batteries
- Aircraft-grade aluminum construction with anodized finish resists corrosion
- IPX7 waterproof rating withstands submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes
The TLR-8 maintains zero through thousands of rounds while delivering consistent performance across temperature extremes from -40°F to +120°F. Law enforcement agencies rely on this configuration for patrol rifles and entry weapons, while competitive shooters appreciate the instant target acquisition advantage. The 2.5-hour runtime on high output ensures reliable operation during extended training sessions or critical incidents.
