The Streamlight TLR-8 delivers tactical-grade illumination and green laser targeting specifically engineered for the Springfield Hellcat platform. This compact weapon light combines 500 lumens of white light with a 5mW green laser in a purpose-built housing that maintains the Hellcat's concealable profile.
What Makes This Different
Unlike universal weapon lights that require adapters or compromise fit, the TLR-8 features a custom rail interface designed exclusively for the Springfield Hellcat's unique rail system. The integrated green laser provides 5x better visibility than red lasers in daylight conditions, while the C4 LED technology delivers consistent 500-lumen output with 1.5 hours of runtime. The ambidextrous switching system allows for both momentary and constant activation without repositioning the firing grip.
Key Features
- 500-lumen C4 LED with 120-meter beam distance for target identification
- 5mW green laser with windage and elevation adjustment
- Springfield Hellcat-specific rail clamp with secure lockup
- Ambidextrous rear paddle switches for tactical operation
- IPX7 waterproof rating withstands 1-meter submersion
- Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
- Rail-Lock system prevents movement under recoil
Field testing demonstrates reliable function through 20,000+ activations and consistent zero retention after 1,000 rounds of .380 ACP and 9mm ammunition. The green laser remains visible to 25 yards in bright sunlight, extending effective engagement range in low-light scenarios. The 1.47-inch length adds minimal bulk to the Hellcat's compact frame while maintaining compatibility with most Hellcat-specific holsters.
