Streamlight Adds New TLR-1 HL-X USB Model

Streamlight has updated the TLR-1 weapon light. The new TLR-1 HL-X USB ups the light output and adds new power options. Unlike earlier models, which had to be removed from the gun to replace the batteries from the rear, this new design accepts the batteries from the front.

Streamlight @ TFB:

• Streamlight TLR-7 X Sub: Small Size, Big Candlepower
• Friday Night Lights: Streamlight Sidewinder Stalk Multi-Spectrum Helmet Light
• Streamlight TLR-8 Sub Weapon Lights with Red/Green Lasers
• Streamlight Announces 2,000 Lumen ProTac 2.0 Rail Mount
• New Streamlight ProTac 2.0 Tactical Light with USB-C

This redesign resulted in a slightly longer light body and redesigned switches, and these new models are not compatible with all TLR-1 holsters.

The TLR-1 HL-X can run on two power sources:

• SL-B9®: 1,500 lumens; 20,000 candela; 283m beam distance; runs 1 hour
• CR123A: 1,000 lumens; 15,000 candela; 245m beam distance; runs 1.5 hours

Streamlight sells versions of the light with each power source included. The CR123 model has an MSRP of $335, and the SL-B9 rechargeable retails for $359. The rechargeable model also includes a “Y” charging cable to charge both batteries simultaneously. These new models are available at retailers now.

From the manufacturer:

“Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, introduced the TLR-1 HL®-X USB/TLR-1 HL®-X, a versatile weapon light for full-size handguns and long guns with rails, that features multi-fuel capability while delivering up to 1,500 lumens for extreme brightness in a variety of tactical uses. The high-lumen light gives users the choice of using either cost-saving SL-B9® USB-C rechargeable battery packs or 3-volt CR123A lithium batteries, depending on availability or user preference, while also offering new rear paddle switches and a hinged face cap to allow for convenient, front-loading battery replacement.

“This newest addition to the TLR® family gives tactical, outdoor and other users all the brightness, features and functionality they need, whether using it to clear a dark room, search alleys or light a dark path under low-light conditions,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “Like the best-selling TLR-1 HL®, it provides full situational awareness by delivering maximum illumination in a wide beam pattern, but now also offers multi-fuel technology, new customizable rear switches, and front-loading batteries.””
