Streamlight has just unveiled a new product family of 500-lumen TLR-8 tactical lights with different features like lights, red lasers, green lasers and dual-fuel battery sources. 

“These new lights, like their originals, are designed to maximize shooters’ weapon platforms in a variety of home defense and tactical applications,” said Streamlight president and chief executive officer Ray Sharrah. “The red laser models maximize visibility and long-range targeting capability, while the green-laser versions improve users’ ability to focus on targets during daylight, as the color green appears brighter to the human eye than other colored lasers. And all models are multi-fuel, giving users the choice of using either a CR123A lithium battery or Streamlight’s cost-saving SL-B9® USB-C rechargeable battery pack, depending on availability or user preference.”

The light inside each of the new Streamlight TLR-8 models uses a high-power white LED bulb that delivers 5,000 candela and 500 lumens with a maximum beam throw distance of 141 meters and features a custom optic array that delivers a focused beam that optimizes peripheral illumination.

The Streamlight TLR-8 X and TLR-8 X sub include a 640 to 660 nm red aiming laser, while the TLR-8 X G and TLR-8 X G sub feature a 510 to 530 nm green aiming laser. All four models in the new Streamlight TLR-8 family are powered by either one 3-volt CR 123A lithium battery or one 850 mAh Li-Ion USB-C rechargeable SL-B9 battery pack, charged with the aid of an USB-C cord or optional bank charger. Both types of batteries can be installed or removed through the face cap, eliminating the need to remove the light from the weapon.

These lights are constructed with 6000-series, machined aircraft aluminum with a black anodized finish and feature a BOROFLOAT impact and scratch-resistant lens. The TLR-8 X and TLR-8 X G each weigh 2.64 ounces with a disposable battery, and 2.74 ounces with the SL-B9 battery pack. With their impact-resistant construction, the Streamlight TLR-8 series has an IPX4-rated design for water-resistant operation.
