69260 TLR-1 HL 1000-Lumen 20000 Candela Rail-Mounted Tactical Weapon Light with Specific Compatibility Rail Locating Keys, Black

We’ve purchased many TLR-1HL weapon lights over the years for law enforcement use, and they have consistently performed great. The 1,000-lumen output is very bright with excellent beam pattern and reach, making it highly effective in low-light and duty situations. These lights are extremely durable and reliable, and the lifetime warranty adds great peace of mind. Fit is excellent. We’ve used them on Glock 17s and Glock 19s with no issues, and mounting is secure. Simple to operate, built to last, and proven in the field. A trusted, high-quality weapon light that we continue to rely on.

My favorite light that Ive ever run. The controls feel natural on everything ive attached it to. Bright as day and sturdy. Its as good as any high priced light ive used.

I've had my Surefire X300 Ultra for some time now and it's a great light. I finally got around to buying this TLR-1 HL light since I wanted a small light for my AR rifle. This works great with the way the momentary switch activates the light, to how I hold the rifle and where my thumb rests. However, I recently removed it from my AR to go with a different light on it, and put the TLR-1 HL onto my Glock 19... my Glock 17 has my X300 Ultra on it. Some things that you notice right away between the 2 popular weapon-mounted lights is that the X300 Ultra is much longer than the TLR-1 lights. The X300U light sticks out much further in front of the muzzle on any gun, compared to the TLR-1 lights. However, the finish on the Surefire lights is much better and more durable than the anodized finish on the TLR-1 lights. After shooting a few hundred rounds with both lights on my Glocks, I can easily wipe away the power blast from the X300, but on my TLR light I can see a slight haze where it started to burn into the anodized finish. My previous TLR-1s was like this too, so it seems to be the same with all Streamlight weapon-mounted lights. The other noticeable things that you recognize right away is that the shiny chrome ring on the TLR lights really stands out on a handgun, and not in a good way IMO. I wish there was an easy way to get rid of this besides using a toothpick and piece of sandpaper to dull the surface, and then using a Birchwood Casey black paint pen to fill it in (which actually matches the rest of the light perfectly). Also, the mounting system is very easy to use with the X300 light as it just clips right onto my Glock frames, but the TLR lights are more modular and can fit onto a lot more guns & rails with ease. For aesthetics purposes, I like the clean & smoother lines of the X300 lights on any handgun, but that's just a personal preference. As for the light brightness itself, the X300 Ultra is rated at 500 lumens and the TLR-1 HL at 630 lumens. However, that doesn't really matter much in this case when looking at both LED's and their housings. The TLR-1 HL LED is slightly larger, but it sits more forward in a shallow reflector, thus making it into a good 'flood' light. The X300 Ultra LED is recessed further back and has a much longer reflector that's shaped to make the light more of a 'thrower' with a much brighter hotspot, which is what it exactly does. When shining both lights side by side, one thing you'll notice right away is the X300 Ultra is more of a neutral white color, and the TLR-1 HL is more of a cool white color (more blue looking). Also, the hotspot on the X300 is very bright and precise. On the TLR-1 HL, it's a little fuzzy since the reflector doesn't focus on this, but it's still bright looking. The other thing that you notice is the immediate light surrounding the hotspot area on the TLR-1 HL is a little brighter, but the overall spill (flood of the entire light) is much bigger on the X300 Ultra. The lines on the hotspot and spill are sharper on the X300 Ultra than on the TLR-1 HL. However, at price point where the TLR-1 HL is about 40% cheaper than the X300 Ultra, it's still a very good light and does exactly what it was intended for. But for a few extra bucks, personally I would stick with the X300 Ultra... that's not to say I'm going to get rid of this, I'm going still going to use it since it's a very good & bright light. So with the heavily debated argument saying that 500 or 630 lumens on a weapon-mounted light is way too much for home defense use..... I say use whatever you want and what you're comfortable with (I have much brighter handheld flashlights and I'm comfortable with using them in all environments). Yes, both lights are extremely bright in my house and can be too much if I shine it directly at a wall in front of me and get the after effect from the wash back. However, I've done some low light courses and they stress on how and where you point the light. With some training and some common sense, you can utilize an extremely bright weapon-mounted light to your advantage. You don't need to point the muzzle & light directly at your target when identifying it (unless you know it's a badguy for sure and you want to blind or disorient him), but shining either the X300 Ultra or TLR-1 HL lights above or to the side of a target will create plenty of spill to illuminate them up and positively identify them and also see what's in their hands. If you live on a ranch where there's a lot of open area that's dark with some long distances, the X300 Ultra will probably be the better bet. For the urban environment where most of us are, the TLR-1 HL may work out better, but the X300 Ultra still works just as well too. You just have to figure out what light is going to best work for you and for your environment & duties (whether it's the TLR-1HL or a X300 Ultra, or even another light).

Bought this in July of 2020 for my Beretta 92A1, with it's main purpose being for home defense, which I have thankfully never had to carry out. Long story short, I can light up an entire room no matter the size, and it always works. The quick flick to turn the light on for a second, or to flick it multiple times for strobe, or to flick the opposite direction for continuing light, all works flawlessly. Havent had to replace any batteries or do anything to iin over 5 years, and it still works perfectly. Long story short, it does exactly what it's supposed to, and for the price it's years of service will make it a cheap expense.

As with everything Stream light it is wonderful Works every time you flipped the switch have them on four or five guns like to have them on all my guns.

I thought I'd reviewed this already, but whatever, 2 years later and I can still say the same thing about the TLR-1 HL, it's awesome! It finds itself mounted on the same weapon most of the time and it's one I use "in the field" so to speak, whether working or hunting in fall/winter. I also carry a HL-x usually just as backup when it's dark which is pretty common especially hunting hogs. The TLR-1 HL exceeded my expectations! With it I can light up a tree-line at night from 200 yards. Up close I've learned to brace myself so I don't hit something close and end up blinding myself temporarily. It's incredibly bright. For up close defensive use, it's hard not to believe that the light alone would be enough to stop a threat inside the house or in close quarters, and the strobe, even more so. Anyone that has any gear that will be used for defensive purposes needs to stay familiar with it often. If you don't "train" or familiarize yourself often, you'll remember how to effectively use the light to incapacitate an unwanted visitor without incapacitating yourself. I check batteries and keep fresh on hand but I'll tell you, the batteries last! I try to keep the rechargeable (via USB port) batteries on hand and find they hold a charge for an incredible amount of time. I check them every now and then and they never need but a few minutes to top off. In use, I've only ran 1 down 1 time and it had a lot of use. Again, this light is fantastic, very bright, controls are smooth and accurate always, and switching from one system to another is a breeze, yet it secures very solid. Even at the current, slightly higher price than I paid about 2 years ago, it's a no brainer and worth every penny! I find that with all 4 Streamlights I have.

Great light and very bright. I had to youtube how to put the batteries in, but other than that fits perfect on my Echelon 4.5. It sticks out beyond the barrel, which I prefer case I need to get up and personal. It allows the action to not jam. Very bright with great coverage and distance. Highly recommend.

Produit impeccable. Merci

Perfetto. Arrivato in anticipo.

Me encanta la linterna, muy buena calidad, hace falta modificacion depende del modelo

This Streamlight throws a wide, bright beam. It is very good as a flood light and is well suited for a handgun or shotgun. The beam isn't really suited for a rifle application and the controls would make it more difficult to use on a rifle. Seams to be well made, though I haven't fired many rounds since I mounted it. Time will tell how durable it is.

This light is worth the money. Build and finish are great. Very durable (and waterproof). It is bigger than I thought it would be and adds noticeable weight to your firearm. The weight is well worth it. The activation switch is again great quality and is easily activated with your support thumb. The light is pretty intense for indoor use (be cognizant of reflective surfaces), but works well indoor and out. The beam has nice spill that makes for quicker room clearing as opposed to some lights and their spotlight beams. Runs on two cr123's. The light installs very easily and snaps on with spring tension while you hand tighten the adjuster. Overall very happy with this purchase and would recommend it. I would also like to mention that I had absolutely fantastic customer service from amazon with this purchase.
