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.

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).

First time firearm owner and wanted a decent weapon light. Surefire seems like the go-to brand however I didn't want to shell out $250+. Read the reviews for Streamlight and took a chance...glad I did. For me: PROS: -Light is bright and shined brighter than my 800 lumen tac flashlight so 1000 lumens claim seem right on. -Strobe function is pretty wicked and should do a great job of blinding a target well. -Switch feels pretty sturdy when activated -Mounting was a snap (multiple locking keys included) and it fit perfectly on my G17 right out of the package CONS: -Takes 2 CR123A (no biggie and for the higher lumens it's worth it imo) -Light sticks out beyond muzzle about 1/2 - 3/4 inch. Wish it was a little shorter but for the higher lumens It's worth it (and after having it for about a month and a half now, it's starting to grow on my) One tip I might add, which I read on multiple sites, is to put some kind of "protective coating" on the lens itself if you practice with it on. I'm a noob and didn't understand what the crusty stuff building up on the lens was but after researching and learning that this build up can block the light output over time. From what I read, a good "coating" might be chapstick. I've yet to try it but am hoping that this will work. I've been lucky in that the light hasn't fallen off after about 5 sessions at the range but I've heard that a little loctite on the locking screw might do the trick. I'll continue to take my chances. My rating is 5 stars so far. If you're looking for a pretty good light at a pretty good price, this is the one.

This light is pretty awesome, it’s bright, not too heavy, easy to actuate when mounted, and It fits great. I thought it would be a bit smaller, but it’s still compact enough to keep in concealed in the proper holster. Absolutely would buy again.

Small, blinding, easy to use. Batteries are tricky to figure out at first due to a weird hinge door setup, like a watch clasp. Really expensive, but has second kind of cool factor and a name you can trust

Produit impeccable. Merci

Perfetto. Arrivato in anticipo.

Super bright for the price. Eats expensive batteries but thats what you get for a bright light. Looks and functions great

東京マルイG17、G18Cに、TLR-1HLを装着。 「サファリランド製6378 ALSパドルホルスター＋ウィズライト：GLOCK G20/21用」に挿しました。 すべり具合やロックのフェーリングは、完全にOKで素晴らしいものでした。 このホルスターはライト非装着でも銃を保持ロックできますが、そのフィーリングは装着時の方が良かったです！ ガタつきは皆無で不安になる固さもなく、スムーズな抜き差しが可能でした。 保持力の調整はホルスター横中央のネジの締め込みで行い、当品の場合はレンズ幅に合わせ「最弱」にしました。 全長はX300に比べ短いので、ホルスターライト蓋にライト先端は届かず隙間ができます（写真）が、保持性能には全く影響ありません。 尚、明るさは実用十分であり、作りは本物だけあって最高です。 レンズ部が完全クリアーなTLR-1より、HLの方がリフレクターのモロ見えが無く好みでした。 懐中電灯っぽさがないのがグッドｗ
