There was a time when bright light required a massive piece of equipment. Fortunately, advances in LED technology have allowed for far more compact options. Streamlight’s upgraded TLR-7 sub-weapon-mounted tactical light delivers an impressively bright light in a very small package.
The new ultra-compact and low-profile TLR-7 X sub features multi-fuel operation with USB or disposable battery options while still delivering 500 lumens and 5,000 candela over a beam distance of 141 meters. The TIR optic can produce a concentrated beam that provides both extensive range and optimized peripheral coverage.
The new light is available in four different models to fit the Glock 43X/48 MOS and 43X/48 Rail; Sig Sauer P365 and P365 XL (closed rail system); the Springfield Armory Hellcat; and select 1913 short-railed subcompacts, including the Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 subcompact, Beretta PX4 Storm subcompact, Springfield Armory XD-E, XD-S and Hellcat Pro, Heckler & Koch HK45 compact, and Sig Sauer P365 XMACRO.
“We have re-invented our best-selling TLR-7 sub tactical light by giving users the choice of using either a cost-saving USB-C rechargeable battery pack or a disposable battery, depending on availability or user preference,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah.
“Like its forerunner, the new TLR-7 X sub is extremely bright, compact, and low-profile and can be mounted on many railed subcompact weapons for maximizing visibility and targeting capability in tactical situations,” added Sharrah. “It also has the same rear switches on the left and right of the trigger guard to allow for ambidextrous operation.”
It offers a run time of 1.5 hours with a 3-volt CR123A lithium battery and one hour with the Streamlight SL-B9 Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack inserted. The Li-Ion 850mAh battery pack, which can be installed or removed through the light’s face cap, eliminating the need to detach the light from the firearm, can charge within 2.5 hours via a USB-C cord. It is rechargeable for up to 500 cycles.
The TLR-7 X features a one-handed, snap-on, and tightened interface that keeps hands away from gun muzzles when attaching or detaching them, while it includes a “safe-off” feature, locking it so it cannot be turned on accidentally. The weapon-mounted tactical light measures just 2.51 inches in length, while it is constructed of 6000 Series machined aircraft aluminum with a black anodized finish; it weighs 2.39 ounces using a CR123A battery and 2.64 ounces with the SL-B9 rechargeable battery pack. It offers an impact-resistant construction with an IPX7-rated design, making it waterproof to one meter for 30 minutes.
