Streamlight’s new TLR-7A FLEX rail-mounted light comes with two ergonomic ambidextrous tail switches to fit your hands regardless of your grip or shooting style. Small enough to fit even sub-compact guns, the LED light delivers 5,000 candela and 500 lumens over a beam distance of 140 meters.

As many shooters know, finding a pistol light that puts the switch right where it needs to be can be a challenge. The FLEX solves this problem.

Two separate ambidextrous on/off switches to securely fit a broad range of full-sized and compact guns.

“Our newest light features ambidextrous on/off rear switches with low and high positions to suit user preference, and a rail clamp that attaches and detaches easily from the side of compact and full-frame handguns,” said Ray Sharrah, Streamlight President and CEO.

“Like the original TLR-7, it is designed to maximize visibility and targeting capability in a variety of home defense and tactical applications,” he continued.

    It will be great if the companies started making handgun lights smaller while not compromising on lumens and the beam of light. I would also like to find out if anyone including police officers had any incidents were a strobe light resolved / or help resolve a combative situation.
    My point : Strobe lights = good or gimmick.
