Streamlight

EDC lights are extremely handy tools and sit beside pocket knives in their usefulness. Most people will probably get more use from their EDC light than they ever will from their guns.

The unit supports both rechargeable SL-B26 batteries and CR123A cells, giving users flexibility depending on mission or logistics.

Streamlight recently came out with their all-new multi-fuel pistol weapon light, the 1,300 lumen TLR-1 HP-X. This light’s high-candela beam delivers a concentrated hotspot that reaches far beyond typical handgun distances.

Streamlight introduced the TLR-8 HL-X for SHOT Show 2025. This is a new high-power compact pistol light/laser combo based on the original TLR-8. 

Here is a short guide to help you be a bit more like sweet Aunt Suzan and keep your gift from ending up in the donation pile. 

I have been a fan of Streamlight for most of my life. With that in mind, you can understand how eager I was to try a TLR-7 HL-X when Streamlight offered to send me one for review.

This new dual-fuel model is intended to be a replacement for the original TLR-7 weapon light while maintaining holster compatibility.

With roughly half of every 24-hour cycle spent in darkness, the moments after sunset seem to be the most probable times to encounter a dangerous threat.

Identifying your target and seeing what is both in front of and behind it is critical any time we use a firearm. And that concept does not simply cease to bear weight as soon as we lose natural light.
