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. The ability to visually identify targets is paramount in such scenarios. You can\u2019t shoot what you can\u2019t see, and identification can make the difference between life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-streamlight-tlr-rm-2-specifications\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"upgraded-streamlight-tlr-rm-2-meet-the-new-hpl-face-cap\" title=\"Upgraded Streamlight TLR RM 2!

Among their latest offerings is the TLR RM 2 coming with the new HPL face cap. This model stands out for its lightweight and compact design. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamlight.com\/products\/detail\/tlr-rm2-laser-g\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"upgraded-streamlight-tlr-rm-2-meet-the-new-hpl-face-cap\" title=\"Upgraded Streamlight TLR RM 2! Meet the New HPL Face Cap\">TLR RM 2 LASER<\/a> weapon-mounted light features the HPL face cap, which concentrates the beam pattern to deliver 22,000 candela. Its ergonomic multi-function tail switch allows for both momentary and constant on modes, along with push-button and remote pressure switch operation. Additionally, a dedicated toggle switch facilitates easy selection of the integrated green laser modes. With its ambidextrous design, this light can securely attach to any MIL Standard 1913 or NATO rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-streamlight-tlr-rm-2-specifications\">Streamlight TLR RM 2 Specifications:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lumens: 1,000<br \/>Run Time: 1.50 hours<br \/>Beam Distance: 297 meters<br \/>Max Candela: 22,000<br \/>Laser Green\/Red: 640 &#8211; 660 nm \/ 510 &#8211; 530 nm<br \/>Output: &lt;5 mW<br \/>Battery Type: CR123A Lithium<br \/>Battery Quantity: 2<br \/>Length: 4.97 inches<br \/>Weight: 5.11 ounces<br \/>Colors: Black<br \/>Operating temperature: -40\u00b0F to +120\u00b0F.<br \/>Water Resistant Rating: IPX4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-variants-of-the-tlr-rm-2\">Variants Of the TLR RM 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Streamlight is offering the TLR RM 2 in six different configurations. The one I tested for this review was the TLR RM 2 Laser-G. However, there is also a red Laser-R option, as well as the basic TLR RM 2 which has no laser at all. Each of these three options can be purchased with or without the lighting system. This system adds about $30 and consists of a remote pressure switch, and rail adaptors to mount the switch on your rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-out-of-the-box\">Out of the Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Straight out of the box, the Streamlight TLR RM 2 Laser-G comes fully equipped with two CR123A batteries, a pressure switch, two pressure switch rail adaptors, two screws, a 3M adhesive strip, zip ties, an Allen wrench, an owner&#8217;s manual, and of course, the TLR RM 2 unit itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3619-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Unboxing the Streamlight TLR RM 2\" class=\"wp-image-201276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3619-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3619-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3619-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3619-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3619.jpg 1349w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">All included contents with the Streamlight TLR RM 2 pressure pad combo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-controls\">Controls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two convenient methods to operate the TLR RM 2 Laser: using the built-in power button or the pressure pad. Thanks to its ergonomic design, this weapon light is naturally user-friendly even without the pressure pad. Throughout my testing, I primarily relied on the integrated rubber button, experiencing no difficulties whatsoever. Much like other Streamlight weapon lights, a simple click of the button activates the light or laser. Holding the button down triggers a momentary mode, which deactivates as soon as the button is released\u2014this functionality remains consistent when using the pressure pad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3621-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A Streamlight WML closeup\" class=\"wp-image-201278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3621-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3621-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3621-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3621-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3621.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The power button for the TLR RM 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Built into the side of the housing is a three-position switch. This gives users the ability to toggle between white light only, light and laser, or laser only. It is fairly low profile to keep from getting bumped out of position, yet easy to access and adjust quickly if needed. I particularly value the versatility of being able to switch between these modes on the fly, finding each mode suitable for different tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3617-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The light options on the TLR RM 2\" class=\"wp-image-201277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3617-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3617-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3617-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3617-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3617.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Top position is for light and laser, middle is for white light only, and the bottom is for laser only<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pressure-pad\">Pressure Pad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For users who prefer the convenience of the pressure pad, it comes with two rail mounts designed to securely attach to a Picatinny rail. Installation is straightforward: simply choose your preferred location and snap it into place. Two screws are provided to firmly secure the pressure pad into these plastic rail mounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3616-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pressure pad with cables on the TLR RM 2\" class=\"wp-image-201279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3616-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3616-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3616-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3616-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3616.jpg 1458w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pressure pad mounted up with some cable management needed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the pressure pad functions perfectly well, I must note that the plug-in connection doesn&#8217;t snugly lock into the TLR RM 2. If this setup suits your needs, I highly recommend using a zip tie to keep it securely in place or positioning the pressure pad snugly against the back of the WML housing to prevent any potential backing out of the plug-in connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3620-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"A plugin on the back of a WML \" class=\"wp-image-201280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3620-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3620-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3620-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3620-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3620.jpg 1328w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Plugin built into the back of the TLR RM 2 for a pressure pad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adjustments\">Adjustments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The TLR RM 2 Laser offers both windage and elevation adjustments, which are conveniently recessed deep into the housing to prevent accidental changes. To zero in the laser, use the provided Allen wrench. If using alongside a <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/red-dot-vs-iron-sights-which-is-better\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"upgraded-streamlight-tlr-rm-2-meet-the-new-hpl-face-cap\" title=\"Upgraded Streamlight TLR RM 2!

To enable this mode, simply press the power button very rapidly 9 times and hold down on the 10th button press for a second until the strobing turns off which indicates reprogramming was successful. The same procedure can be followed to disable strobe mode, but once it is enabled just double-tap the activation button and the light will start strobing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-battery-life-of-the-tlr-rm-2\">Battery Life of the TLR RM 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Powered by two CR123A batteries, this weapon-mounted light boasts a runtime of approximately 1.5 hours with or without the laser activated. When in strobe mode, the runtime extends to 3 hours, while using only the laser provides a battery life of 11 hours. Although battery performance may diminish in colder climates, it remains comparable to other WMLs in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing batteries is a breeze: simply unscrew the head of the light to access the battery compartment, ensuring no shift to the laser&#8217;s zero. Streamlight has also thoughtfully included a lockout mode. To prevent accidental light\/laser activation, rotate the head counterclockwise by about a quarter turn to deactivate the light. When needed, simply tighten the head by rotating it a quarter turn clockwise to reactivate the light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-testing-the-tlr-rm-2\">Testing The TLR RM 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After firing hundreds of rounds with this light\/laser combo, I can attest to its durability and reliability. Primarily used on a full-auto 10.5&#8243; <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=Bushmaster%20AR15\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"upgraded-streamlight-tlr-rm-2-meet-the-new-hpl-face-cap\" title=\"Upgraded Streamlight TLR RM 2! Meet the New HPL Face Cap\">AR15<\/a>, both the laser and light performed great. The laser maintained its zero and the light remained steady even during rapid-fire sequences of up to 30 rounds in mere seconds. For those interested in witnessing its performance firsthand, I&#8217;ve shared a video on my Instagram page as seen below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C5oyh4wLasA\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"><div style=\"padding:16px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C5oyh4wLasA\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"upgraded-streamlight-tlr-rm-2-meet-the-new-hpl-face-cap\" title=\"Upgraded Streamlight TLR RM 2!

Crafted from 6000 series aluminum, this WML boasts robust construction. It also carries an IPX4 rating, making it spray-proof, though it&#8217;s not suitable for submersion. This means it should hold up fine in the rain, but should not be held underwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEE MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/everything-you-really-need-to-know-about-picking-a-long-gun-light-lumens\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"upgraded-streamlight-tlr-rm-2-meet-the-new-hpl-face-cap\" title=\"Upgraded Streamlight TLR RM 2!
