Product is awesome. Easy to install and works great.

focusing on Streamlight's TLR-1 HL, which now boasts 1,000 lumens and 20,000 candela. Although it's been around for a while, this model's brightness is particularly striking. For pistol-mounted lights, it's essential to have both a bright center hotspot and a good spill for closer scenarios, like in rooms or office complexes. Especially for those in security or law enforcement, a light like this offers the best of both. I've trusted Streamlight for ages, having used their lights on my rifles. They've endured thousands of rounds, rough use, and still perform exceptionally. What sets Streamlight apart is the performance you get for the price. I also mention the Mod Light PLH V2, another light option, but it's pricier, going for around $350 to $400. Understanding lumens and candela is crucial: lumens indicate the total light output, while candela measures the beam's intensity. Now, let's get into the specifics of this TLR-1 HL. It's the 1,000 lumen model, although there's also an 800 lumen version available. The design is solid, with easy-to-use activation switches. It also offers different modes, including a strobe mode for those who prefer it. It's powered by two batteries, providing 1.5 hours of consistent 1,000-lumen output. The light is waterproof up to one meter for 30 minutes, and it's versatile, fitting various standard pick rails. I also demonstrated its performance in various household environments, from hallways to rooms, and even at longer distances like 47 feet. The results were impressive: a good mix of spill and hotspot, suitable for both close quarters and more extended ranges. One concern some might have is if a light can be too bright. But, in my opinion, this light's brightness offers a balanced illumination without severely compromising natural night vision. In conclusion, the Streamlight TLR-1 HL is a reliable choice for those in need of a robust, versatile light without breaking the bank. If you want to check out this light or other products,

One word "Streamlight"

I have had a few gun lights in my time, and I prefer this one. It has a powerful light, and it doesn't stick out past the barrel on my Glocks and Sigs. It will go well with any full or carry sized weapon. It'll go on most sub-compacts as well, but it'll be a hair too long. The ad said the Streamlight 69260 tlr-1 hl didn't come with a strobe feature, but it does. Once installed, the controls are very well located. It also comes with a bunch of adapters so it fits very snug on many different types of rails. I actually put one on my AR when I happened to need it one day and it worked very well. I was surprised how well.

The CR123 powers this light well. It does add a little bit of weight to the front of your pistol, and I think (at least for me) that it helps me stay on target for the follow-up. The light is bright, and the beam is very even. It is so hopeful that if you shine it against a white wall, you may get enough bloom to impair your NV, so be prepared. Durable and my strobes even though the description says it does not. The only negative is that shiny chrome ring around the front of the light. Nothing that can't be fixed with a little black paint.

I bought two of these Streamlight 69260 tlr-1 hl lights a couple of years ago. One for myself and one for a good friend. Extremely bright with an excellent beam! Mounted it on my 10mm Glock 20 and loved it! Both of the ones I bought do have STROBE!! The battery latch on the one I kept for myself broke for some reason. I took it to an authorized dealer ( Lawmen's Supply), and in a few days, it was repaired and like new. No charge. Well worth the money.

Being a LEO who worked a ton of night shifts, a great light was essential!! I went through several views, but since I've found the TLR-1 HL, it's the only one I'll purchase. I've outfitted three guns so far, and more are planned. Being tasked as the Armorer for my agency, I've done tons of research on a bunch of different lights and equipment. I outfitted all our AR's with the TLR-1 HPL. Between these two lights, you CAN'T go wrong. They're also pretty easy on battery usage, only going through a couple of CR123s a year. Easy to use, long-lasting, extremely reliable... I can keep going, but I think you realize by now, I like this light! Purchase the TLR-1 HL and you won't be sorry!

First, let me preface this review by saying that I have one of these little powerhouses on one AR and three handguns (got the first three from another dealer and last one here). Like previous reviewers have stated, the Streamlight tlr-1 hl 800 lumen is indeed spectacularly bright for a light of its size. The throw is decent, and the flood is quite respectable compared with some of the current, comparable lights on the market. However, my issue is not with the light-throwing aspect, but rather the actual design of the body/housing itself. There are not many acute edges on these, and certainly, none that have not been "de-horned" to some extent, but the overall lines of the body, switch, and bezel do not flow together and thus find a way to catch on the insides of my EDC bag, 3-day pack, etc. The cantilever style switch protrudes enough that I regularly find the light on or drained from sitting in a bag for just a few hours, having caught on some nylon or cotton canvas. These lights are great little lights if you employ them with tact and common sense, but fall short in the design category. I like them in the MOUT town and kill-houses I regularly train in, not so much at home. The sidearm mounted lights will be replaced once somebody releases a light as capable as the HL, but with a better thought out design. Two final notes: these lights get REAL hot after prolonged use; and kudos to Streamlight for including mounting options for multiple rail interfaces (Glock/"Universal," Mil Std-1913, SW-TSW/99 and Beretta 90two). This allows the same light to migrate between my issued weapon and my range toy with relative ease.

I have had the Streamlight 69260 TLR-1 HL for about two years. The specs on this website state this model does not have the strobe feature, but mine does. I also checked Streamlight's website, and they show this model has strobe. I have never found a better value to complete my home defense handgun (S&W M&P full frame 9mm). At this price point, this light includes the two things you need. A blinding light that will illuminate the room and the target area, and the strobe that will disorient any individual who makes eye contact with the light. I learned this while practicing in my home and inadvertently shining the light in my mirror. Wow! I don't care for lasers, so this light is everything I want at an incomparable price. In my opinion, in a defense situation in my home, I don't need or want a laser. Hit the target with the blinding light and unload all 17 rounds. Reload and repeat if necessary.

I recently purchased the Streamlight TLR-1 HL (in black). I bought this as an addition to my Sig Sauer P220R. The first thing that I noticed (aside from the fast shipping) is that it was the newer 800-lumen model. After reading the instructions and changing the key, the installation was a snap. The light stays solidly mounted to the pistol, and the controls are easily accessible as well as easy to manipulate. I haven't fired the pistol with the light mounted yet, but I am looking forward to it. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it.

Put this Streamlight TLR-1 HL on my lightest AR. Those 800 lumens light up the night. Strobe in the mirror in the daylight not only blinds you but will disorient you. I thought the price was too low for it to be real. The first time I lit it up proved me wrong. This thing is excellent. This rifle and light combo are going to be my go-to rig when things go bump in the dark.

The Streamlight TRL-1 HL is a great weapon light. The increase in light output from the regular TLR-1 is more than worth the cost, so if you're looking at them, definitely get the HL version. I have both the Streamlight TRL-1 HL and the Surefire X300U, and they are both remarkably similar in light output, both in intensity and spread. The Streamlight, however, is about half the cost, and I prefer the TLR-1 on my duty weapon because the switch is significantly easier to actuate so that I can use it with only one hand. This is important in a defensive situation where you may sustain an injury that disables an arm. I have had 3 TRL variants and have never experienced any issues with them on handguns, rifles, or shotguns and highly recommended.
