Streamlight TLR-8 X Black LED Tactical Weapon Light with Red Laser Features and Performance

The Streamlight TLR-8 X Black LED Tactical Weapon Light with Red Laser is a compact rail-mounted handgun light built for shooters who want white-light capability, an integrated visible laser, and a streamlined fit on modern pistols. Its low-profile design helps it sit naturally on railed handgun setups without adding excessive bulk, making it a strong option for defensive, duty, and range applications where a practical light and laser combination is desirable. The overall format is designed for full-size and compact handguns that need a dependable aiming and illumination tool in a small footprint.

One of the key advantages of this model is its multi-fuel design. While this package includes one CR123A lithium battery, the light also accepts Streamlight’s SL-B9 rechargeable battery pack. With either power source, the white light produces 500 lumens, 5,000 candela, and a 141-meter beam distance. Runtime is rated at 1.5 hours on a CR123A battery and 1 hour on the SL-B9 battery pack, while the integrated 640-660nm red laser is rated for up to 60 hours on CR123A power and 36 hours on SL-B9 power. That gives users flexibility between traditional battery use and rechargeable convenience without changing the overall platform.

This model also includes interchangeable high and low rear paddle switches, allowing users to tailor the control setup to their handgun and shooting style. The front-loading battery arrangement helps simplify battery changes, and Streamlight’s safe-off feature is designed to help prevent accidental activation and save battery life. A user-enabled strobe function adds another layer of flexibility for shooters who want that option. These features help give the TLR-8 X a more refined feel than a basic handgun light while still keeping operation straightforward and practical.

Built from machined aluminum with a black anodized finish, the light is designed for serious real-world use. Streamlight lists overall length at 2.58 inches and weight at 2.64 ounces with the SL-B9 battery pack or 2.48 ounces with a CR123A battery. The TLR-8 X is also rated IPX4 water-resistant, helping support reliability in routine field and range conditions. For shooters looking for a compact handgun light with an integrated red laser, flexible battery compatibility, and durable construction, the Streamlight TLR-8 X Black LED Tactical Weapon Light with Red Laser is a strong fit.
