Streamlight TLR-8 X Sub Glock 43X/48 Black LED Tactical Weapon Light with Red Laser Features and Performance

The Streamlight TLR-8 X Sub Glock 43X/48 Black LED Tactical Weapon Light with Red Laser is a compact rail-mounted light built for Glock 43X MOS, Glock 48 MOS, Glock 43X Rail, and Glock 48 Rail pistols. Its low-profile design helps it fit naturally on slimmer carry and defensive handgun setups while still delivering dependable white-light performance and an integrated red laser in a compact package. For shooters who want a dedicated subcompact handgun light and laser without moving up to a much larger full-size unit, this model offers a strong balance of fitment, practical output, and streamlined handling.

One of the biggest strengths of this model is its multi-fuel design. While this package includes one CR123A lithium battery, the light itself also accepts Streamlight’s SL-B9 USB 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 CR123A power and 1 hour with the SL-B9 battery pack, while laser runtime is rated at 60 hours on CR123A power and 36 hours on the SL-B9 battery pack. That gives users the flexibility to stay with a traditional battery setup or move to a rechargeable option later without changing the overall platform.

This model is also designed around practical handgun use. Streamlight includes interchangeable high and low rear paddle switches so users can tailor the control setup to their handgun and preferred activation style. The front-loading battery design helps simplify battery changes, and the safe-off feature is intended to help prevent accidental activation and conserve battery life. A user-enabled strobe function adds another layer of flexibility for shooters who want additional control options in a compact weapon light setup.

Built from 6000 series machined aircraft aluminum with a black anodized finish, the light is designed for serious real-world use. Streamlight also rates it IPX4 water-resistant, and the rail-grip clamp system is designed to attach and detach securely without putting hands in front of the muzzle. For shooters looking for a compact Glock-specific handgun light with an integrated red laser, flexible battery compatibility, and durable construction, the Streamlight TLR-8 X Sub Glock 43X/48 Black LED Tactical Weapon Light with Red Laser is a strong fit.
