Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X USB

Streamlight recently introduced the TLR-7 HL-X USB handgun light, a higher-intensity version of the TLR-7 X USB that shares the latter’s ability to draw from two different types of batteries, but instead generates up to a 1,000-lumen/22,000-candela concentrated beam of light that can reach out to 325 yards—more than twice the distance of other TLR-7s.

Capable of using either a standard CR123A lithium battery or a USB-C-rechargeable SL-B9 battery pack, the HL-X is compatible with a broad assortment of full-size and compact semi-automatic pistol models.

The 2.8-oz. unit features customizable paddle switches and comes with six modular rail inserts that take only a minute to change out.

MSRP is $295 (black), $310 (flat dark earth). For more information, visit streamlight.com.
