Streamlight is one of the most respected brands of weapon-mounted and handheld lights today. Their lights are used by the military, law enforcement, and civilians all over. I’ve used them for years, both the TLR-1HL and TLR-7 series of lights. They offer a ton of value with a rich feature set. Building on their legacy, Streamlight is releasing the TLR-3X gun light.

FEATURES
Built as one of the narrowest models in the TLR lineup, this 2.75-inch-long, 1.07-inch-wide light weighs just 2.15 ounces with a CR123A battery or 2.25 ounces with the Streamlight SL-B9 rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, and it can run on either. This flexibility powers a high-output LED that delivers 500 lumens and 6,500 candela, reaching 161 meters downrange, with run times of 1.5 hours on a CR123A or one hour on the 850mAh USB-C rechargeable SL-B9.
The snap-on-and-tighten mounting system allows quick, secure installation, while ambidextrous rear switches provide momentary, constant-on, and user-activated strobe modes. Available in 1913, 1913 Slim, and P365 models, the light features a heat-resistant, engineered-polymer body, a scratch-resistant BOROFLOAT lens, IPX7 waterproofing, live-fire-tested durability, and ships with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
ZOOMING OUT
The new TLR-3X builds on Streamlight’s legacy, offering a feature-rich, dual-fuel-compatible model at reasonable prices. Professionals and civilians alike trust Streamlight lights, making them among the most popular. Expected shipping in February.
