The Streamlight TLR-8 HL-X Sub (Model 69468) combines powerful illumination and a red aiming laser in a compact design tailored for subcompact handguns with short 1913 rails. Its 1000-lumen LED provides a 200-meter beam, while the red laser enhances target acquisition. The light operates on a multi-fuel system, accepting either the included SL-B9 USB-C rechargeable battery or a standard CR123A lithium battery.
Constructed from durable anodized aluminum, the TLR-8 HL-X Sub features ambidextrous rear paddle switches, a safe-off function to prevent accidental activation, and a user-enabled strobe. Its rail grip clamp system allows for secure attachment and detachment without tools.
