Streamlight 69465 Tlr-8 Black Aluminum 1,000 Lumens Red Laser

The Streamlight TLR-8 is a high-output rail-mounted light and laser combo built for shooters who need serious reach and daylight-capable brightness on their pistol or rifle. This isn't a backup light—it's engineered with a tighter, longer-reaching beam than standard rail lights, pairing 1,000 lumens of white light with an integrated red laser to give you redundancy in aiming systems and the kind of performance that works in bright conditions. Black anodized aluminum construction keeps it tough and corrosion-resistant, while the ambidextrous rear paddle switches let you run it your way, whether you favor left- or right-hand activation.

What sets the TLR-8 apart is its flexible power system. It ships with a Streamlight SL-B9 USB-C rechargeable lithium-ion battery that delivers the full 1,000-lumen punch for 30 minutes, or you can dial it down to 500 lumens and run twice as long. Out of USB-C juice? Drop in a standard CR123A battery and you've got a backup configuration that runs 1.5 hours on 500 lumens. The red laser mode sips power and runs for nearly 30 hours, making it reliable as a pointer when you need it without draining your battery. A safe-off feature prevents accidents in the holster, and the strobe function is there if you need it.

At just over 3 ounces and 2.9 inches long, the TLR-8 won't add noticeable bulk to your setup. The rail grip clamp locks on tight without requiring your hands near the muzzle, and it detaches just as easily. IPX4 water resistance means it'll handle weather and sweat without issue. Assembled in the USA and backed by Streamlight's limited lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What batteries does the TLR-8 use, and what comes in the box?

The TLR-8 ships with a Streamlight SL-B9 USB-C rechargeable protected lithium-ion battery pack included. It's also compatible with a single CR123A lithium battery as a backup or alternative. You get full 1,000-lumen output on the SL-B9, but only 500 lumens if you switch to a CR123A.

How long does the red laser run, and is it useful for backup aiming?

The red laser mode runs for approximately 29 hours on a full charge, making it extremely efficient as a backup aiming tool. It's an integrated second aiming system alongside the white light beam, giving you redundancy if your primary sight picture fails.

Can I use the TLR-8 on both pistols and rifles?

Yes—the TLR-8 uses a Picatinny rail clamp that fits any standard mil-spec rail on pistols or rifles. The clamp attaches and detaches securely without requiring your hands in front of the muzzle.

Is the TLR-8 weather-resistant?

Yes. It's rated IPX4 water-resistant, meaning it can handle rain, sweat, and typical outdoor conditions. The anodized aluminum construction also resists corrosion.
