Streamlight 69475 Tlr-8 Black Aluminum 1,000 Lumens Green Laser
The Streamlight TLR-8 is a rail-mounted tactical light and laser system built for shooters who need serious versatility on a patrol rifle, home-defense carbine, or tactical pistol. This compact combo packs 1,000 lumens of white light plus a green laser aiming solution in a single aluminum body that weighs just over 3 ounces—light enough that you won't notice it slung on your gun, yet powerful enough to reach out to 297 meters and illuminate targets in challenging conditions.
What makes the TLR-8 stand out is its flexibility. Run it on Streamlight's included SL-B9 USB-C rechargeable battery for maximum output and runtime, or swap to a standard CR123A lithium cell if you're in the field without a charger. You get true dual-fuel capability—a rare feature in this class. The light output adjusts on the fly: blast full 1,000 lumens when you need maximum range and brightness, or dial down to 500 lumens for closer work and longer battery life. The green laser runs independently for 10 hours on a battery, giving you a dedicated aiming tool that doesn't drain your light battery.
The paddle switches are truly ambidextrous, so whether you shoot left or right and prefer high or low output, the TLR-8 adapts to your grip and technique. A safe-off feature kills accidental activation, strobe mode breaks up target movement if needed, and the durable anodized aluminum stands up to hard use. IPX4 water resistance means it'll handle rain and spray without failure. The rail clamp attaches and detaches safely without forcing your hands across the muzzle—a detail that matters every time you mount or remove it.
Built in the USA and engineered with that classic Streamlight durability, the TLR-8 combines white light precision, laser targeting, and tactical ease of use in a package no heavier than a spare magazine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the TLR-8 on both a pistol and a rifle?
Yes. The TLR-8 is a rail-mounted light and laser system compatible with any Picatinny or Weaver rail found on AR-pattern rifles, patrol carbines, tactical shotguns, and rail-equipped pistols. The rail grip clamp securely attaches and detaches from any standard rail.
What battery comes with the TLR-8?
The Streamlight SL-B9 USB-C rechargeable protected lithium-ion battery pack is included. You can also use a standard CR123A lithium battery if you prefer single-use disposable power, but output and runtime will differ (500 lumens, 1.5-hour runtime on CR123A vs. 1,000 lumels and 30-minute runtime on the SL-B9).
Can I use the laser and light at the same time?
Yes. The laser and white light operate independently, so you can use one, the other, or both together depending on your tactical situation or training needs.
Is the TLR-8 waterproof?
The TLR-8 is IPX4 water-resistant, meaning it will handle rain, spray, and moisture in field conditions. However, it is not fully submersible and should not be intentionally submerged.
