STREAMLIGHT TLR-8 HL-X G Sub 1000 Lumen USB Multi-Fuel With Green Laser For 1913 Gun Light (69478)

Product Info for STREAMLIGHT TLR-8 HL-X G Sub With Green Laser For 1913 Gun Light 69478

A subcompact pistol presents a real challenge for weapon lights. The rail is shorter, the frame is smaller, and most full-size lights simply don't fit or look ridiculous when they do. The TLR-8 HL-X G Sub was engineered specifically for 1913 railed subcompact handguns, so the fit is clean, and the proportions make sense.

Output starts at 1,000 lumens and 10,000 candela when running the included SL-B9 USB-C rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. That's a long-reaching beam designed to push light further downrange than standard weapon lights in this class. 

You can also program it down to 500 lumens for a one-hour runtime if the mission calls for longer battery life. Drop in a CR123A lithium battery, and you get 500 lumens for 1.5 hours without needing to recharge anything. Green laser mode runs 10 hours on either power source.

The multi-fuel capability is worth emphasizing. When your rechargeable pack is drained, a CR123A gets you back online immediately. No proprietary dead end. The USB-C charging keeps the SL-B9 pack topped off between uses with any standard cable.

Ambidextrous rear paddle switches let you select HIGH or LOW from either side of the light. A safe-off feature prevents the light from activating accidentally during holstering or handling. A user-enabled strobe function is also available when needed.

The rail grip clamp attaches and detaches without putting your hands in front of the muzzle. That's a deliberate safety feature, not an afterthought. Construction is anodized, machined aluminum, rated IPX4 water-resistant. The light is assembled in the USA and covered by a limited lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which subcompact pistols does the TLR-8 HL-X G Sub fit? 

Confirmed compatible models include the S&W M&P M2.0 Subcompact, Beretta Px4 Storm Subcompact, Springfield Armory XD-E, XD-S, and Hellcat Pro, HK HK45 Compact, and Sig Sauer P365 XMacro. The light fits standard 1913 Picatinny rails, so other subcompact pistols with that rail system may also be compatible. Verify your specific model before ordering.

What's the difference between running the SL-B9 pack versus a CR123A? 

The SL-B9 rechargeable pack delivers 1,000 lumens for 30 minutes at full power or 500 lumens for one hour on the lower setting. A CR123A battery runs 500 lumens for 1.5 hours. The rechargeable pack gives you more output. The CR123A gives you a field-replaceable backup that's available almost anywhere batteries are sold.

Can I use the light and laser at the same time? 

Yes. The TLR-8 HL-X G Sub combines the weapon light and green laser in one unit, and both can run simultaneously. Laser-only mode runs 10 hours regardless of which battery source you're using.

What does IPX4 water resistance mean in practice? 

IPX4 covers splashing water from any direction. It handles rain, sweat, and incidental water exposure without issue. It is not rated for submersion, so don't expect it to survive being dropped in a body of water. For most carry and field use, IPX4 is more than adequate.
