The NEW Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Over the last few months, Streamlight has been quietly stepping up the output on a number of their weaponlights. The latest model to get this treatment is the TLR-7; the new TLR-7 HL-X is a dual-fuel version of Streamlight's weaponlight for compact handguns, and has more lumens and candela than the previous version. @Hoplopfheil stopped by the Streamlight booth at NRAAM 2024 to check out their new crop of lights.

Kudos to Stream light for continually pushing the envelope with their weapon lights.
And not charging an arm and a leg just because you know the name of their company
Half (at least) of the envelope pushing credit should go to the companies making these new high output small emitters. This looks like it might be the Nitelab UHi20 or one of its siblings
@@anonymous-ip9fs China? They make 99% of the light Diodes on the market.
@@boygonewhoopdataZZ yeah, and not just the diodes, streamlight sources/assembles most stuff in china
How? The Holosun PID HC beats every pistol light by miles in terms of cost/performance. The only thing they have worth buying is the HL-X/HL-X Pro, but they refuse to change their tailcaps to take standard Crane plugs without rattling around in the jack.
Look at how giddy Hop gets around the Streamlight people
Bro trying to diddy himself a channel sponsor
I would too, I simp for Streamlight's products
I was under the impression Hops wasn't really impressed with Streamlight in his older videos.
@@resolute123he's a massive fan of their pistols lights, their rifle lights not so much though he still doesn't think they're bad
It's pretty funny how easy it is to tell that Hop actually gives half a fuck about specific booths lmfao
I love it when my recent purchases are rendered obsolete a week later. Good times
i literally just bought a tlr-7x and saw this fuckin video RIGHT after i got it.
So theres a new offering now your older one is “obsolete”? How does that work?
7X will still benefit from the rechargeable batteries and I've seen people saying Streamlight will sell the new heads separate as well. @@joshuahenderson5847
@@matthewshelton9573well for one, if he wanted to resell it to get the new one, his resale value just went way way down. Even on his newly purchased light
Holster compatibility is gonna be tough...
Hopefully it’s a small enough change that we can just use a heat gun to reshape existing TLR7 holsters
If you have an open ended bottom you’re probably okay.
Trex already makes IWB holsters for it.
@@CTorres_1993 that's what I'm hoping for too
Some kydex, a vacuum sealer, and a hair dryer will do you just fine
I hear a weaker stream is something you can expect after a few years….
Rechargeable batteries only last a certain amount of charges
@@rklkifyI think this was a prostate joke
Saw Palmetto supplements 😂
Stream light
@@Morrison9155 lol
Gotta give it up for Streamlight, they make good stuff.
Cool that it’s exact size of g17, might be my new go to for ccw.
Fuck Yeah Streamlight! Giving the people what WE want. I love to see it 🔥
Hop looks like a less kept serial killer
Glad to see they are getting the picture about people wanting more candela and not just more lumens.
Just picked this light up 🎉
So can I just buy the rechargable for my old tlr1?
Fenix has had USB rechargeable cr123s for years now
Might damage the internal circuitry as rechargeable batteries might have slight voltage variations outside of the lights specifications. I saw a comment were someone reached out to a streamlight rep and asked about using their rechargeable batteries on a TLR-7A and the rep confirmed it would damage the unit, however they didn’t specify if that was with a rechargeable CR123 or their proprietary SL-B9 rechargeable battery
@@bubbalawrence1 I use fenix's USB rechargeable 3.6V 16340s in my tlr-1hl with no issues (yet)
@@bubbalawrence1I know of a few guys running 3.7V 16340 protected cells in place of a CR123 with great results. Boosted output with no apparent issues on the electronics.
Love my TLR-7 HL
Will this work with my holsters that are designed for the TLR-7 sub?
Y’all make these rechargeable batteries for the trl-7a ??? Link please
will we be able to just buy the new reflector to put on the tlr7's or only works with this new 7?
I use the TLR-8 and highly recommend it. Hard to beat Streamlight.
Do they make they rechargeable batteries for the trl-7a
Do I need a new holster?
Depends if the bottom is open or not. Some holsters crimp the lower edge in on both sides, some don't.
Not if you have a heat gun 😊
Wondering if it’ll affect holster compatibility - it doesn’t look *that* much longer than the old tlr7, but given lots of kydex holsters index on the light… Also the snob in me likes that the old tlr7 sat flush with the end of the muzzle in most g19 sized guns
When will malkoff make a head for the TLRs
Asking the real questions here
Probably not anytime soon. Their specialty is the drop in conversions for handhelds, the WML heads were I believe at the request of Arisaka.
The output is the same as before. How much is the battery by itself?
Hop, you forgot to ask if it's just the head replacement/bezel or if there is different circuitry in those new lights to help produce the higher candela/lumen.
Yes, it's new circuitry as well. Putting the HLX head on a non-HLX unit will not yield the "high mode" output. Confirmed by SL when interviewed by Werkz Holsters.
@@TommyTombstone Thanks Tommy. I knew before asking, but wanted to let Hop know he needs to be a bit more thorough, when asking questions of the reps. Just in case people don't or didn't know to see it on the Werkz channel/video. Excellent response though, thanks!
Of course less than a month after I bought a tlr7 and a safariland to match. At least I hope it has holster comparability. Because I’m not buying another ~$300 holster to change the light.
Waiting for a high candela tlr 1
The new HLs put out 22k candela but idk what you consider high candela
@@bubbalawrence1The X300T is putting out 69k. So something more like that, but with the TLR1 switches and price point.
20k candela is getting to be the minimum standard for a defensive handheld, and soon to be the new minimum for WMLs as well.
I have a relatively small handheld that's pushing 80k.
@@TommyTombstonethank you
Holster compatibility?
They probably aren’t, but it would be cool if they release the heads as a stand alone purchase so we could upgrade our regular tlr7s without having to buy the entire light.
I believe they updated the electronics in the new light and the old body won’t support the new head. Job security I guess…🤷🏼♂️🙄
Hop the goat!
If i got a tlr 1 can i buy stuff aftermarket to make it an HL? Or x ?
You can use rechargeable batteries with up to 3.7v for higher output. Will lower your led life. But don't know by how much
@@tizbenprobably not enough to matter. The battery you're thinking of is a 16340.
What voltage is the streamlight sl-b9 battery?
Soon we’re gonna mount lights on blue guns and use them to melt enemies
Streamlight is doing way more to push the industry forward then what we don't see coming out of surefire.
NICE
very cool
This is for Glock 17 and 19 and similar, not the micro compact 43x and 48 and similar, according to their website.
The 7sub x-hl will be out soon enough
Good news 👍
Would like a tlr6 hl for hellcat.
They make a TLR7 for the Hellcat specifically
@@peripheralterror I considered it but it's more expensive and too long imo. I want the smallest wml possible.
@@Velkin999 Ahhh gotcha. I wish you the best of luck finding that light, brother, I know your pain haha.
I have a tlr6 hl for Glock 43x. They increased lumens which cut battery time by 2/3rds. You have 20 minutes run time on one battery. Their answer to this was to recommend carrying multiple batteries just fyi. 3 for 1hr run time.
@@ncd7184 I'm OK with short battery. They just don't make them for a hellcat 😔.
There's only a handful of holster makers and they make the majority of those holsters for Glocks with the rail lights and some M&Ps. If you carry anything else with a light forget it. You'll need a custom holster for almost what you paid for your pistol and that's too much.
My stream light sits in the night stand. It was a $100 not well spent.
My brother in Christ, allow me to help you out. The PhlSter Floodlight 2 indexes on the light itself, not the gun. It's compatible with the TLR1 or the X300. The Tier 1 Concealed MSP does the same thing.
Otherwise, there are hyper custom Kydex shops all over the country, just pick one. FalTech comes to mind.
I want that dummy rubber ar
We used to call them 'Rubber Duckies'. The blue versions are size-correct, but not weight correct (so they're far cheaper). The red versions are weight-correct and significantly more expensive.
Bout time. I don't understand why companies put out lights that don't use rechargable batteries.
Wish they would get rid of that chrome ring around the light head.
Rattle can go pssssshhhhhh
Wilson David Garcia Steven Perez Paul
Wish they would design their lights with a small hump on the sides so IWB holster have good retention lockup areas. Maybe a concealed carry version just for iwb kydex holsters ?
All my TLR7 holsters click nicely. Is there really a need?
@@Eisernkreuzyeah, same here. Sounds more like an issue with whatever holster maker he’s going with rather than a design problem with the light itself.
@@Andrew_182 yeah most likely the holster maker. But it wouldn't hurt to have that added tension.
As much as I like my Streamlights, my biggest criticism is they're like Glock... reliable but stagnant. I'm glad they're listening to user feedback and overhauling they're entire weapon light lineup.
I remember when we had to get rid of the old incandescent bulbs and go to LED because of the heat, now we're right back where we started....😂
what are you implying? This light is incandescent or that leds are getting hot?
Except 10 times as bright
When is Streamlight ever gonna lose the “Ring Of Bling”? I mean they already have their logo plastered on the side of it. Just seems like unnecessary cheese.

All good but without a laser, PASS😂
Lasers on handguns? Weird hill to die on.
I will be honest. "I am a poor" the only way for to have a Streamlight, is if someone gifts me one, and I will never have to worry about that.

SL needs new branding. It always reminds me of a guitar pic. Not tactical lighting equipment.
Same here 😂
Remember... it's STILL not a duty light, that's the TLR-1 HL, use this one for conceal carry.
What exactly is much different about carrying a TLR7 in your kydex holster everyday as a normal EDC, and carrying a TLR-1 on a belt every day as a cop? Most cops train and use their guns far less than a typical gun enthusiast.
Edit: I somewhat understand if your argument is light output. Sure, the TLR 1 is going to have more distance.
The new 7x hpl is 1,000 lumens and 22k candela. The tlr1 hl is 1,000 L and 20k candela. You have old information that dose not apply
@@dylanholbrook6239 It's not about light output, it's about durability. One will break if dropped on concrete at shoulder length, the other won't.
@@mordant221 Show us some tests of that then. I’m not aware of any of Streamlights aluminum bodies WML’s being any less durable than the next. Even if it did give up 2% in durability as a consequence of being smaller and lighter with the same output I’m fine with that, and again, most non-cops are harder on their lights and pistols than cops are. I love when people say, “it’s not DUTY rated!!!”, like some cop doing their quals once a year is heavy duty use.
@@jimyeats Sure: ruclips.net/video/wjm3MVXVekw/видео.htmlsi=HM3jinRbCmbIPEEe
Nice to see another light I won't buy.
Just because I'm curious, why not Tim?
Bright like 5 watt bulb.
It's cute how excited Hop acts around the Streamlight people

30 min runtime at the high setting, 1 hr at the lower setting FYI.
I guess the reason is because the user would momentarily use it for the identification.
That's 1,000 lumens @ 22,000 candela for 30min on high (default), or 500 lumens @ 11,000 candela for 1 hour on low w/ the SL-B9 rechargeable battery. If you run a CR123A, you're only getting the low setting for 1.5 hours of runtime. Also, if you have an rm2 and a tlr7a or tlr7 sub, you can put the rm2's HPL head on the 7a/7 sub for that bump in candela if you don't feel like buying the x since I've seen some places selling them for between 170 and 200 bones. No idea if the SL-B9 battery is compatible with the 7a/7 sub.
@@charlie-tangomotors2516Werkz Holsters interviewed Streamlight as well and when asked the rep said you would not get the full output swapping just the head onto a 7X body. I do not believe you can use the new battery in the 7A.
@@charlie-tangomotors2516 do you know the voltage on that Sl-b9 battery? Haven't seen them mention it on the website and I cannot see a picture of the whole battery to see the voltage value at Max charge
@@tizben3.6V, 850mAh, 3.06Wh. I tried uploading a picture of mine from my TLR-7X but I’m not sure that’s doable in a RUclips comment…
If they did this large of an increase in output with the TLR7, I'm curious to know what the TLR1 body can put out with a re-design
They've already jumped from 300 to 800 and now 1000 (maybe another stop between 300 & 800).
Remember they also make the big head TLR-1HPL if you want to reach out an extra 200 meters (probably limited to a long gun, unless you're a kydex master LOL).
Finallllyyyyy a high lumen compact light from a reputable brand
I would like a hop rundown of the Streamlight weapon lights. They have quite a few products, and it’s not clear from their website what the pros and cons of each light is.
Need
Can't wait to see it in the fence and island
Most interesting video so far. Really love what Streamlight is doing.
Just say it Hop "this my shiiiit!!" 😁
Wish hop would of asked about holster compatibility. Anyone know if this works with existing tlr 7 holsters?
Probably not because the TLR7 HL is a little longer than the normal TLR7
Bang up job getting useful details on the TLR-7 HL….
He didn't answer the question. In other words, you'll have to make sure on your own that you get one of the newer versions.
What do you mean? They physically look different.
@Eisernkreuz he's talking about the older ones with upgrades. Take the Protac HL-X for example. Upgraded from 27k candela to 50k candela but still looks the same.
there’s a snake in my boots…. reach for the sky partner… 😂 hop definitely looks like woody from toy story he needs to wear a cowboy hat
And here I just bought a Foxtrot2r since it was brighter than my TLR-7A and locked myself out of 80% of the holster market.
Seems like werkz is your only option
@@tizben Most holster makers that do accommodate that light only do so if the gun is a P320 or P365 (Werkz being one of them). If I want one for a P-10 C, for example, Odin, Blackpoint, Falco, and Redhill are the only ones I've found. Odin seems like the only one that has decent options (like tuckable clips), but I've heard mixed reviews on the quality.
Will this work on a g48?
I remember taping a mini mag to the weapon. The industry has come a long ways
What is going on with Hop's eyebrows?
The same as every single Shot Show and other event where he’s inside. His outer eyebrows are very pale/blonde.
Hop likes lights

Good luck finding those rechargeable batteries.
Streamlight > Surefire.
Made in PA baby!!!
What? All my Streamlights were made in China. TLR1, 1HL, 3, 7, 7A, and 9. I still prefer the 1HL output to my X300s, but let's not get carried away.
I prefer streamlight too…but they’re made in China.
They're made in China my guy. That's why they're half the price of SureFire and ModLite.

If you’re going to give a rechargeable option then just allow for charging externally. While I’m not an Olight fan, their charge system is really handy. Unscrewing the front to then take the battery out, to then plug the battery into a little usb charger just seems gimmicky.
Plugging my gun in seems gimmicky too.
@@TommyTombstone Between the choice of two gimmicks, tell us you'd choose the less convenient one.
@@Omniverse0 I'll choose whichever one gives me better output, reliability, and runtime. I have to pull the batteries from my handhelds and rifle lights to juice them up, too. Don't become a slave to convenience.
The new pl mini 3 comes with two batteries and latches in from the bottom I think. Will see how it works when it comes in on Tuesday or Wednesday.
