NEW STREAMLIGHTS: HOLSTER COMPATIBILITY

Streamlight has recently released a suite of exciting new weapon lights, including the following:

-TLR-6 HL,

-TLR-7 HL-X

-TLR-7 HL-X SUB

-TLR-1 HL-X

Streamlight recently expanded their TLR lineup with new HL-X variants. While these lights share the same general form factor as the standard TLR-1 and TLR-7, there are important differences in output, candela, and power systems. These changes also affect holster fit, which we’ll explain below.

TLR-1 vs. TLR-1 HL-X

  • TLR-1:
    • Output: 300 lumens / 12,000 candela
    • Battery: 2× CR123A lithium batteries
    • Run time: Approx. 2.5 hours

  • TLR-1 HL-X:
    • Output: Up to 1,500 lumens / 20,000 candela (with SL-B9 USB-C rechargeable pack)
    • Output: 1,000 lumens / 15,000 candela (with 2× CR123A)
    • Battery: Multi-fuel (SL-B9 rechargeable or CR123A)
    • Run time: Approx. 1.25–1.5 hours depending on power source

TLR-7 (X) vs. TLR-7 HL-X

  • TLR-7 X:
    • Output: 500 lumens / 5,000 candela
    • Battery: Multi-fuel (SL-B9 rechargeable or CR123A)
    • Run time: Approx. 1.5 hours

  • TLR-7 HL-X:
    • Output: 1,000 lumens / 22,000 candela (with SL-B9)
    • Output: 500 lumens / 11,000 candela (with CR123A)

    • Run time: Approx. 1.5–2 hours depending on power source

Holster Compatibility

Although the HL-X versions look similar to the standard TLR-1 and TLR-7, their external dimensions and profile are different. Because of this, the HL-X models are not compatible with our current holster molds designed for the original TLR-1 and TLR-7.

We are in the process of developing new holster molds specifically for the HL-X models, but this process is time-consuming to ensure proper fit & retention. Until those molds are complete, existing Dara holsters for the TLR-1 and TLR-7 will not accommodate the HL-X lights.

We are working hard to make some new options available, but if you don’t see your specific combo, be sure to fill out our FIREARM REQUEST FORM with your exact setup in mind.
