The Streamlight TLR-7 A , a rail-mounted light (primarily for handguns) comes with a high switch on the light and includes a low switch that makes it more comfortable on different size handguns or for users with longer/shorter finger reach to activate. The lightweight and compact new light delivers 500 lumens for a variety of tactical uses.
“Our newest light features ambidextrous on/off rear switches with low and high positions to suit user preference, and a rail clamp that attaches and detaches easily from the side of compact and full frame handguns,” Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah said. “Like the original TLR-7, it is designed to maximize visibility and targeting capability in a variety of home defense and tactical applications.”
The TLR-7 A features a power LED that delivers 5,000 candela and 500 lumens over a beam distance of 140 meters. It offers two lighting modes, LED only or LED strobe, each with a run time of 1.5 hours. The light is energized by a single 3 Volt CR123 lithium battery.
Securely fitting to a broad range of weapons, the new TLR-7 A features a one-handed, snap on and tighten interface that keeps hands away from gun muzzles when attaching or detaching them. The light also includes a Safe Off feature, locking it so it cannot be turned on accidentally. A key kit is included to securely fit the light to the broadest array of hand guns of any light on the market.
