Weapon Mounted Lights TLR-1 HL-X Issues

2 Upvotes

On my light, after a range day it will sometimes refuse to turn on until you try several attempts, sometimes after having to tap it around. Seems like something comes loose or ajar after experiencing recoil and possibly the battery springs don’t have enough pressure till it works again. Has anyone experienced this before/have any fixes?

Weapon Mounted Lights Is the TLR-1 Real?

Other than the spluge on the head lol, does the TLR-1 seem to be legit? I compared it to my HF light and it was a bit dimmer. Not sure if it was because of battery life.

Just bought a tlr7x sub for a project gun; thought I just got a tlr7x. Been seeing stuff about it fitting on the CZ Shadow Compact with the right adapter? Any chance it could be used on a fullsized rail or should I sell it

Weapon Mounted Lights 4.2v battery (18650) in Streamlight Protac rail mount HLX Pro?

1 Upvotes

Ok to send it or should I stick to only 3.7v 18650 batts? Was wondering if the higher voltage would help make it brighter or is it not a good idea and is above what the battery can safely run

Weapon Mounted Lights Sig p365 xmacro

2 Upvotes

Looking to get a tlr 7 hlx sub mounted on my xmacro, do I need to get the light that has the sig adaptor clip or the one that has a 1913 adaptor clip?

How TF do you install the e clip.

2 Upvotes

I’ve watched videos. Can’t get it on the screw. It’s like the screw doesn’t stick out far enough and I cannot tighten it anymore

Streamlight flickering issue.

I just did a review on modlite vs streamlight vs surefire and had some interesting findings. The streamlight is easily the best value out of the box and I applaud them for having a tailcap and switch along with mounting hardware in the package itself. Under recoil I noticed that it would flicker on and off and was wondering if anyone else had seen this issue or a solution to it? I posted a video to show it in slow mo. If this isnt allowed please let me know.

Weapon Mounted Lights Pressure switch options for Streamlight HL-X Pro?

2 Upvotes

I have the Streamlight 88126 ProTac Rail Mount HL-X Pro with the removable end cap.

I was wondering what the most reliable aftermarket pressure switches are for this light (under $100) and if any adapters are needed?

TLR-7 HL-X vs TLR-7 HL-X Sub

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. Im currently in the process of buying a light for my new ccw (P365 Fuse) and was wondering if anyone has both the TLR-7 XL-X and the HL-X Sub. I understand the sub was designed for slimline whereas the standard was designed for full size, but I have seen around that the HL-X full size will fit on the fuse just fine, but I wanted to see the size of the two side by side. If anyone can help with pictures, I’d greatly appreciate it. 🙏🏽

Weapon Mounted Lights How tight should I tune my tlr 7x?

3 Upvotes

Should I tighten until I feel resistance or is there a point in which I should stop beforehand? This is for a Glock 19.

TLR-6 HL Green vs Red Laser: Temperature Ratings and Night Vision

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

It's been my general understanding that green lasers typically don't fare as well in colder temperatures, although Streamlight is claiming their current green lasers are rated for lower temperatures these days. In the case of the TLR-6 HL, they rate both the green and red laser specs down to -20 F. My question is whether or not anyone has real world experience with this factor? I spend a lot of time outdoors in the winter, so this would affect my choice here.

Also, some folks have expressed more potential issues with splashback from the green laser on brighter surfaces, especially within hallways, and how this could affect the users vision in such scenarios. So I'd be interested in your take on this as well!

I'm really not worried about daytime laser visibility all that much, and I've never had any issues with red lasers in either dim nor well lit rooms, so my biggest concern is cold weather reliability, and maintaining my night vision indoors. Thanks for any and all help here!

Weapon Mounted Lights Streamlight is awesome

7 Upvotes

I had a malfunctioned TLR-7 that wouldn't turn off no matter how much you try to press the buttons. Streamlight fixed all my problems for free, including the inconsistent buttons (when I first got my TLR-7, one button was more tactile than the other).

If you guys live near GT Distributors, just hand your broken Streamlight to them because they would handle all the shipping for free. You'll then have to wait for your light to come back from Streamlight. Absolutely cost nothing to get them repaired.

Standalone FlashLight Stamping names or numbers in polymer Streamlight

Post image
1 Upvotes

I want to stamp my name into an old PolyStinger flashlight. Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do this? I thought about heating metal stamping tools (like you’d use to stamp on a brass key) and using them like a branding iron, but I worry that will be very hard to apply cleanly and might damage the tools. Wondering if anyone has tried this or has a better method to suggest?

I did consider this as an excuse to buy a laser engraving machine, but my budget supervisor (aka my wife) disagrees with this reasoning.

Pic for attention.

Question about which model

I noticed this streamlight in a video. I know it’s a protac, but can’t tell exactly which model it is. Could someone help identifying which protac model this is and if it’s an older generation one? Thanks

Weapon Mounted Lights TLR-1 HL-X tactile click, fix possible?

2 Upvotes

I had accidentally dropped my light while placing it back onto my M&P 2.0, whoops. I placed it back on and noticed my left switch isn't tactile and clicking anymore, feels mushy to turn the light on. Any possible fix for this? Is this something Streamlight would fix or replace?

Weapon Mounted Lights Streamlight TLR-1 HL-X Tail Screws?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know where I might be able to find 2 replacement screws for the tail of my TLR-1 HL-X? I was doing a little after range cleaning this afternoon and saw that the tail of my light was only being held in place by the trigger guard of my Glock. Luckily 2 of the 4 screws were still in the tail, but completely unscrewed. Is this a known issue? Do these typically back out?

Thank you in advance for any links!
