Streamlight TLR-6 (HL) High-Lumen Rechargeable Lights: First Look

Streamlight Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, introduced the TLR-6 HL and the TLR-6 HL G, high-lumen (HL) rechargeable gun-mounted tactical lights with an integrated red or green aiming laser. Among the first in Streamlight’s extensive line of weapon-mounted lights to use a rechargeable battery, the new lights deliver 300 lumens and are designed to securely attach to the rail and trigger guard of the GLOCK 42/43, GLOCK rail mount models, the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield and SIG Sauer P365 handguns.

The lights are powered by Streamlight’s new proprietary SL-B2 rechargeable battery that can be conveniently recharged in the included charge case by means of a USB-C cord. Each light ships with a battery in the light along with two additional batteries in the charge case, providing users a full hour of power.

“These newest additions to our best-selling line of TLR-6 weapon lights use high-lumen technology to provide full situational awareness in a variety of law enforcement, concealed carry, and home defense applications, such as illuminating a dark alley, vehicle or outdoor path,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “Each comes equipped with an integrated color aiming laser to enable users to readily identify a potential threat before taking any action. The SL-B2 rechargeable battery provides on-the-go convenient charging coupled with the cost savings of rechargeability.”

The TLR-6 HL and TLR-6 HL G each feature a white LED to deliver 4,250 candela and 300 lumens over a beam distance of 130 meters. The lights use a parabolic reflector to produce a balance of focused beam and peripheral illumination. Featuring left and right-handed switches for ambidextrous operation, they offer two lighting modes: a quick press of either switch activates constant on operation, while pressing and holding the switch turns on the momentary setting.

The TLR-6 HL offers a 640-660 nm red laser to maximize visibility and long-range targeting capability, while the TLR-6 HL G features a 510-530 nm “eye safe” green laser to improve users’ ability to focus on targets during daylight hours. Both lights can be deployed in Laser Only mode to keep the gun on target, LED Only mode to provide bright, focused light, or dual mode which uses both light sources. They offer run times of 20 minutes for LED Only and LED/Laser modes. In Laser Only mode, the red laser provides 9 hours of run time, while the green laser delivers 5 hours.

The charge case charges up to two Streamlight SL-B2 rechargeable batteries at a time, with red and green indicator LEDs providing battery charge status. The lights’ integrated battery door permits tool-less battery replacement with the light mounted on the weapon, eliminating the need to re-sight the laser after a battery change.

Each light is manufactured from durable, impact-resistant engineered polymer and uses a glass lens with a shock-resistant gasket seal. The lights are impact-resistant, tested to one meter.

The TLR-6 HL and the TLR-6 HL G are both 2.50 inches long and weigh 1.12 ounces with the included battery. They are available in black, while both models that fit the GLOCK 42/43 are also available in Flat Dark Earth.

The TLR-6 HL and TLR-6 HL G have MSRPs of $230.00 and $280.00, respectively. Each comes with Streamlight's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
