The TLR-7A is currently our go-to compact pistol light. The original TLR-7 suffered from an inferior switch design which made it difficult for most shooters to activate the light. Streamlight corrected that issue with the new HIGH and LOW switch options, which come standard with the TLR-7A, making it one of the easiest pistol lights to activate while shooting one-handed and without breaking a two-handed grip. Plus, it’s tough and clocks in at 500 lumens with moderate candela and a 1.5-hour battery run time.
We believe the ability to activate a white light on a pistol or rifle is the most important upgrade one can have, and it’s critical to be able to activate the light without significantly altering your grip while shooting. The high switch option on the TLR-7A allows for that.

One Streamlight TLR-7A FLEX Pistol Light (black); high switch (mounted on light); low switch (in package); one CR123A Lithium battery; one key kit which includes rail-locating keys for Universal or 1913 Picatinny-style rails; mounting tools

FAQ
At mid range (40 yards approximately) you can still see a target, but it will be difficult to identify features.
Lumens are the total amount of light emitted.
Candela is how far and tightly focused the light is thrown onto a target.
Lumens is important, but Candela is king when it comes to identifying targets. Lumens can light up a room (flood light), but candela can light up the details on a particular object (throw light).
