Streamlight - TLR-4 Tactical Light with Red Laser 170 Lumens

The TLR-4 features a rail clamp designed for quick attachment and detachment. It fits most compact, sub-compact, and full-sized handguns with rails. The included key kit allows for mounting on a variety of weapons, although H&K USP models require a separate kit. This versatility ensures that users can easily transition the light between different firearms as needed.

The TLR-4 operates on a single 3V CR2 lithium battery, which is included with the product. This battery type is chosen for its compact size and reliable power output, supporting the light's various modes effectively. Users should ensure they have spare batteries on hand, especially for extended operations or in emergency preparedness scenarios.

The TLR-4 is rated IPX4 for water resistance, which means it can withstand splashes from any direction. While it is not fully waterproof, it can handle rain and other wet conditions typically encountered in tactical or outdoor settings. However, users should avoid submerging the unit in water to maintain its functionality and longevity.

The TLR-4 offers different runtimes depending on the mode selected. When using the LED only or the combination of LED and laser, the light can run for approximately 1.5 hours to the 10% output level. In laser-only mode, it can last up to 15 hours. These runtimes allow for flexibility in usage, but it's important to monitor battery levels during extended operations.

The TLR-4 enhances shooting accuracy by providing a red laser for precise targeting. This laser allows shooters to quickly acquire targets without aligning traditional sights, which is particularly beneficial in high-stress situations. Additionally, the white LED light illuminates the target area, reducing the chances of misidentification and improving overall accuracy.

The TLR-4 is constructed from impact-resistant polymer with a durable anodized aluminum facecap. This combination ensures that the light is lightweight yet robust enough to withstand the rigors of tactical use. The BOROFLOAT® high-temperature glass lens adds to its durability, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.

The ambidextrous switch on the TLR-4 allows for easy operation by both left- and right-handed users. This design ensures that the light can be activated quickly and efficiently without needing to adjust grip or hand position. In tactical situations, where every second counts, this feature enhances usability and readiness.

The TLR-4 can be a valuable addition to a bug out bag or emergency kit due to its compact size and multifunctionality. Its ability to provide both illumination and a targeting laser makes it versatile for various emergency scenarios. However, users should consider the availability of spare batteries and the need for compatible rail systems on firearms included in their preparedness plans.
