I evaluated the brightness output of both Streamlight versions, the TLR 1 HL and the TLR 7A. While the Streamlight TLR 7A has a 500-lumen output and a 5000-candela intensity, it is the opposite in terms of light output. Imagine how much brighter the Streamlight TLR 1 HL’s light output will be with its 1000 lumens and 15000 candela light intensity. The lumen and candela are what drive a shooter’s purchase. Some individuals do not seem to be bothered by or feel no strain from a weapon’s set of weights. In this manner, the decision to purchase a lighter weapon light is up to the shooter. Furthermore, most shooters equip their guns with a red dot sight. When a weapon light is attached to a gun, it adds weight to the shooter’s hand. There is a rationale why a shooter desires a weapon light to be particularly lightweight. However, they are still apparent when holding the weapon lights. These weights are measured after adding the included batteries. The Streamlight TLR 1 HL weighs 4.18 ounces, whereas the TLR 7A weighs 2.39 ounces. The TLR 7A is, therefore, in my opinion, a better option than the TLR 1 HL. I like a weapon light that is more compact than one that is lengthy. You can tell that the Streamlight TLR 1 HL is longer than the Streamlight TLR 7A based on length alone. The Streamlight TLR 7A, on the other hand, is 2.58 inches long, 1.18 inches wide, and 1.27 inches tall. The Streamlight TLR 1 HL measures 3.39 inches in length, 1.47 inches in width, and 1.44 inches in height. It’s okay if they get scratched after all, they’re just materials. Both Streamlight models receive scratches, but the TLR 1 HL receives a little less damage on the sides, while the TLR 7A receives damage to the bottom. Surprisingly, the TLR 1 HL survives longer than the TLR 7A. I dropped both weapon lights on a firm surface ground to see if they could withstand the impact. My testing confirmed what I already said-that the Streamlight TLR 1 HL has a more robust shape. It has curved edges that, when combined with the flat bottom, form a rounded box shape. Its overall appearance is that of a square shape box, which is very useful because square shapes are more rugged than round ones.Īlthough the Streamlight TLR 7A initially seems to be flat from the bottom up, it is not square like the Streamlight TLR 1 HL. The Streamlight TLR 1 HL seems to have an entirely flat bottom surface.
