TLR-2 = NICE LIGHT!!!

[DaFABRICATA]

Yesterday I recieved my TLR-2 in the mail! I am extremely impressed with the light output, tint, laser, and build quality! It looks as though this will be about the easiest light to upgrade with a seoul. I am going to leave it the way it is for a few weeks and see if I still want to swap LED's. For a claimed 80 lumens its very bright and the hotspot from the smooth reflector is nice with decent spill. I love the throw on this light....Super Impressive! I mounts very easily and fast to the rail on my Springfield XD45 and the switch ergonomics are perfect. I also like that you can choose between settings.....Laser Only/ Light Only/ Laser+Light...as well as momentary ON and Constant ON. It does get warm running it continuously for anything more that 5 minutes.
Does anyone know where to get the optional tailcaps for this light? I have seen a few different kinds with remote pressure switches. Whos got em a good prices?
I was looking at the Surefire X200A, but after reading some reviews and the fact you get a laser on the TLR-2 for a couple bucks more.....I couldn't pass it up.

All in all, I really like this new light and have no complaints so far.....

How do you like your TLR-2/ TLR-1?

The TLR1/2 are a tremendous value over the Surefires X200. The build quality is comparable which surprised me at first. The only benefit of the Surefire over the TLR-1 is that it is slightly more streamlined, but whether it is worth the $100 premium over the TLR is up to the user. Mine is mounted on an AR15 so I'll take the savings and put it into more ammo

As far as swapping the LED, I've seen really bright TLR-1/2 and some dimmer ones. Trust me, even the ones with the brightest LED would greatly benefit a Seoul upgrade. The worst improvement I have seen is an 85% increase, the best was 125%.

I agree with CM,
The seoul TLR2 is very impressive.
With my seoul gladius it's my best light.

You can have the remote switch here

I have two TLR-1s and I am very happy with both.

Same here, I own a pair of TLR-1's and couldn't be happier with them. As light weight as they are I find using them as a backup/auxillary to a larger primary incandescent works very well for me.

Damn!!!....Now maybe I'll just have to mod this thing if it's really that much of a difference!

I can't stop playing with it!....the size and weight are perfect.

Now I gotta order more emitters!

Some pictures to compare

Exposure time 0.3 S
Iso 100
+- 8 meter to the wall.


Test picture :



TLR2 with luxeon III



TLR2 With SSCp4


Exactly the same beam, but more powerfull......
With luxeon3 i can see the target correctly but that's all. With the SSCp4, i can see all the room so i can engage targets very quickly (sorry again for my poor english)

Yep I love my TLR-2!

i just picked up a TLR1 for my USP Expert. the TLR2 is nice, but an added 150 just for a laser? no thanks!

i gotta say i am in love with these lights. infact i'd really like to pick up an EDC light with relatively the same output/spillbeam as the TLR1


do any of you guys have problems with the switch going off from recoil? (particularly 40S&W) i haven't even taken mine out yet, but i was wondering about that.

you can get the switch/door from this site. it is highly reputable and has good shipping times for west coast

I have a Gladius and the TLR-1.

I really want to upgrade both to the Cree. Is there anyone in the US who can do it ?

Brighter is always better

Hello,
For gladius an TLR1 or 2 the best is Seoul and not CREE....
Because you don't have to change anything else and the light beam ( throw and corona ) is well balanced, like the old one, but with much much power...:twothumbs

GLADIUSX1

can do it for you in the states i think
