Check out the new SL weapon lights

Found this today, looks super cool.

They updated the SL 20 too, gonna have to give it a shot once its available.

On Facebook, Streamlight is saying these will hit the shelves next month

Clearly, the HL models are designed for use on rifles (more throw) as they are not going to fit into any sort of holster. The problem is, the TLR-1 switch is terrible on rifles. snags on gear. accidental activation is way too easy. You're much better off with a tubular light with a momentary-only tailcap in a ring mount.

I know what you mean victory. I havent seen the tape switch yet, not a fan of them anyway, but maybe that would be a better way to operate it on a long gun. I too prefer a tail cap but man they look cool.

Check out that BIG reflector on the TLR-1 HP, it looks like a MINI MaxaBeam for your AR/AK!!!

Looks great. Way to update the lineup, good job Streamlight. If I didn't already have a DBS mounted on my AR I would love this new thrower.

Super Tac X looks badass! 40k lux!

Sick:devil:

Tape switches have the same problems: too easy to inadvertently activate, gets hung up on gear.

Unless they've updated a few things, the throwers are like pencil beams. No spill.

I guess I'm just not much of a Streamlight fan. Their still using P4's and blue tints.

That is not true in part. Yes, they use cool white tints(which suck) like everyone else. However, I just bought a Waypoint a month or two ago and it has a Cree XR-E in it with 210 lumens ANSI. That means it is probably a R2 bin. Also, they have at least one light in there lineup with a XM-L or SST-50 as it is 600 lumens ANSI off of 2xCR123.

At first I thought it was ridiculously oversized, but if it throws for 3-400 meters, it might be great for someone who needs a far reaching light on their carbine.

You need good throw for nighttime coyote hunting. The spill would be very bright on this, just like all the LED throwers on CPF.

Has anyone picked up one of these? Any reviews/beamshots/impressions?
