Who needs a gun when you got a really nice gun light

TLR H1 for my fullsized 320 TLR 7 for my 320c Price to reliability. Can't beat it and i'm not paying over 300 for a flashlight

Plenty of high powered lights over $300 that are worth it. Acebeam X75 is one example. Imalent MS32 or the SR32 are two more. But those are really for rural areas and lighting up the field at night.

Unfortunately, someone gave you some erroneous information. The explanations for candela and throw were wrong and will cause people confusion. What you were calling candela was the hotspot. What you were calling throw was the spill (the floodiness). The hotspot is the strongest concentration of the beam and will be the brightest part that you’ll see. Candela is the intensity of light in one direction whereas lumens simply measures the total visible light (collective from all directions). Throw is how far the light will be impactful at a distance. Like how far you can throw a ball. How far the emitter throws the light. This is why I find the x300 far more useful as a weaponlight versus the turbo. The ultra is more floody, so I can see a much wider area without moving the gun side to side and I hope to never see a need to shoot exceptionally long distances with a handgun, at night, so I don’t need the long distance throw of the turbo. The ultra will help you properly identify a target at 100 yards, I doubt anyone will ever encounter a situation that requires more distance on a handgun at night. You want the best balance between flood and throw. Enough throw to exceed your expected range and enough flood to properly survey the area close to you. Notice how dimly lit the hallway was with the x300 turbo. All you could see was that 16” circle on the far wall and couldn’t see much of the hall walls or most importantly the doorways.

The main point of the Turbo was the disorientation effect you get from being flashed. Higher candela = stronger disorientation effect. Thats why the Turbo sacrifices lumens for more candela because there was a need for more candela and the competitors were starting to fill that need like the Modlite and Holosun PID HC. SureFire went all in and is currently king of candela dethroning both by a huuuuuge margin.

I do a lot of business with Herrington arms and I really appreciate this video especially when the information is coming from you brother! Thanks! Great company with excellent customer service and comps!

Which holster do you have?

My favorite lights are the TLR7 and TLR9, mainly because of the switches. Unfortunately the TLR9 never really got popular, so there isn't much holster support.

Great comparison 👍

Thank you! Hope it helped

I run both TRL1HL and 300uA, I personally like the Surefire better inside the house. As you slop with the A, 1 you have to use the correct plate for QD, Glock or 1911, and they make an adjustable shim that comes with it and works great for the poor pic rail forming done by manufacturers.

My favorite I use the most is the surefire X300 Turbo, also use a TLR1HL sometimes also great, but ya can’t beat that turbo man.

Just picked up a m&p 2.0. Was thinking of getting the tlr-1 but that holosun looks pretty nice.

X300 on compacts/full size and TLR-7A or Sub on the micros.

To fix the wobble problem, put a piece of Velcro on the curve on the light that touches the trigger guard. I have both A & B sure fires. The Velcro works well !!

No problem!

I love the x300 U over the turbo due to room clearing. I didn’t realize how much until I kind of accidentally switched guns when I was practicing searching my house. The turbo had a lot of reflection off of my walls and severely washed out my dot when compared. I like it’s tough switches so I don’t have alight AD. Personally the switches are the ONLY thing I don’t like about the tlr1, and I HATE them. If streamlight found a way to put tlr7a ( my other favorite light) switches on the tlr1 I would switch in a heart beat.

What about the TLR 7a? For those compacts but not sub compacts. Think you should just jump up to the TLR-1HL even though they're kinda massive on some

What mag well is that for the dagger?

Which is the best for the Walther pdp f 3.5 inch

Only problem with the TLR-1 is having to rezero your light after changing your battery.

Thanks for adding this key element to me as that is a good option for people with TLR1 holsters.

I was about to say! Good one sarcasm * love the trl 1

The size of the TLR 1 HL & Holosun PID are super close. Wouldn’t the Holosun fit in most holsters got TLR 1?

The Ultra is perfect for pistol building searching and close in stuff, but NOT long range stuff. The Turbo is perfect for a rifle and long range stuff, but the spill is also ok for building searches and close in stuff.

Surefire XR1 is the great light of all time

You missed the SIG SAUER foxtrot light compared that to streamlight tlr7 Button Position on the sig is way better than any of these

I feel like there is a Holosun option with the same body that takes out the option to switch lumen outputs, and OP has them for just under a hunj.

Update… I’m smoking crack. They have a High Candela model that’s at that 170 price point.

To bad you didn't throw the o light valkerie turbo it's more powerful than surefire turbo and it's lifetime warranty and under a hundred bucks I have never had a failer with my o lights. My streamlights have failed screw stripped and my surefire stepped working and had to use warranty.

Streamlight all day

TLR-1 or Holosun P.ID

You missed the great Sig Foxtrot2R

The Candela Effect. 😂

smear some gun oil on the lens of the light. should help with cleaning the carbon off of it.

Candela is light throw , lumens is brightnes...

Only 1hr of battery life?

"Which pistol light that you can't afford should you buy?"

TRL are known for White light ND’s while in certain Safariland holsters.

Ever since Surefire made the turbo lines I see no point of going with Modlite or Stream light, get the turbos

Goonbeam makes wml clones that blow surefire and streamlight out of the park performance wise imo.

1000 lumens can be blinding against a white wall in the dark...for in-home, 1000 seems like way too much with distances much less than some tactical/outdoor/warehouse type use cases...

Tlr1-HL hands down! Then buy the weapon light cleaner and you are solid!

Just use some chapstick on the lens, wipes off easy and has worked for many environments.

Sloppy technical language kills me. Lumens describe the total light output of the lamp (luminous flux), the candela is a unit for how bright it is at a particular angle (luminous intensity).

Buy one that fits your gun bam your welcome 😎

Your research into candela and lumens isn't correct. Candela is concentration of lumen into a hot spot. Lumens is total light output whether it's a hotspot or flood. So trying to professional explain the light difference is completely off. Lol.

Lumens is brightness. Candela is spill.

I prefer Olight...have had no problems, 1350 lumens, 600 lumens...Ill take an Olight any day of the week.

Lights mounted on a firearm is awesome….. the suspect won’t see you coming first. a light will never give away your position and the best thing about a mounted light is, the suspect can never tell which way the muzzle of your firearm it pointed and won’t give them the advantage over your life. it is the perfect way to avoid getting your sh!t knocked back in the middle of the night…lights on a firearm is awesome …. The brighter and more expensive the better…. Always listen to your gunshop sales person.

Your light should be set passed your muzzle and not sit behind your barrel 🤦🏻‍♂️🤡🤡🤡

Surefire is overpriced trash.
