Been looking forward to these for a while. Trying to NOT spend Cloud Defensive or Modlite money. |

Just got back from the range. Here are a couple of pics comparing the Olight PL Turbo (800 L, 66k C) w/the HL-X Pro (1,000 L, 50k C). Similar (but not identical) performance, the Olight's greenish tint is apparent when comparing them side-by-side.
Sorry for the poor quality of the FruitPhone pics, spousal unit took the pics while I aimed. You can easily make out the 50yd target slightly to the right and the 100yd target centered in the beam. It was more easily visible in-person, but the 200yd target stand was slightly easier to see w/the Olight than the HL-X Pro but either could engage a sufficiently contrasted target at that range. More apparent was the greater spill & situational awareness from the HL-X Pro. Both are fairly well balanced between throw & spill, but I prefer the slightly greater spill & less throw of the HL-X Pro. ETA: Did 60rds at both 50 & 100yds, the HL-X Pro does a good job of burning through gunpowder-induced glare. Olight:  Attached FileStreamlight:  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lapp_Dance: Originally Posted By Tomac: Replaced the Streamlight factory mount w/an Arisaka offset Scout mount and it is a big improvement.

The lower edge of the picatinny rail and the upper edge of the bottom rail panel form a channel that perfectly fits the Streamlight remote switch. You can either slide the switch into the channel from the front or place the switch first then slide on the bottom rail panel. The Arisaka light mount prevents fore/aft movement of the switch (or would if there were any room for the switch to move fore/aft, it's a perfect fit) but in an earlier experiment with the standard Streamlight remote switch (ie: shorter w/no constant-on) I discovered a small piece of Velcro (one side only) applied in the channel provided a friction-fit that prevented movement of the switch. |

Finally had time to tinker and get mine set up with Shaffer switch mounts and am super happy with the way it turned out. Light output on these are awesome too. Only thing better would be TLR 1 HLs next in line to have 50k candela.

As I mentioned earlier in this post, I had the same issue. Ended up the switch was the problem, not the tailcap. I called Streamlight customer service, left a message, and got a call back in probably 30 minutes or less.
Told the guy I was tempted to tap it with a hammer to see if it seated, but was afraid I would break it. His words were knock the fuck out of it, if it doesn't work, I'll send you another. He gave me his direct phone number and email before hanging up. BFH method didn't work. I emailed him. I got tracking information a couple hours later. Was at my door two days later. They went over and above. Never had to use their customer service before. They were definitely on it. The replacement switches do have a much more solid lockup than my original. They don't have as solid lockup and any Unity/Surefire switches I've used. Also keep in mind these entire light kits with light, switches, mounts, batteries, etc. cost less than most Unity switches. |

Thanks for the info. Totally agree about the price, even if I have to drop another $40 -/+ on a replacement switch, it’s still a good price on a good light. Not sure if I’ll hear back from support or not, I’ll probably order the replacement this weekend during New Years sales. |

Hell, I'm pretty sure they upgraded the guts in my old old TLR-1, because now I can barely tell the difference between it and my TLR-1HL. ETA: Post 7000

I let him know that I bought it used (here on the EE actually) and I didn't have a proof of purchase or anything. He replied, I don't care if you found it in a ditch, send it in. Lol |

I would attach both switch rail sections where desired, slide the switch into 3 of the 4 switch rail section corners then use the small flat head screwdriver again to help seat the 4th corner. |

Emailed again this week, not expecting a reply to it either. Still a good deal even needing to drop the extra money on a replacement switch.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Deadsquiggles: Has anyone seen any videos or pictures comparing the beam to other high candela lights? I can only seem to find unboxing videos from someone sitting at a table. I’d love to see how it performs outdoors. @Deadsquiggles Here are two shots taken at my local range comparing the HL-X Pro (1k L, 50k C) and the Olight PL Turbo (800 L, 66k C). Performance is very similar (photos don't do a good job of highlighting the differences), but the HL-X Pro provides greater spill & situational awareness at a minor cost of throw. 50yd target is slightly to the right of the hotspot, hotspot is centered on the 100yd target, 200yd target is barely visible in the distance. HTH... ETA: Spousal unit took the photos w/a FruitFone, sorry for the crappy quality. Streamlight:  Attached FileOlight:  Attached File |

ETA2: If you plan on not using the remote switch, the rear of the tailcap holding the remote port & clicky switch can be rotated to place them at the desired location.  Attached File |

Anyone know if there is (or will be) a standard clicky tailcap switch without a remote plug in that fits this light?
Also, is there any word on if a NON-weapon mount version will be offered? Obviously I'm being lazy and have not done any research on either of the above. Thanks guys |

I haven't seen a handheld version yet.
Pretty sure the standard clicky tailcap from the original HLX will work. |
