TLR-7 Sub 500-Lumen Tactical Flashlight with High Power, Adjustable Light Modes

Best sub light out

one of the best lights out there for your gun. fits great on my sig p365. brightness is great , shines white light. not hard to use but I still can't get it to strobe.

Good Light, could not get the strobe to work. Upgraded to the 8 and everything worked perfectly.

I've tried out a few different models of manufacturer's lights and, so far, the TLR-7 Sub (along with the TLR-7A), surpass the others in all but one area. For a single CR 123 battery, the brightness is excellent. It's only half the lumens of larger models and the competition (such as a Surefire X300U-A), but also uses half the batteries, so it's actually on-par. The ambidextrous buttons are easy to push, and very accessible for my weak-hand thumb in both an active and passive grip. The controls are also great: hold-press for however long you want the light on, or tap to stay on, plus optional double-tap of a button to activate the strobe. And the shorter length of it (compared to competitor's models) makes it much more ideal for carry options, as it doesn't protrude and stick into your body like others: much more compact. Even the added feature to deactivate the light with a quarter-turn of the front bezel is nice to have at times. And the price tag seems to be at least on-par, if not better, than a lot of competition, especially for the quality. Above all, the ability to change out the battery from the front, rather than the rear on competitor's models, makes it much easier, since you don't have to remove the light every single time. The one detraction I see with it is that, when you mount it, you can't just clip it onto the picatinny rail, but have to slide it on and then screw it down, making it a bit more laborious than others, and requiring tools. Moreover, the screw on here has an arc to its depth, so it doesn't work well with a screw driver, and you need to have a thicker coin on you, like a nickel or quarter. And, the problem with those -- besides the fact that you may not have cash on you to do that, and shouldn't have to -- is that the coins don't even fit perfectly, so the insert on the screw starts getting marred and worn away. As such, if you swap this out between pistols very often, that screw will most likely eventually become unusable. IMHO, this would've been much better as a mount for a picatinny rail that comes on most modern pistols or, at the very least, a mounting screw that has a flat indentation, rather than an arced one, so that it works with screw drivers. Overall, though, as I mentioned, it's better than most of the competition, IMHO, and is an excellent choice.

The TLR-7 Sub delivers exceptional performance in a compact package specifically engineered for the P365 platform. The 500-lumen output provides excellent target identification while maintaining a profile that doesn't extend beyond the muzzle. The beam pattern offers good spread for close-range situations while maintaining enough throw for longer distances. The mounting system is precisely machined for the P365/XL rail, providing rock-solid attachment with zero wiggle or loosening under recoil. The controls are ambidextrous and easy to manipulate with either hand, though they're positioned to prevent accidental activation. Battery life is impressive, and the low-battery warning gives plenty of advance notice. Construction quality is outstanding - the aluminum housing and impact-resistant lens have proven durable through extensive use. The IPX7 waterproof rating isn't just marketing; this light handles inclement conditions without issue. The switch design provides both momentary and constant-on options with positive tactile feedback. One minor consideration is that the battery compartment requires removal for changes, though this is a reasonable trade-off for maintaining waterproof integrity. The price reflects the quality of materials and engineering, but it's justified by the reliability and performance. For P365/XL owners seeking a dedicated weapon light, this purpose-built solution is hard to beat.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
