Full Product Overview

Maximize your low-light defensive capabilities without bulking up your carry footprint. The Streamlight TLR-8A Flex (69414) packs an incredible punch into a lightweight, sub-3-inch chassis specifically engineered for compact and full-sized railed handguns. Utilizing a shock-proof white LED, this weapon light unleashes 500 lumens and 5,000 candela of concentrated light, throwing a focused 141-meter beam while simultaneously casting a wide peripheral spill for unmatched situational awareness. Tucked neatly below the bezel is an integrated, highly bright red targeting laser with adjustable windage and elevation screws, allowing for rapid, instinctive target acquisition in high-stress home defense scenarios.

What sets the "Flex" model apart is its custom ergonomic versatility. Out of the box, the light comes equipped with ambidextrous rear-facing paddle switches. Streamlight includes both a High switch and a Low switch option in the box, letting you tailor the physical height of the controls to match your hand size and trigger guard profile. Machined from rugged 6000-series aircraft aluminum with a protective black anodized finish, it features a specialized "safe-off" bezel twist lock to prevent accidental activation in transit. With an integrated one-handed rail clamp system, this light snaps tightly to your frame while keeping your hands safely clear of the muzzle during installation.
