Overview of the Streamlight TLR-7A Weapon Light | 69422
🔊 Listen to our audio overview 🔊
You want a compact pistol light that works every time, on duty or at home. The Streamlight TLR-7A Weapon Light 69422 gives you a strong 500 lumen beam in a sleek, lightweight body that will not drag down your handgun. Streamlight pairs an advanced custom optic with 5,000 candela so you get a tight hotspot out to 140 meters and enough spill to search rooms and navigate hallways.
This model uses a low position ergonomic switch that matches a modern shooting grip, with ambidextrous paddles for either hand. A safe off setting helps stop accidental activation in a holster and saves the CR123A lithium battery. The rail clamp, visible on the side of the light, lets you attach or remove the unit quickly from most compact and full size pistols without tools.
Machined aluminum construction, a matte black finish, an IPX7 waterproof rating, and assembly in the USA make this light ready for hard use by law enforcement, security, and concealed carriers. With MPN 69422 and UPC 080926694224, you get a proven weapon light that balances power, size, and reliability.

Compatibility
The Streamlight TLR-7A Weapon Light 69422 is designed for compact and full size handguns equipped with a standard accessory rail. It securely fits a broad range of pistols from major makers when there is at least one rail slot in front of the trigger guard and enough dust cover length to support the 2.58 inch body.
Very small subcompact pistols, guns without accessory rails, and some proprietary rails may not accept this light. Holster fit also depends on both the pistol and the light together, so you should use a holster specifically molded for your handgun with the TLR-7A installed. For exact fit across popular duty and concealed carry models, review Streamlight’s online TLR fit guide before purchase.
Intended Users
This weapon light serves patrol officers who need a compact yet powerful white light for traffic stops, building searches, and warrant service. The low switch paddles and safe off feature support everyday duty carry and secure holster use.
Armed security professionals can mount the TLR-7A on their issued sidearm to improve threat identification in parking structures, campuses, and industrial sites while keeping their gear streamlined.
Responsible civilian gun owners use the TLR-7A on home defense and concealed carry pistols to clearly identify targets in hallways, garages, and yards. The compact size makes it easier to carry than larger weapon lights while still providing serious output.
Firearms instructors and range staff rely on the TLR-7A during low light classes to demonstrate proper light use, strobe techniques, and weapon handling under realistic conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions about TLR-7A Weapon Light
Question 1
How bright is the Streamlight TLR-7A 69422 compared to larger pistol lights?
The TLR-7A delivers 500 lumens and 5,000 candela, which gives you usable light out to about 140 meters. While some full size lights have higher output, this model balances brightness with a compact body that is easier to conceal and more comfortable to carry.
Question 2
What battery does the TLR-7A use and is it included?
This light uses one CR123A lithium battery. The battery comes included in the package, so you can mount the light and begin training or carrying immediately. Typical runtime is up to 1.5 hours at full output.
Question 3
Can I get a different switch style if I do not like the low paddles?
Yes. The 69422 model is the low switch version, but Streamlight also offers a high switch variant for shooters who prefer higher rear paddles. You should select the version that best matches your grip and ensure your holster is built for that specific configuration.
Question 4
Is the TLR-7A suitable for law enforcement duty use?
The TLR-7A is designed with professional users in mind. Its machined aluminum body, IPX7 waterproof rating, safe off feature, and limited lifetime warranty make it an excellent choice for officers and security staff who carry daily and train regularly. Many agencies issue or approve similar Streamlight weapon lights.
Question 5
How do I know if the TLR-7A will fit my holster and pistol combo?
First, confirm that your pistol has an accessory rail and is listed on Streamlight’s TLR fit guide. Then choose a holster that is specifically molded for your pistol model with the TLR-7A attached. Standard pistol only holsters usually will not fit once the light is mounted.
