FAQ
One common concern is how well the TLR-8 performs in adverse weather. Its IPX4 rating means it's resistant to splashes from any direction, making it suitable for use in light rain or wet conditions. However, it's not designed for prolonged exposure to water.
Maintenance is straightforward. Regularly check the battery and ensure the mounting hardware is secure. If the light becomes dim or the laser is weak, replacing the CR123A battery will often restore performance. For more serious issues, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
When comparing the TLR-8 to other tactical lights, consider your specific needs. Other models may offer different features, such as higher lumens or longer battery life, but the TLR-8's combination of light and laser functions, along with its compact size, makes it a strong contender for everyday carry.
