The Streamlight TLR-7 X has long been considered the best CCW light, but the new Olight PL X just changed the game. In this detailed Olight PL X vs Streamlight TLR-7 X review, we test if Olight’s massive 1,200 Lumens and 22,500 Candela are enough to dethrone the king. Unlike standard pistol lights, the PL X features a revolutionary Dual Beam Switch, allowing you to instantly toggle between a wide Flood for home defense and a piercing Spotlight for long-range identification.
We conducted a full drone beam test to visualize the shockng difference between the TLR-7 X’s 500 lumens and the PL X’s 300-meter throw. If you are looking for the best weapon-mounted light (WML) for 2026 that fits existing holsters (Werkz, Rounded, Crossbreed), this comparison provides the definitive scorecard you need.

Which light won and why? Let me know!
That drone shot was awesome, we need more of that boy!
Lolled at "it actually works on pistols as well"
Didn’t see the company list with the PL X molds…
Even the other one fits perfectly on that flux
OLight has a better light but as far as comparability with widespread holsters TLR reigns supreme but if you can find a holster you like that fits the PL X than go with OLight
Why not compare it to the tlr 7hlx
Shouldve compared it to the HLX streamlight
Waiting on my ikc holster to be built. Will the PLX fit in any TLR7- holsters?
Your review is a little disingenuous… not comparing the TLR7 HL-X makes you sound like a shill.
Streamlight.
After long term use with the Olight and the batteries can't be charged any longer, can the batteries be changed out for new batteries??
Great video. The flux is crazy cool. I get my plx light today. Watching your vid only made me more excited.
Will it fit in my TLR X 7 holster?
Would it fit a hellcat pro ??
What in the Arkansas hell is that gun? 😂
Does the plx fit on sub compact pistols like the Springfield xds 45acp?
Great video, it a great light. Did you mention the strobe feature?
Olight for sure based on this comparison.
Nice video!
