Here are the best CZ P01 light upgrades:
We have created a list of recommended lights based on their lumen intensity, durability, control ergonomics and value for money.
Let's check them out...
The Streamlight TLR 2 HL G rail-mounted flashlight comes with a (<5mW Class 3R) Green laser that provides long-range targeting especially in low light conditions.
Police officers around the country use this light the most.
In addition it comes with a programmable strobe for deterring threats with intense non-lethal light beam.
Burn through photonic barrier easily - This 800 lumen white LED light (20,000 candela) is extremely effective for handguns in low light conditions, especially when there are fog and other ambient light present.
20K candela can EASILY burn cut through the photonic barrier and light up the scene.
What people are saying about this light - What’s cool about getting the TLR2 G for the CZ 75 is the best alternative to the SureFire X400
The user has the option to purchase an remote switch to go with the device for easier light activation.
If saving money while going after something like the Surefire X400 is what you have been looking for, then the Streamlight TLR 2 HL G is the product you don’t want to miss.
SureFire XH30 / Best Multi-Function
The Surefire XH30 is the improved version of the X300U with added strobe mode for signaling and disorienting capabilities in tactical situations.
Powerful Throw - High candela rating means more throw, which means the light can illuminate far like a laser without dimming down, and it can be used as a threat control device to temporarily impairing an adversary’s vision while keeping a safe distance.
Multi-Lumen Modes - 1,000 blinding lumens for lighting up the environment in the dark & blind threats, and 300 lumen if less brightness is desired for close proximity indoor use.
In addition, a powerful throw performance enables the beam to power through photonic barriers such as fog and ambient lights.
NOTE: If you already have a holster for the X300, the XH35/30 will not fit due to the difference on the front lens.
Streamlight TLR 7A Flex - Best Compact Light
The TLR 7A Flex is the best compact CZ P01 light - The new TLR 7A Flex is small, compact and good looking with upgraded control ergonomics from the original model.
It’s super light and compact, which takes only 1 CR123A battery (50,000 hours) that can produce up to 500 lumens & 5000 candela with its C4 LED technology.
Flush fit perfectly on the compact CZ P01 - The light fits flush for compact carry for faster holstering
Wide indoor spill - Streamlight’s TIR Optic produces a concentrated beam with optimum peripheral illumination within 30 – 40 yards.
Improved Activation switches - Ambidextrous control from both sides, the user can activate the light simply by pushing the button. Also works with one hand operation
We highly recommend this product for its size, performance and price, and it’s probably the best for compact CZ75 for the money.
Surefire XC1B
The Surefire XC1B is the smallest and the best weapon light for CZ P01. It fits flush with the muzzle on the full-size model, and just slightly over the muzzle on the compact models.
XC1B only comes with the light without the laser. It features a recoil-proof LED that’s focused by a multi-faceted reflector to create our broad 300-lumen MaxVision Beam perfect for illuminating and identifying threats at close range.
How strong is this light - Built with lightweight, strong aerospace aluminum hard anodized with a durable Mil-Spec finish, making the XC1-B plenty rugged enough for everyday carry and duty use.
Improved constant-on activation by tapping either one of the momentary switches (ambi). To turn off, simply tap either one of the momentary switches again.
MSRP: $299
Olight PL PRo - Best Value
The Olight PL Pro is a unique light that shares similar features as the Surefire X300. It's the closest light to a X300 without spending over $290.
If you want to check out the comparison review between the two, please click here to read.
The light produces up to 1500 lumens using its CREE XP-L HI LED, and its powered by its built in lithium battery.
The light feels similar to the X300, but the controls are definitely not as superior, because momentary on isn't as easy as just by tapping the switch.
But the switch gives very positive feedback for someone wearing gloves.
As far as the mounting mechanism goes, the light comes with an integrated QD mount that snaps on to the CZ 75 picatinny rail perfectly with adjustable tension.
For the money, you are getting one powerful and compact weapon light built for carry & home defense.

Common FAQ
What Lumen Brightness Should Be Enough For Home Defense?
When you mount a light on the CZ 75 compact for home defense or concealed carry, it's important to understand that lumen intensity isn't everything.
We have a detailed article breaking down what is lumen & candela as to how much brightness you need in a weapon light.
In addition, It's inevitable that the lens will get fogged up by the carbon residue the more you shoot.
Cleaning the carbon off the weapon light is one necessary thing you have to do after each range session.
Flashlight Extends Past The Muzzle VS Flush Mount
If you're interested getting a handheld tactical light as well, please check out our best EDC tactical flashlight guide here.
Extends Past The Muzzle
For personal defense purpose, it's recommended to have the flashlight extends past the muzzle just a little to prevent the slide from going out of battery, if the defender finds himself in a "point blank contact shoot" situation.
Or use it as a striking tool.
Mounts Flush With Muzzle
A light that sits flush with the muzzle feels more compact & it's slightly faster to draw without the extra slide length slowing you down.
