I have a TLR-1 HL, it's great and they don't cost too much. Puts out 800 lumens. Anything anyone would recommend over that for the same price range or less?

I use one on a rifle. What's the difference, you want a bright light on both.

For a rifle you can use the HL-X, 1000 lumens and a few dollars cheaper than the TLR.

short answer no  

long answer lumens alone does not mean as much  as spot distance, and flood range. the tlr1hl does well here but the tlr hp offers the turbo head and almost double the throw.   800-1000 lumen lights or drop in upgrades are becoming common. my M952 has a $15 1000lumen drop in but my tlrhl offers more throw and a brighter spot.

Range isn't too much of an isdue, it's for one of my house guns.

Just be aware of mounting issues due to its size. It's also heavy.
