Streamlight 88813 Wedge XT 500-Lumen Slim Everyday Carry Flashlight, Includes USB-Cable and Pocket Lanyard, Coyote

This is a great little light. I considered a lot of different small flashlights, most featuring rechargeable 18650 batteries, but ultimately went with this because of the small size and being flat. This in the pocket basically feels like a pocket knife, which is great. The light is very bright with a wide “wall of light” effect, and the tail cap button works well with toggle or momentary. The hi to lo is intuitive and reprogrammable which is a nice touch. The only gripe I have is that I wish it had a 2-way clip so it can be clipped on a hat bill. It’s great having a powerful flashlight that takes no belt space. And at the end of the day I plug it in on the nightstand, so it is always charged when I need it!

I carried the Wedge's earlier incarnation for over a year and loved it. The only thing I did NOT love about it was how much real estate it took up in my pocket. I did like the rocker switch concept with that Wedge, and was hesitant to leap into this newer Wedge's pushbutton operating system. Because we've all had lights that require numerous button-pushes to get to the straight-up LIGHT function. That flashing nonsense which, in theory, debilitates an attacker? How many "attackers" do I come into contact on a daily basis? Shockingly few. AND, maybe it's just me, but getting that flashing thing when I just wanted to illuminate something seemed silly.HOWEVER, that's NOT the experience I had with this Wedge. You can HOLD the button for light, or CLICK the button to turn it on. A doubleclick gives you LESS light, for sitches in which you might not need to blind everyone in the vicinity. And that's it! No BS flashy-flash tactical nonsense!Battery life has been superb, and it's relatively small and beautiful. At LEAST three thumbs-up for this product!

I have been a fan of Streamlight for years and have several that I rotate regularly.The Wedge XT checks all the boxes. Super bright. Compact. Still fills the hand nicely. I cannot count how many times I've used this light as a part of my EDC kit.

Very bright, compact, sturdy pocket clasp, but the programmable button pushes need editing. Five pushes to be sure it does not illuminate in your pocket unknowingly, ten pushes to select bright light or blinding light levels.Still, a keeper.

Works really well and as expected. Comfortable to use and carry daily. Would be better if it was a little cheaper :)

This light is really close to the pocket light I have been waiting for. It is slightly larger than I would like, but it is easily rechargeable, gets good batter life, and way brighter then the previous micro streamlight that I had. I personally don't like flashlights that have multiple modes and brightness settings because I hate having the press the button 9 times just to turn a flashlight on/off. This flashlight has multiple modes but the button has memory so it will turn on to 100% brightness if you just push the button one time, and then off after you push the button again. This light is expensive, and a little bit bigger than I would prefer, but overall it is a great light!

Gave this to my son as a gift and he really enjoys the slim profile and great lighting. He uses it everyday at work.

Dislike: battery life not as long as Wedge.Like: light functions just as well as Wedge. Smaller and therefore better holding of light.Buy It! It's Great!
