Streamlight88813 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!

fits in the hand great... bright ..... best flashlight ever

I purchased the larger version of this light and liked it a lot, but found it wasn't well suited to casual EDC / pocket carry due to its length. Tried this version and while I miss the rotary switch, this one actually fits in my pocket and the longer battery life gives me some peace of mind during camping trips etc. I set it so the light is 'low' when first turned on which is bright enough for 90% of my needs, really like having that option instead of having to click through different modes to get to the one I want.Only complaint is I wish the USB C port had some kind of cover, afraid I'll get a bunch of sand in there or accidentally smear it with grease while working under cars etc.The Flytanium Universal pocket clip fits these lights, highly recommended as the longer clip made getting the short light into my pocket a two handed task on occasion.Spyderco Delica 4 for size reference: length is comparable but the light is about 1.5 Delicas thick - enough that you notice it, but not so much it is a problem.

This has been my favorite flashlight I've ever owned. It's so slim I often forget it's in my pocket. Takes up little no room. I prefer the button activation over its big brother's lever switch activation. The locking ability has been an absolute lifesaver. Everyone needs this light for EDC
