![]() ![]() Battery life is an advertised three hours at 300 lumens. The switch won’t stay in the THRO position, you have to hold it there with your thumb. That rotating switch has three positions-Off, click On for 300 lumens, and then you can push it forward for 1000 lumens in the THRO (Temporarily Heightened Regulated Output) setting. The pocket clip is located at the very end of the body, and when it’s stuffed in your pocket nobody will be able to tell what it is. In shape it reminds me of a rectangular carpenter’s pencil, but fatter. There are serrations on one side of the body, opposite the switch, along with two wide grooves, to help keep it in your grasp. You’ll see that the body of the Wedge is smooth. The rotating switch has three settings-Off, as seen here, On, for 300 lumens, and push and hold all the way forward for 35 seconds at 1000 lumens. The flashlight has an IPX7 waterproof rating, which means it is submersible to 1 meter. The charging port doesn’t have a cover, but is supposed to be waterproof. There is an indicator light visible through the polymer activator switch which tells you the status of your battery (green is good, red is bad). The battery is internal, and charged through a USB-C port at the end of the unit. ![]() ![]() It is 5.46-inches long, an inch wide, and about 5/8 inch thick, not including the pocket clip, which can be switched from one side to the other. It’s honestly built like an Out The Front (OTF) switchblade, which means the knife-shaped Streamlight Wedge should be called the Stiletto, and the wedge-shaped Surefire Stiletto should be called the Wedge. The Wedge is non-traditional in appearance and construction. As I write this I’ve been carrying it every day for a month or so, and if you look close at the accompanying photos you can see the pocket lint in its crannies. The Wedge is available in black and coyote tan, and I obtained a sample of the latter for testing. I’ve been carrying a Surefire Stiletto-their dedicated EDC light-every day for over a year now, and have reviewed it in these pages, and wanted to try out Streamlight’s take on the tool. Streamlight has a new flashlight intended specifically for everyday carry-the Wedge. ![]()
