> 24 hourI have gone through multiple EDC lights that keep breaking clips or stop working altogether. I hesitated to spend $80 on a flashlight but read a review above that changed my mind. My only regret is that I didnt do it sooner. This light is built solid and exceeds every expectation I had. Extremely bright and the clip is built to last years. Its a little larger than I expected but fits comfortably in the pocket and I hardly know its there thanks to the wedge design. When pulled from the pocket my thumb is immediately on the power switch and that is important to me. Streamlight knocked it out of the park with this one. I hope this review helps someone to pull the trigger and own one themselves

> 24 hourSeems actually about 100 lumens- which is plenty! More than that and youd run battery down fast while blinding yourself. Uses the same charging cable as my cellphone, so id fantastic for traveling. Fits in pocket just like a folding knife. A little longer than some knives though. It comes with a parachord loop to help pull out of pocket, but I learned years ago that a loop can catch on things. (Drawer knob anyone?). So I untied the loop, made a knot onto the clip and let the rope dangle. Is now as complicated as a zipper pull. Im an old school mechanic (we are picky about tools; snap-on, streamlight, Leatherman, 5.11 and Dewalt only). This is my EDC flashlight now.

> 24 hourI lean toward Streamlights products, as they tend to have very high quality lights, made properly for their intended use and are (comparatively) reasonably priced. In my experience a cheap light will always disappoint, especially when its cold, dark and scary. Ive never had a Streamlight fail (outright) and theyve made a lot of design progress since the old SL-20 days. (BTW, I still have two of those, they still work and Streamlight still stands behind the warranty of these 30+ year old lights switches!) So I pried open my wallet and once the moths and dust cleared away, I dropped $86 on the Wedge. It is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best EDC light I have ever owned. It is feature rich while still being simple...and thankfully is devoid of that ridiculous strobe function found on so many (cheap and expensive) lights. You can place the clasp on either side, slide this ergonomically shaped light into your pocket and forget about it, until you need it. It is far more comfortable than the standard cylindrical lights and is the perfect partner for an EDC pocket knife. I attached a pic with the Wedge next to a pen for size reference - its longer than my other EDC lights but the shape just fits much more comfortably into my pocket, so I would suggest you dont worry about the length of the light ruining your ability to sit, drive or run with the Wedge in your pocket. Toughest decision is color, thats it. I highly recommend this light for EDC or backup light carry (professionals and emergency service personnel). Heck, buy two - because we all know that with lights, one is none and two is one.

> 24 hourI literally carry this every day. Ive beat the crap out of it. I bought a second for my emergency kit incase of a power outage. The only thing I would suggest is to get a micro USB rubber plug cover for the charging port. Very solid, affordable, durable, long lasting light!

> 24 hourStreamlight has been my go to since traveling abroad in the early 90s in Central America. It gets dark down there! Great lights and this one does disappoint. Expensive…yeah. But this is a light for many years.

> 24 hourThis light has good ergonomic design. The rectangular shape and clip make for easy carry. It is very bright. The USB-C is charge connection is convenient. But it is made in China and is very overpriced. I recognized the price was hight but thought it was a USA product. There are many lights at 1/4 the price that probably work as well. If I lost this Streamlight I would not replace it at the high cost. I think Streamlight is gouging the customer on this product.
