Streamlight 88810 Wedge 300-Lumen Slim Everyday Carry Flashlight, Includes USB-C Cord, Lanyard, Box, Black

I use this to work on cars and this little light is bright even before the second brightness setting 10/10 recommend this for any other mechanics or tech out there.

I’ve owned a few Streamlights and this became my favorite immediately out of the box. Its super bright for its size, its lightweight, and the beam pattern is a 100-180° flood. IPX-7 and drop resistant to boot. Carries like a pocket knife and about the size of one too. Its not cheap but thats what you pay for the durability and quality. Plus Streamlight has a great warranty program. 10 out of 10 highly recommended.

This is much brighter than I thought it would be, theres basically no indoor scenario where youd need the brightest-setting; but its good to have it for outdoors. The weight of the light is far less than it looks, its basically like holding two AA batteries IMO. ...Some might say the light is big, but thats why it has fantastic battery life, a smaller light wouldve just reduced runtime - this is the main reason I bought this, for the batter life. The USB-C charger is a nice touch, since everyone has a cell phone that charges with one these days anyways.

Its a nice compact item thats easy to carry. For the price its a good value. Theres obviously brighter lights, but this is adequate for most of my needs.

Ive bought 3 so far. 1 got stolen, other one lost, number 3 is here to stay (hopefully). As a mechanic, I remember a guy Id worked with had one, then a while later Matco truck came by, listing it for about $200?! Of course it had the Matco logo added on, but you could probably buy 2 on here, take it to a laser shop, and have them add the logo, and still save money... Anyways, I digress, I love this thing, streamlight has always been OP, itll usually last a work week depending on what im doing - obviously it being hand held its mostly inspection or quick jobs being held in my mouth (this thing is a joy to suck on btw, all techs do this so no need to be shy - it being so slim makes me feel much less sus than the meaty cylindrical rechargeable Streamlight, I save that type of girth for the weekends only). Only thing to keep in mind, it being meant more for pockets than shirts - scratching cars. Havent done it, but youve gotta remember its there because very easy to do.

So… I hardly ever do reviews but I love this little flashlight. It’s super slim and easy to carry. I’m in the aviation industry so a bright portable light is a must for me (preflighting aircraft, looking in small dark spaces, etc). But the main reason I’m writing this review is because it helped bring my little girl into this world. My wife and I were on the way to the hospital this morning. Well she couldn’t “hold it” so I ended up delivering my daughter on the side of the road in the dark. I was on the phone with 911 and could barely see as they were asking me to look at this and look at that. I suddenly remembered I had my flashlight in my pocket so it was a life saver lol! BLUF: If you’re looking for a small, powerful, and versatile flashlight? This is definitely it!

This are probobly one of the best lights Ive tried, great for work!

For a pocket flashlight, it fits pretty conveniently if you need some thing, fast and quick best choice ever

This is a beautiful flashlight, feels great in my hand, excellent controls, and solidly built. The beam is less focused than my other Streamlight, Surefire and Fenix which makes the throw seem much shorter. I would have to recommend the Fenix E35 over this light for brightness even though I keep inadvertently changing the brightness setting on the Fenix. If you are looking for a wide bright beam, this is the light for you. If looking for a really long throw, get the Fenix.

As my title says I like the light, I feel it only has three short comings. The first is that it has a short battery life, but for an EDC light that shouldnt really matter much. This is still a great light to keep in your pocket to get you to a bigger light should you need one out of your truck or backpack. Second is that it lacks a dust cover for the charging port. I know that I can buy them from the aftermarket, but that isnt the point. I want one that stays attached when charging so I dont have to go through a whole 20 pack of the aftermarket ones in a year because I have a toddler who wants to steal my flashlight every time I charge it. Running USB-C without a port cover is a poor decision as the contacts easily get damaged and stop working. And third is the lack of a moonlight or discreet mode which the competition offers on the equivalent EDC pocket light. For me the deciding factor between this and a stiletto was that I wanted USB-C charging, I had slight buyers remorse over these three factors but am still very happy with the product, especially at the price point. Thro mode is also fantastic.
