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

When I first played with one of these streamlights, I was hooked and needed my own. It has quickly become my EDC, and I don’t feel any different than normal carrying it. Its constant on and momentary brightness are incredible. Be careful though, when the bezel says it will get hot it means it.

I work in a body shop as a blue printer and often out in the shop with the techs while their doing a disassembly on a vehicle. This light is bright enough for me to look for damage in dark areas around, under and inside a vehicle. Perfect for the front or back pocket. Charged it right out the box and used it several times today and still going. I think it will last me a few days possibly a week before I need to charge it again. Good product by Streamlight!

It’s maybe a little silly how excited I am about my new flashlight, but there’s something so pleasingly… sleek yet serious? about it that I can’t help myself. It works as reliably as any other streamlight I’ve owned and has a good, strong beam and good battery life, but there are some small differences that really make this a stand out for me, particularly the shape and the on/off/intensity dial. I LOVE the on/off mechanism. The button on the end of the round ones was fine, though it always eventually wore out, but this is so convenient and natural to use, and it won’t wear out and need replaced. It’s in the perfect position to let my thumb rest there if I’m loosely holding it at my side or have my hand on it in my pocket, and I don’t have to change my grip to turn it on to either the regular setting or the temporary high output one. Easy to hold, easy to use, just all around great. So great, in fact, that it’s made me feel safer going for walks at night. I actually got it because one of my favorite things on my nightly walks is looking for the neighborhood skunks, and while they seem to be either stupid or confident enough not to care about me shining light to see them better, my phone was never bright enough. This is the perfect skunk light—and you can quote me on that—but the convenience of the dial is such that if anyone tried to cause me trouble, I could have 1000 lumens shining in their eyes before they realized I was holding anything. I also just casually push the dial when a car is coming so it makes a nice bright spot on the road and catches their attention if they haven’t seen me yet. I’ve had the usual round streamlight flash/penlights before without issue, but I find this shape more elegant and visually appealing, and the novelty of it makes it feel a little special. It seems like they advertise it as being better for carrying in your pocket, which may well be true, but the pockets I’m carrying it in are neither fancy nor tight enough for it to make a significant difference, though I do think it feels a little more secure. I really do just find this shape so attractive; it’s like in ye olde days, when new iPhone models actually felt different and exciting, and everyone wanted the new one right away. Anyway, this flashlight is great because it’s a great flashlight, and also because it makes me happy and fills the hole in my heart with light ~♡~

Ease of use

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!

I work in data centers, so this light’s shape is awesome. I can set it inside if a server and it won’t roll around, or set it on the floor, or on a cart, while I use my hands to try and find cables or fallen parts. It’s a little big and kinda bulky in the pocket, but I just put it in a bag instead and that makes the size a moot point. All in, I’d recommend it for people who need light, while also needing to use both hands

At first I thought it was great. After one year, not so much. The battery drains pretty quick and takes extremely long to fully charge. There is no indication of battery life. The casing is not ideal, it’s a smooth metal that gets beat up easily and has no grip or magnet. For $90 I expect long battery life with some sort of indicator. Some sort of ruggedness. And it should charge at a normal rate and not take 6 hours.

Super bright, very light. One of the best smaller flashlights on the market. I carry it in my back pocket at the 8 oclock position during the night and it does not interfere with sitting.

Feels solid. Lightweight. Just a basic, bright light. A few people complain about the USB-C port being open. Buy a USB-C cover like this one - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085T5L9T6

This light is bright enough but I dont like the on/off switch I cant get used to it, Im going back to my microstream
