Streamlight Launches Wedge Rechargeable EDC Flashlight
The Streamlight Wedge is the latest in the company’s line of EDC flashlights and I can’t wait to try it. It should be available soon. The Wedge is a USB-C rechargeable everyday carry flashlight with a thin, compact design for deep pocket carry. It features an intuitive rotating thumb switch. The Wedge provides two modes: 300-lumen Constant-On mode and 1,000-lumen momentary THRO (Temporarily Heightened Regulated Output) mode.
Streamlight Wedge Is Well Named
“With its unique ergonomic design, the Wedge sets a new standard for EDC pocket lights,” said Streamlight Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Michael F. Dineen.
“It’s both slim and flat so that it can be carried comfortably.
It features a reversible pocket clip and allows for full concealment in a pants pocket.
It’s the ideal EDC light, whether for patrol duty or tactical maneuvers, outdoor uses, or automotive, industrial and DIY jobs.”
A 35-Second Burst of 1,000-Lumen Light
On the THRO momentary setting, the Streamlight Wedge delivers a 35-second burst of 1,000 lumens and 3,000 candela over a 110-meter beam distance. In Constant-On mode, it provides 300 lumens, 1,200 candela, a beam distance of 69 meters, and a 3-hour run time.
A Rechargeable, Pocket-Sized Light
The Wedge uses a 1500 mAh lithium polymer cell battery that recharges by plugging a USB-C cord into the light’s waterproof rear socket. Red and green LEDs indicate charging status.
Made from rugged anodized aluminum, the Wedge measures just 5.46 inches long and 1.0 inch high and weighs 3.3 ounces.
The new light is IPX7-rated for waterproof operation to one meter.
It also is impact-resistance tested to one meter. The light will be available in black and coyote.
It has an MSRP of $149.95 and comes with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty. For more information on the Streamlight Wedge, go to www.Streamlight.com.
