Reviews & Ratings for Streamlight Wedge Lithium Polymer 1000 Lumens LED Flashlight — 29 reviews — Page 1

A fine light this is the second one I have bought. The first after four years was eaten by our snowblower and blown out 30ft after two months when the snow melted I recovered it. The case was cracked, gouged and twisted and it still lit up. I ordered a new one!
This is my Every Day Carry (EDC) light Super useful.

Complaints I wish it had a low setting 5-10 lumens, but I love its brightness!

I really enjoy how slim and ease of use this flashlight is. I have never had any issues with this flashlight and it's built to take some abuse. I lost my previous one and bought this same one as a replacement.

A minor complaint I do have is the USB c port is exposed and junk finds it's way in there but it's easily cleaned out with a safety pin.

This is a great flashlight for your pocket or to leave in the truck. I will be getting another one soon.

Bigger then, I thought it would be, but it's still a great edc light and would recommend it. It is very bright and easy to use from low to high settings.

THIS IS A VERY HANDY FLASH LIGHT; THE SIZE IS GREAT FOR POCKET CARRY. VERY BRIGHT ON HI SETTING ROUGHED AND RECHARGABLE

I have had the original wedge and love it. I love this one just as much or more as it is smaller and has more lumens!

I had been wanting to pick one of these up for a while. Don't wait. Its got about the same footprint in my pocket as my knife. I've only been carrying it for about a month soo longevity is still up in the air. One of my concerns with the rear button was that the light would UD in my pocket when sitting or through normal day to day activities. I didn't want to utilize the lockout function while carrying it. Turns out it didn't matter at all. Not once. very happy so far with the overall purchase.

I've submitted a full review of this flashlight, so if you're reading the five-star reviews, you'll see it if you haven't already. There was just one thing I wanted to add--God forbid you'd ever need to use a compact flashlight as an impact weapon to defend your life, but if you did, the size might matter. I have wide hands, and if I grip this model like an ice-pick, it only spans the width across my palm. I also own the other, longer model with the single 300 lumen lamp, and if I grip it like an ice-pick, it extends out of my fist about an inch and a half.

I've owned this flashlight for about two and a half years, so I feel like I know this product well enough to review it. I also own the new model, which is a little smaller.
Bottom line, you really can't go wrong with either. Both models are great because of their fundamental features they have in common. I wouldn't say that one is necessarily better than the other--each person will have more or less of a preference for their different features.
These flashlights, both this model and the new one, are VERY easy to keep in any pocket, including the pocket of a dress shirt. If you buy it, you will keep it with you all the time, and you'll find you use it all the time, and you'll get your money's worth.
Battery life is extraordinary and the LED battery indicator is extremely handy. In 2 1/2 years I've never been caught with the battery fully discharged. Also, after 2 1/2 years the battery still seems to hold its full charge. The new, small model has a longer battery life if used exclusively on low-beam, which is how I use it, but I have never felt like I needed more run time when using this original model. Also, if you were outdoors and needed to search around for hours, you'd likely be using the high beam of the new model, in which case you'd have a somewhat brighter light, but less run time. Pick the compromise you like better.
These are rugged flashlights. I've dropped mine a few times but it's never sustained damage, not even the lens.

I own this flashlight in both bronze and black colors. I also own the original Wedge (see this link https://www.opticsplanet.com/streamlight-88810-wedge-flashlight-300-lumens-led-aluminum-black-usb-c.html) and have had it for about two and a half years, so I feel like I know this product well enough to review both of the wedge models, the original and this new one. This review will cover both, focusing on this model more than the original.

The high-low beam feature of this new model is surprisingly valuable. The low-beam is sufficient for almost everything I need to do with this flashlight, whether it's re...
