![]() Secondly, it’s set up for righties, which is fine by me because I’m right-handed … except that my personal preference is to carry my torch in my left pocket (freeing up my primary side). The Wedge has a switch close to the LED, so it forces me to hold it in a forward hammer grip if I want to light it up. My preferred tactical flashlight is the kind with the on-button on the endcap, because it’s quick to activate once you secure an ice-pick grip. The one I’m testing out and currently carrying is the Streamlight Wedge. One of my most favorite implements for improvised self-defense weapons are flashlights. Here are a few thoughts on the Streamlight Wedge in the context of use as an improvised weapon by Patrick V.

The Wedge’s Lithium Ion battery can be recharged via the USB-C socket at the rear of the light, and there’s no need to worry about water damage until you get past 1 meter submerged. Red and green LEDs indicate charging status. 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. A simple thumb switch controls light throw, while colored lights indicate the light’s charge status. In Constant On mode, it provides 300 lumens, 1,200 candela, a beam distance of 69 meters and a 3-hour run time. On the THRO momentary setting, the Wedge delivers a 35-second burst of 1,000 lumens and 3,000 candela over a 110-meter beam distance. Streamlight is available at a number of online locations, including: As indicated by our EDC description, this flashlight - much like the Surefire Stiletto it was almost certainly designed to compete with - is streamlined in such a way as to make it a handy and easy to carry task light. It’s not designed as a “tactical light”, though it would likely serve well in that capacity.
