Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Very lightweight, good clip, easy to use one handed. The “peakdesign waistband’ works perfectly and prevents from dropping the xt. It's lightweight enough to go in your shirt pocket or a sleeve pocket. I wish it had a 2-way clip so it can be clipped o... Read More

Great flashlight for edc. The build of the flashlight is solid. I have other streamlight flashlights with ove 1000 lumens.

It is bright enough to disorient someone looking directly at it. The wedge is programmable so i keep the bright setting first.

This is a floody light and it is surprisingly bright and reliable. Works perfect as it's a wide angle floodlight, and easily goes wall to wall in a shipping container. My only issues are the light is a little too much like a flood.

I have and like the original but this one is a better fit for me. I highly recommend to someone who likes the surefire stiletto pro saving a hundred plus bucks!

Cons

I have a 30 waist, so no its not my fat gut turning it on. The pocket clip metal is cheap and bends easily. It’s like trying to bend a paper clip.

Best edc light perfect balance of light fits nicely in pocket easily retrieved love that the button is right on top

First off it gets very hot at the bulb end after a few minutes of continuous use

05034 hex wrench and i was not able to loosen the 2 screws with it they are so tight that the tool spun and made the screw heads round

Price

I highly recommend to someone who likes the surefire stiletto pro saving a hundred plus bucks

But that’s not why i gave it 4 stars i would have given 5 except for the price

I don’t believe it’s worth what they are charging and if the price stays the same i won’t buy it again…

I did think it was rather expensive for only having two light levels or settings

Shipping

Unless youre directing a cargo ship in fog its all the light youll need

Competitiveness

In the photo included is the original wedge compared to the wedge xt and their size difference

Old school law enforcement will appreciate the location of the switch compared to the large version
