Streamlight is among the most respected companies that produce high-quality lights. The Wedge Flashlight has proven very popular in recent years, with a pocket-friendly shape that resembles a pocket knife more than a flashlight. Now, the company has launched a new Wedge flashlight model — a ‘little brother’ if you will. This model is smaller, with a push-button tail switch instead of the toggle switch on the original Wedge. They’re calling this new one the Ultra-Compact EDC Wedge XT.
“Like the popular Wedge EDC light, the unique, ergonomic design of the Wedge XT makes it the perfect concealed carry light for patrol duty, tactical maneuvers, and automotive, industrial, or DIY uses,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamight’s Chief Revenue Officer. “It’s also perfect for outdoor uses, including hunting, camping, boating, or just about any activity where you need a dependable light on hand for instant, bright illumination.”
