Let’s be honest, for the most part 300 Lumens is all we need for everyday tasks. I mean yeah, sometimes we need more, but I grew up with a lot less and everything worked out just fine.
Streamlight really knocked this one out of the park good looking, small, lightweight, and rechargeable, the WEDGE checks all my EDC boxes. And right now, it can be found just about everywhere for around $80. Can’t beat that with a bat.
The Wedge is a compact, high-performance EDC light designed for clean pocket carry. It’s outfitted with an intuitive rotating thumb switch that provides tactile control over the constant-on and THRO® (Temporarily Heightened Regulated Output) modes.

I own about as many flashlights as my wife does purses. Hell, I don’t even know where half of my lights are at around my house. Either way, I see the Streamlight as an eye catching, path and trail lighting winner. It’s also available in black for all of you super tactical guys out there. MSRP is $165 but you can find one for about half that price here:
