WEDGE XT – Slim, High-Performance Light Designed for Easy Pocket Carry, One-Handed Use
Streamlight Inc. have launched the USB-C rechargeable Wedge XT, the latest in its line of high-performance everyday carry (EDC) lights. Delivering up to 500 lumens for two hours on high, and measuring just 10.8cm, the new light
features a flat, low-profile design that allows for concealed carry in either pocket, and a tactical push-button tail switch for easy, one-handed use.
“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 manoeuvres, and automotive, industrial, or DIY uses,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamlight’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.”
The new light features an intuitive tail switch that provides tactile control over the light’s momentary or constant-on operation. A Five-Tap™ lockout feature of the switch also prevents the light from turning on inside a pocket or bag. A handy deep-pocket clip secures the light to any pocket or other places for easy access.
The Wedge XT uses power LED technology to provide two output levels: On High, it offers 500 lumens, 1,900 candela, an 87-metre beam distance and a run time of two hours. The Low setting provides 50 lumens, 200 candela, a 28-metre beam distance and a run time of 11 hours. A TENTAP® programmable switch allows users to select from two different programs: high/low or low/high.
The Wedge XT features an integrated 950 mAh lithium polymer cell battery that can be conveniently recharged in the light by plugging the included USB-C cord into the waterproof USB port. The battery fully recharges in six hours; red and green indicator LEDs above the charge port provide charge status.
Made from rugged anodised aluminum and featuring a polycarbonate lens, the Wedge XT balances durability with performance. Measuring 10.8cm long and 2.5cm high, it weighs 74.28g with the battery. It is IPX7-rated for waterproof operation to one metre; it also is impact-resistance tested to one metre
