Streamlight Wedge XT Flashlight Silver 500 Lumens

The Streamlight Wedge XT in silver, rated at 500 lumens.

This carries the same lumen rating as the Wedge SL and a considerably higher price, and our supplier data does not explain the XT designation. Something is different — switching, cell type, beam pattern and build are all places manufacturers spend money without changing the headline number — but we would be guessing, and a guess on a product page is worse than a blank.

• Flashlight, 500 lumens
