Stiletto Pocket Light

I don’t like that the program functions are difficult to set up

This light is so nice it belongs to my wife now. :). We have no sidewalks so going for a walk can be dangerous in the winter. I know she is seen with the Scorpion. It could be improved with a lock-out switch to prevent it turning on in my pocket.

The size is just right - fits easily in my pocket, and fits nicely in my hand. The pocket clip works really well, and it can be used to clip onto the brim of a hat. The buttons are intuitively placed. The tailcap button is a bit hard to press, however since I dont use that button - its not a problem for me. The main thumb-operated button goes from low to medium to high. This order can be changed if you want it to come on high then go to medium and then low. The low setting of 5 lumens is plenty bright enough for most indoor and close up outdoor operations. The medium setting is bright enough for most outdoor operations. The high setting could probably temporarily blind/disorient an attacker. The strobe setting would also be very useful for disorienting an attacker, however since you have to push the tail cap button three times then hold to use it and the button is quite hard to push - this might not be an easy feature for practical operation. Since I did not purchase the light for this reason it is not a consideration for me. Its my favorite everyday carry light, and rechargeable means no batteries to replace!

Surefire got the Stiletto right. Its not a full blown tac light, but its perfect for daily use and has a good level of brightness that you wouldnt expect. The best feature for me, without a doubt, is that the size and configuration allows me to carry it every day. I cant say that about any of my purpose built tactical lights.

awesome flashlight light strong easy to manipulate, puts many other brands to shame

This flashlight is awesome. Been carrying it for about a month and Ive been using it fairly liberally and havent needed to charge it yet. Big enough to fit your hand but small enough to easily carry without it being noticeable. Its max setting is super bright.

This light was returned. First off, even with a full charge, it didnt seem close to 650 lumens. Second, the flashlight, although it fits great in the pocket, is smooth & odd shaped in the hand, and therefore is difficult to hold onto. If trying to use the flashlight help overhand, using your thumb to operate the rear activation switch, the light will tend to slide through your fingers/hand, and you will be readjusting your grip again and again. The idea is sound, and I have no doubt than the next generation of this light will have serrations for a better grip, and probably a few hundred more lumens.

Gotta know what you are getting here, this is an excellent EDC light. Super light weight. I like the dual switches. The tac switch on the back is good for self defense and the button on the body is great for everyday tasks. Has become my go to light.

This is my favorite flashlight in my collection for sure well worth the price. Battery life seems to be just fine. Doesnt get insanely hot like it going to malfunction or something like a lot of reviews discuss what is happening is it made of a soft metal on top almost plastic like material and it feels hot to the touch, however this was me purposely trying to let it get hot to test it. I have yet to see it turn on automatically it has been doing exactly what it has been intended to do and nicely at that.

I am a flashlight collector, not sure why, maybe Im afraid of the dark. I own many lights and I always have one in my pocket. I insist on quality, and Surefire is one of the best, you will pay for this quality but its something I appreciate. This particular light, the Stiletto, is a favorite of mine due to its slim profile, this light slips easily into and out of my pocket. The USB rechargeable battery seems robust and seems to hold a charge for a very long time, and I like the protective cover over the charging port. Three light intensity settings make this a very versatile pocket light, and very powerful at the high setting. I love this light, but I must warn you of a relatively minor issue, this is why four stars instead of five. Occasionally, if there is too much stuff in my pocket, and space is cramped, the on/off switch can be depressed and the light will turn on in my pocket. If this light has room enough so that the switch will not be activated, and nothing pressing against it, you will be fine. I dont know how Surefire can fix this minor glitch, but I think they will figure it out. All things considered, this remains one of my favorite EDC lights.
