Stiletto Pocket Light

I’ve owned plenty of flashlights over the years, but this Stiletto Pocket Light from SureFire is next level. Fits perfectly in my pocket, but don’t let the size fool you—this thing is bright. I like the dual-output feature, so I can switch from a low beam for up-close work to a high beam that lights up the whole yard. The build quality? Solid as a rock. It’s lightweight but feels tough enough to handle anything. Battery life is impressive, too—I’ve gone days without needing to charge it. If you need a reliable flashlight for work, home, or outdoor adventures, this is the one to get.

This has a solid place in my EDC (everyday carry). I love this flashlight. No batteries to worry about. The built in lipo has great life. I use my light a lot. Not for long periods of time usually but for inspections, looking under the fridge for a lego, checking for burr during sharpening, etc... I hunted for a light with a good pocket clip for months. These typical bulky, round lights that hold an 18650 batteries or AAA have garbage pocket clips. The round shape to them is very unnatural and uncomfortable in the pocket. This seems nit picky when you haven’t carried the Stiletto. I had grown comfortable to these bulky, round lights because I hadn’t had anything else. After I broke another Nitecore, I had to hunt down a USA manufactured flashlight that changed the game for me. I didn’t want the same name everyone has but this is their house. Surefire just makes good stuff. It’s a name I was made familiar with during my time in the military. Literally, everyone in the military carries or has carried Surefire something. The idea of having something made in the USA with a massive manufacturing backing from a company that stands behind its military and law enforcement personnel brings a lot of pride and faith in the product. The form factor of this light is remarkable. It fits my pocket almost as good as it fits my hand. It’s extremely ergonomic in both. The pocket clip is tough as nails. I prefer a very tight pocket clip so I removed the clip, bent it a little more and reinstalled it for that super tight clip. I’ve been carrying this light EVERY SINGLE DAY. It’s fallen 2 stories now twice, been run over once and keeps coming back for more. I’ve only charged it twice since I bought it, amazingly. I don’t always use the max output though. When I do, it’s by the “tailcap”. Temporary light for a quick scan. Strobe to disorient the kids long enough for me to grab the last piece of pizza and get out of there! But low is my most used setting. Something that doesn’t blind you, doesn’t create a bright reflection. The user interface is so simple. Off the tail, it’s all temporary. Apply pressure, light turns on. Remove pressure, light turns off. It’s max lumens. Three quick taps and you go into strobe. Same technique as before. On the main panel, usb charging plug at the bottom with a waterproof rubber gasket. Above those, to the left is your mode button and to the right is the light activation. The body is a tough plastic of some sort and an aluminum head. After a few minutes on high, the aluminum can get very hot but they’ve put that warning on there so you don’t forget. It’s got decent throw and a wide, hard wall like we’re used to with Surefire lights. My only gripe is every once in awhile I’ll find the light is on in my pocket. But with its battery life, it doesn’t concern me. It uses the same micro USB that all of you android users are used to. I love this light. It’s a gem. If I manage to break it one day, at $100 I’ll buy two to replace it.

I like flashlights a lot. I own many. I like the rechargeable nature of this light. It has a tactical button on the tail end and a regular on button on the front. The brightest setting is very nice. Not too bright but bright enough. It is slender which is great for carrying in your pocket. I don't use the pocket clip but it has a sturdy one.

I have an addiction. I'm a light junkie, and I'm constantly searching for the next best thing out there. I have included a light as an edc item for a long time, and I'm amazed at how often I need one. So I saw this one reviewed in a gun magazine a while back and decided to try it. So far for me this has been the best edc light I have ever owned! It's perfect pocket sized. The first time I saw the tiny lense I was a bit disappointed. I figured there was no way something as small as this could put out a lot of light or good quality light. Wrong on both accounts. The 650 lumen setting is nice and bright, has great coverage, and has full coverage every where it's pointed. The are no dark spots in the middle or anything. It's awesome! The fact that it's rechargeable and that it is fully programmable just add to its appeal. I like that it has three settings, and the strobe feature could come in handy as a non lethal deterrent in a bad situation. Nothing is perfect, so there is one thing I would like to see changed. The pocket clip angles the light so that it faces up. I personally would rather it was pointed down in my pocket, just so that it doesn't get scratched up, and so that it doesn't blind me should I accidentally lean against something that presses the on switch. This isn't a deal breaker or even a big deal. Just personal preference is all. I'm going to be buying more of these for my girls and my wife when I can. The price tag is a bit steep. For a quality light like this it is worth every penny. The best lights I own and use have been surefires. This one lives up to what I have come to expect from these guys.

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 don't use that button - it's 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. It's my favorite everyday carry light, and rechargeable means no batteries to replace!

This is a great EDC light, super light weight, customizable, and very bright. However, the burn time for the high brightness is quite short, but this is expected. You can use this light in a pinch during the night, but it will die quickly, even on medium brightness. The main issue for me is the weak frame. I've been through some tough hikes, and one day I noticed the plastic frame is cracking along the widest edge (IE next to the buttons). The light still works fine, and there is no wobble in the frame, but the crack is growing and I wonder if it will start leaking water or bend. Generally, I would still recommend this light for EDC use.

I own a few different edc style flashlights but this is by far my favorite. The ergonomics are great and the thin design makes it much easier to pocket carry everyday when compared to traditional flashlight designs. My only suggestion is for surefire to come up with a clip that allows for a deeper pocket carry. When using the pocket clip the bezel sticks out of your pocket quite noticeably. As far as brightness is concerned, it's more than adequate for a pocket light. The low setting is great for seeing around the house late at night without blinding yourself and the middle and high settings are very bright. The buttons are programmable but the way they came from the factory I have found preferable. The USB recharge feature is easy to use, recharges fast and holds a charge for quite a while. This also makes a great backup flashlight for police officers. If you do carry it loose in your pocket, try not to carry any other solid items in the same pocket as I did have the light turn on in my pocket and only noticed it after the metal got warm. All in all, would 100% recommend. I've had it on my person almost all the time since it arrived. One of my favorite edc items!

Terrific tool. Bright, rechargeable, selectable, and durable. Small enough to fit in the coin pocket of your jeans, or you can clip to a belt. Clip is facing “the correct way” so you can clip to the bill of your cap if need be. The three brightness settings are great, and the “full blast” setting will stun or blind people—Day or night. The strobe works very well too. This is now my EDC light and is a great deal for the price.
