Description
The bigger, brawnier brother to the SureFire Stiletto, the Stiletto Pro is a high-output flashlight with a slim profile that fits comfortably in any pocket, and can be drawn and activated with ease. Optimized by SureFire’s proprietary MaxVision Beam reflector, the Stiletto Pro’s 1, 000 lumens of smooth, well-rounded light in high-output mode are easily accessed by the body’s primary switch or tactical tail switch, the latter also accessing an optional high-frequency strobe that is useful for blinding an attacker. Like the Stiletto, the Stiletto Pro also features a 300-lumen medium output and a 25-lumen low output, giving it the versatility to handle a wide variety of tasks, and the primary switch can be programmed to reverse the activation sequence. A rechargeable lithium polymer battery and included MICROUSB cable charger make it easy to keep the Stiletto Pro powered up, and its Melonite-coated, reversible heavy-duty spring steel pocket clip keeps the light secure and accessible whether you prefer to store it with the bezel up or down. Machined from Mil-Spec hard-anodized aluminum for tremendous durability, the SureFire Stiletto Pro is one tough, pint-sized powerhouse.

Sweet lightSo I’m kind of a flashlight freak. That and tape measures I feel like I have to buy all the time. This light is awesome and really unique. First off it is super bright on the max setting which is 3 presses of the button. The thing that makes it so much more different is it throws light really wide quickly. It lights a room up in well rather than a super long beam. Great for inside or close quarters. It does get SUPER HOT. Like after 10 seconds of being on you can’t hold your hand in front of the light. So maybe not a good light for kids to handle but a great addition to the collection. Haven’t done any of the program things because I don’t want to read instructions.

Durable, Utterly Reliable. Intuitive On-Off System.I keep this light in my pocket and have been using it multiple times a day, for 20 months now. At night, when walking my dog, and bagging his poo, I keep it clipped to my baseball cap. The clip is durable enough for use on a belt. This light has been dropped on concrete, used in every kind of weather and never failed to work. Battery life has been more than adequate.I have found the three light levels to be useful and convenient. In an emergency the highest setting is bright enough to temporarily blind an attacker.Because there are two, side-by-side buttons, It takes a little familiarity to always choose the right one. Beyond that, the on-off and light level adjustment button is probably the most intuitive in the industry. No long presses or other unexpected complications …. Nothing to learn. It just works as one would expect.For me, this light has been well worth the money.

Another Great Light from SureFireI like the physical profile of this light and the fact that it is rechargeable. This light will be used while visiting relatively remote areas around the world where power is available for recharging if necessary. This will be part of my GORUCK ready bag.

One of my favorite lightsReally bright and the shape makes it easy to store in the spot I wanted it for in my RAM truck dash area. I like the button programming also for both buttons

Best EDC lightI’ve been carrying this surefire stiletto pro every day for 2 years and can’t imagine not having it. There is nothing to dislike about this light, it’s bright, small, rechargeable and carries in your pocket so nice you won’t even know it’s there! I actually lost my original one because I misplaced it and ordered another one the next day, I ended up finding my original one and that’s the one i still carry. I work 3rd shift and use this light multiple times a night.

A car headlight in your pocketSurefire has always made excellent, durable products that are at times a little on the pricey side.I wanted a new pocket flashlight to replace my 300 lumen Surefire Sidekick I’ve been carrying in my pocket for years. It was compact and powerful but could get hot after a few minutes of use.The Sidekick performed well but the Stiletto Pro model can pump out 1000 lumens which was unthinkable for something this size a few years ago. It also fits easily into my pocket (is slim, about the size of a Leatherman multitool but thinner and shorter) and shares space with keys, small multi tool, and other EDC items. Having a pocket organizer keeps things organized and in easy reach.My use case is security and situational awareness at night time. While out in the dark (trick or treating, running, hiking), a flashlight is your best friend that can help you with the mundane (crossing city streets at night on foot and not getting run over by cars); and the more exciting wildlife encounters (saved me from an overly enthusiastic critter while out running). In the safety/defense use case, it also has a built in emergency strobe mode to scare off critters and give human attackers a good Pokémon seizure.Operationally, the light mode activation sequence can be programmed to start with High (1000 lumens) -> Medium (300) -> Low (25). There is a rear tactical switch to quickly activate the emergency strobe as well as additional features for button lockout. My original worries about accidentally switching it on in my pocket were unfounded as Surefire has engineered the switches with a higher activation pressure threshold.Another problem with flashlights of this illumination (power) class is heat dissipation. The sidekick would get quite hot after a few minutes of runtime in high mode. Have also purchased an older Guardian (800 lumens) that offers similar high power illumination but runs so hot that it burns your hand.The body of the Pro model is also machined from aluminum which seems to dissipate heat better. Having only acquired it recently and test run it for 5 minutes continuously, it appears to dissipate heat well (no burns yet).Overall, the Stiletto Pro meets all my humble functional requirements and I highly recommend it.

Don’t buy into negative reviews, this is game-changing.I went into this SKEPTICAL, I admit. Mostly due to negative reviews about heat, bad battery life, etc.But let me tell you, I am glad I took the risk.This thing is rock solid, built like an absolute tank. The weight isn’t soo much that I’d call it “overkill” but it’s definitely satisfying, and feels quality without question. The swappable pocket clip carries deep, and has great retention. The light has yet to get concerningly hot, or even uncomfortably warm after a few 30-60 minute runs. Also, the buttons are REALLY nice, not mushy or soft (I was concerned about in-pocket activation due to a review), but this takes an intentional strong press to activate which it responds to with a crips “click” sound and feel, no worries at all of it going off in my pocket given the weight of the button press, and the fact that it’s recessed in the housing just adds to the safety (unless you wear the tightest skinny jeans made, or maybe received a defective unit).The lumen output exceeded my expectations (its rated at 1,000 but is brighter than EVERY other light I own at the 1,000 setting), which I assume to be a classic surefire move of UNDER selling their brightness to be conservative, rather than stretching the truth. I appreciate this more than expected. I also found the interface to be very easy to use, and the lockout simple yet effective.The beam pattern is crisp and clean, small spill, but very focused. The battery life has been as-advertised for me thus far, and something I have no complaints about.I really went into this cautiously, but immediately fell in love. Surefire has been consistently worth the $ in my experiences.11/10, get one!like it soo much I’m considering the lower-end Stiletto Standard as a “travel light” given the lower cost and reduced weight.
