Streamlight Microstream USB Reviews

streamlight usb Very handy and bright

The Streamlight Microstream USB is a rechargable flashlight only a bit larger than two traditional AA batteries but much handier and brighter. I was happy with a keychain flashlight for ready availability and direct personal use like a dark stairway but it was insufficient for real flashlight tasks like searching the yard for intruding animals upsetting the pets or for signaling. This light is still small enough to carry daily while bright enough for general use. This model comes on (default) with one click at a lower power for longer life but can be double-clicked on at full power (apparently an alternate model does the reverse).

Rechargeable is the only way to go..

Streamlight Microstream USB is an awesome little pen light. Bright, durable, well made and compact. Not sure if its 250 lumens bright, so hard to tell these days with high output lights being so prevalent, but its bright enough to light up any household or close quarter situation. I work in personal protection/security, and it’s my back up, shirt pocket light. Having gone through so many under powered, battery pen lights, and never being happy with them, I found a keeper.
In 6 months, I imagine Streamlight will have a 500 lumen pen light, but until then, this is it.

Little Light Big Performance

The Streamlight 66601 is the perfect pocket flashlight. This little puppy is very bright and lasts a long time on a charge. Not having to feed this a constant supply of AAA batteries is also a major plus.

Pleasantly surprised

I have been testing the streamlight microstream usb flashlight out over a month now. It holds a good charge, have not charged it once since I opened it out of its package. I use it every day at work, I am an electrician. Def the way to go if you wanna stop buying AA or AAA batteries.
