Review: Streamlight MicroStream LED

[bwframe]

I've thought about doing this as well.

I tested the brightness on Soundslikejosh yesterday in the day light.
From contact range, the light is bright enough to blind an attacker to the surroundings, thus leaving them open to CNS strikes.

My wife used to give me grief over carrying this little guy with me everywhere, clipped nicely next to my Endura. Then one night a headlight went out in our car. I had a spare with me, but there wasn't much ambient light around to see what I was doing under the hood. In comes the Microstream. After installing the light I got back in the car and gave her that "told you so" grin. I haven't heard much about it since.

I have had one on my Amazon wishlist for a while now, but no one has ordered it for me yet hahah

Amazon.com: Zac Jackson: Wish List

I might have to actually order one, I find my self needing a small flashilight pretty often (punching down cables in cramped and dark cabinets )

People who tease us about our lights and our knives are often the first to ask to borrow a light or a knife when they need one. I'm generous the first time, but if the teasing continues after helping them, the repeat performance isn't always to their liking.

Well guys you sold me on this. Think I will order one for me as my fathers day gift. Maybe one for the wife as well.

+1 Streamlight, Great products.

Streamlight's products have been first rate for their value in my experience. I started with their stylus line, which were great and about the same size as a bic pen, but proved unreliable and had a short life span when used hard everyday. Their AAAA batteries also were difficult to find and pricey when you finally found them. Then I purchased their rechargeable Stinger xenon, still have it on the side of my toolbox, has been 100% reliable with hard use and I've owned it for 4+ years now.

That prompted me to buy the smaller rechargeable xenon light, the Strion. It is my primary garage flashlight, and has been great also. The tool trucks all honor their lifetime warranties, so replacements or replacement parts aren't an issue. I've managed to destroy my fair share of Stylus Pros, the larger version with 2 AAA's rated at 24 lumens. They have been outstanding, the failure point I have experienced with the 5-6 I have had replaced at no charge under their warranty has been the tailcap switch. Still, they are an unbeatable value and perform like the first-rate product they are. I highly recommend them, I carry a Stylus Pro in my shirt pocket everyday to work, and keep another in my car.

Great write-up Evan, are you collecting a healthy commission from Streamlight for all of the lights you have helped sell?
