Flashlight Great Streamlight

Before I start, I should mention that I originally ordered the black version of this Microstream USB flashlight, but it came in an odd white box. This red version came in the correct Streamlight packaging. This is an excellent flashlight. It has two lighting levels: low and high. The first has 50 lumens, the second 250 lumens. Both levels are good and bright. In my opinion it is very easy to get to the high beam. To do this, simply press briefly (don't press all the way down until you click) and you'll get to 50 lumens, release gently and then immediately press again for a moment and you'll get 250 lumens. If you want to stay straight, press all the way down until it clicks. The button is difficult to press. I made it easy by adding 2-3 index cards under the cover of the button that unscrews. Much better than this one. This light is better than the two Olights i3t and i5t I have tried before in my opinion. Brighter, lasts longer on high settings, durable and rechargeable. It doesn't get very hot or warm up in the short time I've been using it, unlike the i3t, for example. I also have a 45 lumen Streamlight AAA Microstream and 2 100 lumen AAA Microstream styluses. They're both good, have their place, and last a long time, but the Microstream USB puts them both to shame. As well as this red version, which comes in proper Streamlight packaging, the red also looks and feels nice. It's very smooth and easier to see than black. It also seems to work better with consistent correct mode changes and no flickering.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
