Review on πŸ”¦ Review of Streamlight 66608 MicroStream USB Rechargeable Pocket Flashlight: 250 Lumens, Coyote by Alex Rea

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love that flashlight thing

I like to research products before spending my hard earned money on them. This is the second time I've bought this handy little flashlight because I lost the first one while walking my dog (I think). Based on my needs and budget this flashlight (especially the coyote color as it is functional) is perfect. I haven't found a better small rear derailleur rechargeable flashlight in this price range for its characteristics (lumens, deep pocket clip, size/circumference). All Microstreams have two modes, low and high, in that order. , except for the Coyote model, which is high/low. Getting low can be more difficult than other brands (e.g. double tapping a switch), you need to work on technique but it is doable. The battery is charged in the light; Unlike some that require you to remove the battery to connect the cable. I also have a small Olight but I keep it in the truck. They're good, but more expensive, and I couldn't find a device better than this Streamlight Microstream with the features I want, although I really like the Olight's MAGNETIC charging capability. You can probably find it cheaper (just a few dollars). in the other place. I got my first from OpticsPlanet but I think it was on sale for $26; They currently cost $30 (as of March 30, 2019).
