66320 MacroStream 500-Lumen 2,000-Candela Flashlight, Black

Update: Still feel the same way about a micro USB but if you think the thing is broken when you get it (I did) it's because you haven't figure it out. Tap the light (don't push) and it comes on bright. While holding it at that brightness, tap again and It will go to low power. When you have one or the other showing, press firmly and that's the light you will get. I had no clue what I was doing and came within a breath of sending it back. I apologize to the store and the manufacturer for being clueless. Updating to 5 stars. The bright is very bright the low power works well in low light. This day and age, I "Assumed" that it would be the, now, standard USB C. It actually micro usb! Go figure. I am half way tempted to return the thing because of this. I now have to dig into my old junk drawer to find a micro usb. Oh it is one good flash light. Just this old technology, for something this expensive, disappoints. The fact that it states it is a micro usb is besides the point. That info was buried. And I could have asked does it have X-Ray capabilities, but I KNEW IT DIDN'T. This day and age one should be able to just know it is now the current standard. Update: Dropped from 4 to 2 stars. When it started it had a low power and high. Now it only has high and that is sometimes. If the barrel gets turned, it will light at a press but won't stay on. If you turn the barrel, it will now stay on but only high power. The "barrel" I refer to is the "sleeve" that you push up to reveal the micro usb. What that has to do with it, I have no clue. Double press only turns high power on quickly. Certainly not worthy of the EDC tag.

I have the original Streamlight Microstream that uses a single AAA battery and have been using it for years, with rechargeable AAA batteries. I was tempted to get the newest version that has a built-in rechargeable battery and micro USB port for charging but the only downside of the Microstream is its fairly short run time due to its small size. More times than not when I went to use it it would run out of power right in the middle of whatever I was doing. But then I saw the newer Macrostream and knew it would be the perfect replacement because it's only slightly larger and has considerably longer run time, and has the built-in micro USB charging port. I noticed some people complaining that it didn't have a USB type C charging port and I get it, but I don't think it's worth taking a star off just for that. It's nice that it's brighter but I wasn't really concerned about the light output since most uses for a flashlight around the house doesn't require anything super bright, just bright enough to see what you are doing, I was more interested in increased run time. I purchased some Streamlight headlamps in the past and was disappointed that the actual run time was much shorter than what was advertised. So I was pleasantly surprised when the run time on low for the Macrostream ended up being about 8 1/2 hours when I tested it and they claim 8 hours so nice work there. It has the typical solid build quality that I've come to expect from Streamlight and love the pocket clip that allows me to use it as a headlamp with a baseball cap, that has come in handy many times when it was much more convenient to have a hands-free light pointing right where I needed it. So even though the Microstream is smaller, this is still plenty compact and with its longer run time, to me it's the perfect everyday carry (EDC) flashlight for use in and around the house.

This light is so nice and bright, easy to carry in your pocket, last a very long time. I take my Golden out for walks at night and this little light is so light and fits in your hand easy not bulky and the battery life is great. All my other lights have to many options such as flash and code flash before they even turn off. This one is perfect off and on. I have yet to have it go dead yet. We are usually out for well over an hour and this light just keeps shining. The dim option is great for when you don't want the real bright light plus it saves battery life when its on dim. Push on, double push dim and push off. Simple and light plus very tough! My son uses this for his work and always has it in his pocket. I used it a few times and loved it so much he got me one as a gift and it truly is a great light. Fantastic light from a great company that has been around for years. Streamlight is the best. I still have the original Streamlight pen light from years ago that takes AAAA batteries it just keeps working year after year. Keep lighting the world Streamlight!

Very compact pocket flashlight and very bright in high setting. The light charges quicky with the included micro USB. I popped off the pocket clip while doing yard work. The light remained in my pocket but the clip was gone. A simple email to Service at Streamlight and a new clip arrived in the mail within a week -- no charge! Great Streamlight customer support. After using the flashlight for several months I ran the flashlight through the washing machine and it no longer works. I bought a second one, and exchanged batteries. The issue is with the "washed battery. The old light works fine with a new battery, but Amazon doesn't sell it. In fact the Amazon description and specs for the Streamlight Macrostream specifically states that the light utilizes a single CR123 lithium battery. This is flat out INCORRECT. The macrosteam is shipped with and requires a replacement Streamlight product number 66321 lithium battery. It would be nice if Amazon or the Vendor would correct this error and also stock the correct battery for replacement or backup. If someone at Amazon actually reads this, I'd appreciate a follow-up! This is the second review a year and a half after my first review. Apparently Amazon nor the vendor reads the reviews or makes any effort to correct erroneous information about replacement battery.

First I have to say I LOVE, LOVE this flashlight... so much so that I've bought an embarrassing 6 in the last 8 years. First the Pros: - It's very strong and solid. The case takes a lot of beating - The one press (painfully bright), 2nd press (moderately bright) feature has been all I need - The clip is actually useful, I carry one in my pocket clipped to the pocket top wherever I go. Now the Cons: - The main reason I've had to replace so many times is the fact it just stops working. When this happens, it flickers heavily. Occasionally taking out the battery and 're-seating' it helps, as does looking for or cleaning off any corrosion on the contacts. At other times it stops completely, possibly the emitter - This morning I felt something odd in my pocket. When I reached and felt the flashlight it was EXTREMELY hot. I've heard about thermal runaway but hadn't experienced it - this was disturbing. I ran it outside and unscrewed the case, taking the battery out; it's since cooled. Can I trust this thing again? The price has come down nicely, I wish I could trust another type/ brand/ manufacturer but I've gone down that road and most are really cheap in materials, construction, etc. So yea, I'd recommend it, but with caveats

I SERIOUSLY dislike leaving reviews such as this especially for a product like THIS! I have always sworn by streamlite and will never buy anything else but streamlite but, when my battery dies in such a way that it cannot even recharge itself and it's only ONE MONTH pass the return deadline I'm not happy. Now I've got two choices, buy another, hope it works and send to bogus one back in a dishonest switch-around and take a full on strike against my personal integrity and honesty OR I see how it goes from here by posting my situation as such in order to see what streamlite themselves will do to an ardent customer of their serious quality products and I mean do mean that but just not with this one and I'm certain this situation is to be blamed on streamlite themselves but rather a stocked for too long product and a periodic battery that just wants to not wanna work after hardly 10 hours of use. I love the difference in lumens this light has but it's a little bulky having it hang from my T shirt or wife beater but great to have in my bag and CERTAINLY useful to have when my other two 250 lumen micro steam lights are either on charge or being toyed with by my kids. I doubt this review will remain 1 star for long because streamlite is just that good and I know it so let's see if any of those other negative reviews have any merit to them because, I'm not sure.

I've only had it for a few days, so the durability can't be assessed. It's a nice bright light for its size with a reasonable run time between charges.

The form factor of this light is perfect for my medium sized man hands. The button has the perfect firmness for momentary on function, but also soft enough that once you've had the light on, you can press the button further until it clicks and stays fully on. The programming on my model was designed for the light to come on at full power first, then a quick second tap will activate the lower output mode. Subsequent quick taps after the first one will result in all low power mode outputs. If you want full power momentary on, you'll have to practice with the light and get used to the timing of how to half press the button so you get full power on each activation. The clip works well as both a pocket clip, a well as a clip to clip onto something like a baseball cap or a trucker cap, both on the bill or on the side. I prefer clipping it on the side of my cap as I can angle it better, as well as keeping my hat from tipping forward from the weight of the light being all the way forward on the cap. I've dropped the light onto concrete flooring at work a few times and so far, I have not noticed any damages that have made the light malfunction. Run time on the light is good, but when it is low on power, it's easy to pull the bezel forward to expose the charging port and charging the battery. Overall very happy with the light's form factor and light output, construction of the light, and bang for the buck.

The first output level is supposed to be 500 lumens. But this is what happened: 1. First click after leaving off for awhile - low 2. Off 3. Click again - high --> low cycle 4. Off 5. Subsequent clicks - high -> low cycle 6. Off and wait a few minutes 7. Click and starts on low instead of high So after leaving it off for awhile, it starts on low instead of high.

Gran producto! Compacto y muy brillante. La uso todos los días, estoy muy satisfecho con el producto.

قريت التعليقات السلبية و كادت انها تخليني اكنسل الشراء، موضوع ال “flickering” و موضوع ضعف البطارية و غيره.. للامانه لي اسبوع استخدمها من وقت استلامها، الكشاف جودة خاماته عالية جدا، ما علق ولا شفت مشاكل لحد الان. اذا صار اي مشكله او اي شي سلبي، راح احدث نفس التعليق هذا.

Produto original e dispensa comentários. Tenho uma Streamlight TLR-1s há quase 10 anos e nunca me apresentou problemas. Qualidade e durabilidade. Entregue antes do prazo e sem problemas. Recomendo o vendedor.

Lampan kan bara använda Streamlights egna specialbatterier, inga andra batterier. Hade jag vetat det innan så hade jag inte köpt lampan. Det är riktigt dåligt.
