Streamlight MicroStream Ultra-compact Aluminum body with AAA alkaline battery, 3.5 Inch - 1.04 oz - 45 Lumens - 66318, Black

I liked the brightness and how it was small and compact.

I recently purchased a Olight I3T EOS and wrote a review complaining that the duel light mode was a little finicky and because the lower the battery was the lower the light output was I sometimes had trouble with knowing if I was failing at getting the high mode or if my battery was low. Also the battery life on high mode was terrible. And my suggestion was just have one middle mode since low mode on the Olight at 5 lumens was nearly useless and high-mode was too much of a battery hog. Anyways, long story short Amazon advertised this shortly after and it delivers exactly what I asked for in my review. 45 lumens isnt enough to light up things when there is a decent amount of ambient light its plenty to see above a drop ceiling, in an attic, or at night. And for a single AAA battery it last long enough where I dont have to think about using it only when needed lest I run out of battery. Good stuff, would buy again.

Works as intended

The light is great for my needs, only negative was the clip was pretty flimsy.

5/5 stars for a great product. The MicroStream is an impressively bright miniature flashlight, and I discovered firsthand that its tough enough to take a real beating. It is as narrow as a tube of chapstick and ~2 cm longer. Included in the package was a genuine Energizer battery, a breakaway lanyard, and an extra rubber pushbutton. Im liable to lose the extra pushbutton before I need it, but its inclusion tells me that this is a product made to endure. Speaking of which, my Microstream recently survived a 30+ foot fall onto solid rock (climbing related mishap - forgot I had left the flashlight in my pocket the previous evening) and sustained only minor cosmetic damage. The battery inside of the flashlight actually malfunctioned due to the force of the impact, but the light itself was unharmed! Impressive, to say the least. I cant comment on battery runtime yet, but after nearly 2 hours of use with the original battery there was no noticeable dimming. All-in-all, the MicroStream is an extremely well-engineered piece of equipment that, while inexpensive enough to knock around without remorse, is also resilient and bright enough to rely on when you need it most. If you EVER find yourself in dark places then you need one of these! ____________________ Pros: phenomenal light output well rounded light spectrum compact - any smaller and you couldnt hold it effectively (very, very) impact resistant relatively inexpensive 1xAAA pocket clip strikes good balance between ease of use and security Cons: easy to misplace/forget due to size beam and brightness are not adjustable Unsure: battery life? (I cant give a typical runtime yet, but it seems good so far: nearly 2 hours from one AAA without noticeable dimming) waterproof? (appears well sealed, but I definitely havent tested this out)

I have used the flashlight for months and have been satisfied with the brightness and battery life. Have not had to test the waterproofness. It is a very good small flashlight.

Why do I choose 5 stars? I have had a lot of terrible luck with flashlights as they are so dull I can hardly see anything (let alone far away) so I decided to invest in what I thought would be good quality flashlights (rather than what others THOUGHT were) and I have not been disappointed. The best part is this is almost too bright! What to do? And also something I like... Press once and hold for as long as you want the light or press all the way down until you hear and/or feel the click and you have a steady stream of light. The flashlight is little, but it packs a punch bigger than any big flashlight I have ever had. You can slip this into your pocket or use the high quality nylon holster that attaches to your belt. This is for ANYONE who wants a bright flashlight: You will not be disappointed if you are wanting a bright flashlight where you can look around your home for danger, look under your car, under your couch for that missing rawhide your dog lost, or just want to tease your dog or cat with the light then this is your light! I live alone and was nervous as I cannot see the entire yard with my high quality work flashlights and I get really scared when I cannot see more than 2 feet as I have had many stalkers. These streamlights will do the trick as they are really bright and you can toss them in your purse or place them in your pocket. I have this one ( Streamlight 66318 MicroStream C4 LED Pen Flashlight), the Streamlight 88032 Protac Tactical Flashlight 1AA with White LED, Black, and the Streamlight 88033 Protac Tactical Flashlight 2AA with White LED. I do not regret my purchase in the least. Do yourself a favor and get a good quality flashlight. What did I dislike about the flashlight? It is too bright as I shined it on some numbers at the back of the TV and I had to point the to not be directly on it. I am not disappointed about this being too bright as I do not have to shine it directly on what I want to see and the brightness is there when I do need it.

I keep this light in my tech pouch with chargers, cables, and external hard drives. The light seems to be of good quality, no complaints so far.

Pros: Very lightweight, very small, and very practical. Cons: None from what I can see. Thoughts: This is my first time investing and looking into carrying a small every day care light. Because of that, I do not have much to compare it to besides an iphone light. With that said, however, I still enjoy using this light 100x over my iphone light. The first day I got it, I was using it on a baseball cap as a headlight to install a light fixture on the ceiling, which freed up my hands to do the work I needed. I carry it on my personnel daily, and dont even notice in my pocket. Even in gym shorts, there is no weight pulling my shorts down. Because of that, I will always have it on me, and use it as needed. The stream of light is strong, do not make the mistake of pointing it in someones eye and flashing them, because they will be stunned for a moment. This can be an obviously good thing if you were started un expectantly and shine this in someones face, in self defense. I use this while grilling at night, walking my dog at night, and looking into small crevasses to retrieve dropped/lost items. What I enjoy most is that it is so damn light, there is no reason NOT to carry this item on me. Because of that, I give it five stars, and highly recommend it. Update 2019: love this thing. Use it at work all the time. So small and compact I often forget it’s in my pocket. But I have to be extra careful with it in my pant pockets. Bc I forget about it I may sometimes brush against the door panels and scratch my paint. Still love it, 10/10 perfect for EDC at work, home, and mischief.

Ehhh... its an LED flashlight. Could be brighter but then it would be more expensive. But, its sturdily constructed, water resistant, very light weight, and has a 2-mode switch (momentary/permanent on). The hat clip sold me on it though overall, that was my biggest requirement. It fits nicely in a pen pocket in the admin section of my tactical backpack, and comes with a short lanyard as well.
