Been carrying a micro stream USB for several years now. Absolutely love it. For my use case, it’s a perfect EDC light.

Long time viewer here… I’ve never clicked on a new video so fast! I’ve been carrying the Microstream USB for about 2 years or so now. It goes totally unnoticed in my pocket. My day job is an I.T. Tech at a school system. I use the flashlight all the time, looking at network port numbers tucked behind desks, etc.

One thing worth noting on the Coyote color version of the Microstream USB is the mode is reversed. It starts out in bright mode, unlike the black, which starts out in low mode like you mention in the video.
Most of the time, high mode is too bright when looking behind desks and what not.
Camping or walking around my property after dark, high mode is perfect though.

I've been a pretty loyal Streamlight user for about 10 years now. I have had the MicroUSB for a while and don't think I could do without it at this point.

5000%! This just happened! Left it in My house pants accidentally. Got into the washer..we heard something metallic banging around! Got My light.. dissembled...let dry for almost 3 hrs... put it back together and... Light!!!! These are the Best! Now, I had a couple battery streams before I purchased the rechargeable.. which BTW was in2019!!! Seriously!! There may be other great lights... but for money, durability, performance, , lumens.. this is the Best!!! Thank You Streamlight!!!

As a loyal streamlighter for years I started at a new shop a few months ago and couldn’t believe how many people carry them here as well. Great lights but what I don’t think is mentioned enough is the cost. A baton olight is great too but if you lose it that ruins your day. A stream light is still a bummer but the price is a game changer.

I’ve carried the micro stream since 2013. I found one on the floor at Vanderbilt when my newborn daughter had open heart a few days after she was born. I’m on my second one now.

Holy shit a popular YouTube dude who isn't an olight shill

I've been carrying a Klarus E1 for a year. Absolutely the best for pocket carrying and for the money. Daily and Tactical mode with memory function and momentary mode in a 4" length and 1.000 lumens... Just awesome!

I've been carrying the micro stream for years. The versatility of it is awesome. Bulletproof construction you can drop it on concrete floors all day and sustain NO damage. I have bought a dozen or so over the years (not due to failure just because I keep them everywhere truck, pocket, safe, tool box, desk drawer) the tan colored micro USB starts in high mode (which I prefer) bottom line buy with confidence, and at the price point buy a few always good to have back ups and they make for great gifts

I went from a micro stream to the macro stream and have loved it. I don’t notice the extra bulk, but double the lumens is awesome. Not going back

Pretty much everything Streamlight makes it GTG, so can't fault you for liking the Macrostream. Had a Macrostream, liked it, but recently "upgraded" to an Olight Mini Warrior 2 as my EDC light. It has all the things I find important in an EDC light. It's rechargeable, bright as hell, has 2 activation buttons(which is great as I know how much light I'm going to get depending on which switch I use), and has pretty decent battery life. As long as it doesn't explode on me I feel that I've found a "keeper", so definitely a light you might want to check out.

This video convinced me to finally buy an EDC light. I carry a Streamlight Penlight for work and wanted something with more lumens for my daily carry and your video helped me land on the Macrostream. I ordered one today and I am pretty excited.

I bought the pen pro version about 3 years ago. It has been through the washing machine twice and ran over with a lawn mower. Still working. Love that thing.

[Meand]

I have 2 of the originals, 2 USB brown ones, and 1 macro-stream. I'd have to say the brown rechargeable 250 lumen tactical version is my favorite. I take it wherever I go.

I carry an original micro as a second utility light. It’s so original, it has a straight clip (not an s-clip). It gets used daily. I’m on my 3rd bulb and second tail cap. The light was worn to a polished silver until the click-cap section got replaced. Now it looks partly new and well worn. Customer service has been great. I’ve purchased several of these as gifts for friends. I have been eyeing the USB rechargeable version.

[ezmudder]

being able to use the light attached to your hat brim is key IMO. Totally agree with wanting to have the magnetic base for numerous reasons. I have still been rocking my tiny Olight keychain light. I have one on every keychain and have purchased them as gifts. Use them all the time!!

[colerhodes]

I have 3 Fenix flashlights. The e12 v2.0, the e28r and the Tk16 v 2.0, but I carry the e 12 the most, and after carrying it for about 5 months now, I absolutely cannot take it out of my edc. I still want to try Surefire and Streamlight as well but I’m going to give Fenix a couple years to show me what they’re all about. Nice vid💯💯

This style of review was really helpful. Thank you for the time you invested here.

[Tygur]

I have three Microstreams. Mainly because I have lost them, bought more then found the lost ones. Love them!

[notmillionaires]

I've had my streamight Micro USB in my pocket since they came out. It replaced my Stylus Pro Id had for years. Boba Fetting! Love it! Never heard that before. But ya. The patina on mine is beautiful. Looks loved and well used. Was thinking of getting the Macro. I'm very brand loyal. But ordered an Archer Pro to try because it looked like it was close to the Micro size. Though from videos I could be very wrong. Guessing I end up with a Macro in my pocket but we will see how it goes. Anyway love the channel and appreciate the content!
