I have over 85 flashlights and have( 2 ) AAA Microstreams ! Still pocket carry them most of the time! Well made, reliable, simple, great little light!!!
instantly bought the streamlight. I think I will love it. Thanks mate! I love it when someone whos committed to special gear talks about his opinions and reccomends stuff he likes and uses! Cheers
how do you like it?
Microstream plus 10440 3v lithium, plus built in charging from a usb literally everywhere phone charger, plus a new 250 lumen high mode after the original 45lm mode.... equals PERFECTION OF AWESOME UTILITY AND BADASSERY!!!!!
Is there one available like this or do you have to solder it together yourself?
me sitting here waiting for you to talk about the rest of the flashlights lol
I had the small Streamlight and lost it -- just too small. Now I use the pen size Streamlight Pro and am happy with that.
I also have and love the microstream. It has similar wear on it, looks like it's been used and abused. Such a good light. Looks tacticool, is functional, budget friendly, small with deep pocket clip, and takes only 1xaaa.
I also have a protac 1xaaa, very techy and is brighter but doesnt carry as well as the microstream. Protac is now a benchwarmer.
Love it. I have the usb rechargeable version. Awesome pocket light. Anything with bigger diameter is too big in the pocket to me.
recommend the Fenix E12 for a non keychain light, similar size to your review, , AA battery, 3 useful settings of 8, 50, 130. recessed tap button, tail stand (to me a desired feature).
price around $27.
I use a 14500 battery for Fenix E12. This things puts out at least 300 lumens. Super bright!
Anker LC40 is only $13 and puts out 400 lumens, very highly rated. Puts the Fenix to shame, lol.
neil yes there are less expensive and brighter lights but recommend for average guy....
small pocket carry...
readily available to purchase at retail store (Fenix E12 is at several stores in our area (who carry the Anker at retail environment.
single common battery that can be purchased everywhere... triple AAA more expensive than single AA, the 18650 not available at local gas station, retail store.
Walmart has Bushnell lights that would qualify for above.
again average guy not a flashlight guy, easy local purchase of both light and single battery, your option would be???
Yogi Lilly Unless the guy is a complete idiot, the Anker is the choice... not many people exist that don't know how to use the internet in this age to buy things.
The olight s1r, it's even smaller than the streamlight, has 7 modes (including moonlight, strobe and 2 turbos) the pocket clip is light up so you can attatch it to a hat. The max output is 900 lumens. only downside, it's expensive.. but worth it.
btw, it's also rechargable, with an amazing charger. The rcr123r is included. oh and the throw is 142 meters.
Yes the sr1 is 1000x better than this 28 lumen clunker. The streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA is much better as well.
agree i dont need to light up a stadium just simple on/off
Beset tiny one with a clip i've found is the Thrunite Ti3. Great light. Has multiple brightness settings and strobe.
I agree with your recommendation. These lights are great for the avg person. Another would be attending maglight solitaire led..same lumens..good for a keychain
Love my microstream as well. I was a big fan of my Led Lenser P5.2 (brighter version of the P5), which I carried in a homemade pancake pvc sheath, which worked really well, but I lost it 2 weeks ago. Really sucks, but that means I'm only carrying the microstream now.
for a non flashlight person the thrunite t01 is keychain king to me. twist head operation though. olight i3e if they want colors. the ti3 isnt bad if they want multi modes.
the microstream is a great choice.
the thrunite ti5 actually doesnt suck as hard as i thought it would since they put a reverse clicky switch on it. the pocket clip sucks though so you might need to bend it to get tighter retention.
nice choice on the elzetta bravo. im running one on my ar as well.
i run a 10440 li ion 3.7v rechargeable in my microstream so its closer to 300 lumens but i cant use it for long periods as it gets hot super fast and i dont want to burn it out. its cool though!
the thrunite t10 or t10t isnt bad if they want a single aa light. output isnt stellar at 130 lumens.
i really like pen lights so id say the stylus pro is a decent choice as well. not sure if you could talk people into spending the money on a foursevens preon so the microstream and stylus pro are great starters

You sound like someone who would make good use out of a Lumintop Tool.
i had one but i put a 10440 in it and fried it lol
Look at a Lumintop Tool. It is very similar in size and function as the micro stream. Cost about the same too. Also has higher lumens with three intensity settings, the middle of which is almost identical to the micro stream . The durability of the Lumintop has so far been outstanding. The micro stream is always a great choice, though. Take care.
I also carry the first light you showed. It’s a great value.
I have a streamlight microstream andnabsolutely love it. I recently broke the hat clip so I just bought a streamlight protac 1l-1aa
1:43 "Jam in their pockets. Slam on a keychain." What a macho try-hard.
Plight S1r replaced my microstream and will for the foreseen future. It is an awesome light in every way but price, which is reasonable for what you are getting...
For the average person? Coast G20, you can get it at Walmart, it's ten bucks, takes easy to find batteries, and looks and works well.
Hi, i got an similar flashlight, i got it from turkey for €5 and it was a cheap led with an aaa battery. But the host was amazing and aluminum. And i made it watertight. Its now a 405nm laser which could be transfered to a normal flashlight in seconds, its powered by an ICR10280 3.7v battery, and has internal battery protection circuit in there. But the size is similar.
what is the brand and model? i live in turkey and looking for a edc flashlight
Good vid! Flashlights have become soooo complicated these days. I get gasps of amazement when I turn my teeny tiny Olight on but if someone want to borrow it for a minute or two, I just cringe as they will never figure out how to use it. For everyone else, simple is better I agree.
Maglite Solitaire LED! Probably the best, most compact, durable and well-made flashlight for under $20 on the market...Plus it's American made with a Lifetime warranty
Jordan Hardy though it is dim.
The led solitaire is not dim it’s extremely bright, inexpensive, high quality, and American made. Great suggestion.
I have a Coast HP1, takes a 14500 battery. Over 200 lumens, small footprint. Zoomable and only 10 dollars.
+Chris Gilliam hi. I use the nite core 14500 great battery. it stays cool as well. I got my hp1 on amazon for 9 bucks. so I bought 10 for family.
+Chris Gilliam cool.i have eneloop pro aa and aaa batteries. come fully charged and recharge very quick in my nite core charger.
playeroflife my old coast is so old it still says coast led lenser on it. Now their separate. It's well over 10 years old probably more around 14 years or so and it still works. It's not the brightest at only 40 lumen but back then people were still using big halogen lights like the maglights.
whatfreedom7 were they the same company? And split?
playeroflife I was told they split but I'm not sure if it was some collaboration project or if they really did split into two companies. They even have different websites now and most of their lights say either or now.
I didn't care for the Microstream. I gladly gave it away. After trying about 40 different flashlights, I found the Thrunite T10 NW to be the perfect EDC flashlight.
That reversible clip is awesome but $30 for only 250lm is not good value at all IMO. There are 1400lm lights at that price point that have all the features except that reversible clip.
Got lots of lights but I love my main buddy, Elzetta Bravo with switchback
I usually carry a Bushnell pro 50. I think they run about $20 at Walmart. It doesn't have the reverse clip but it does use one AAA battery, has a simple on/off tail switch. I use it every day.
i love the busnell pro series flashlights great options i have the 275 lumen light great when im at work durable and aforadable lights i aslo have the 600lumen pro light to very small and alota light
I like your pocket light I want a super bright light for self defense. I want a light that powers up full blast and I want it for the purpose of somebody looking at my hand to see what I have in it and they get blinded by the light preventing them the opportunity to acquire a target. If it has an hour run time I am fine with that I need it to work when I test it each day and that way I can have a weekly charge schedule.
Came across a contender ... 130 lumens, aluminum case, AA battery, can use 14500 or rechargeable NiMH, double clip for pocket or ball cap, under $20.
Additionally offers focus slide for narrow (spot) or wide (flood) beam, easily available purchase in store, buy today have today at both Walmart and Home Depot.
The Coast HX5... picked up (2), pleased with their performance....
other choice at more $$$$....
Fenix E12 $27-$28
Nitecore TIP $30, keychain
MecArmy SGN3, $40 keychain
Tank 007 E09 for the keyring or maybe with less power a Fenix E05, that's what you should carry.
Sir, respectfully, besides "window dressing", why did you not explain the other flashlights?
because its about the best light not why the others are not
What flashlight was sitting to the right of the tiny one?
i saw one of your custom sheath for the benchmade bushcrafter on Nathan4071's channel. i was wondering if i you could make the exact same sheath for me and how much would it cost me including shipping here in UAE.
That is the light I edc now. I will continue to carry it on me. but I want something Brighter for when shit goes down. I am thinking about the Streamlight ProTac 2L-X 500 lm. Thoughts?
I had a Surefire G2 and it is just too big
Marc H not sure what happened to your comment, wonder if you will even see this maybe your comment got marked as SPAM? I will take a look at the nitecore mh20gt
are you still making kydex? if so how can I get in touch to order?
How often would would you fine folks recommend changing the the batteries on a light in a car/truck bag.
Olight Penlight Torch i3T seems the same but brighter...
Question for the group. Streamlight now has a model called the 88049 ProTac. It looks to be the same size, has a bit more lumens without getting into nuclear blast levels of brightness, and it's a bit cheaper (around $30 rather than $40). Does anyone have hands on time with that model to recommend it?
Here is one you might wanna check out the bushnell 100lumen L
Try the Coast HX5. It also has a two way clip.
ThorFire TG06S similar size and hat clip
Hey man, really missing the videos where are you? I hope you come back...
Sorry for my absence been dealing with a lot of home repairs latley and working a lot to pay for those repairs. I will try to get some videos out soon.
Gear Nut Thanks Man hope your not having any troubles
its pretty gosh darn close hahahaha!!! i love it
check out the thorfire brand. lots of aa lights. budget friendly
Try a thrunite ti3
Thats a perety bad ass intro
Check out the coast hp7
They could have an Indiana Jones type satchel. Now you can have a larger flash light in your satchel and a smaller one in your pocket. Problem solved!!!!
why no ZEBRALIGHT? They demolish every light here for price and brightness! All they do is single cell lights. Single AA, C123, and 18650 lights of amazing quality and unbeatable brightness and versitility.
i like the 4th from the left.. and 4th from the left..
Just subscribed
i love my streamlight.
now $14
This dude slamming on flashlights and ripping it off their holsters, smashing the fucking on/off switch and when he's done he destroys the fuck out of it as he shoots it back into his holster that he blew up cash for it.
Wow.... replacing a throw away AAA battery is sooooooo
expensive.. damn it'll break my bank replacing a AAA battery versus a rechargeable damn I don't know if I can afford a nice flashlight because of the expense of AAA batteries.
🇵🇬🇵🇬
How many times are you going to smack your lips??!
