After an introduction to a free Stinger Flashlight at work, and finding out Streamlight is well recognized by the police and fire companies. I thought it would be cool to add a review of a better flashlight to have in one’s pack. There was a time when it was Maglite I am aware – but is side by side tests there isn’t a good comparison as Stinger & Microstream is brighter, compared to the LED Maglite’s I own.
So today I wanted to review a 1 ounce Microstream by Streamlight I just picked up. The LED is 35 lumens and a run time at 2.25 hours. It features a sealed switch and 1 AAA battery included with the purchase. The sealed switch is momentary and if you push harder it will lock on. Too bright to look into it features C4 LED and that is brighter than most other LED flashlights. It also sports a lanyard and a special clip that runs in two directions – 1 for clipping on pockets and the same clip is rolled back for baseball caps. At one ounce on a dark path at night it really lights up the trail very well. So I am adding this to my ten essential bag for back up.
