The Perfect EDC light? | Streamlight Micro – Macrostream

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.

I like my TiNi 2 nitecore. Super tiny 500 lumen max, rechargeable, and goes on the keychain.

I absolutely love my micro USB. I’ll be grabbing a macro soon hopefully.

Have been preaching this for years! But everyone wants to rock a poop stiletto for some reason.

Nice Talon

The UsB micro The different colors operate differently. My desert tan is high on first click and then low on double click.

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’d love to see a USB C version or a nice single CR123a light

All are excellent lights IMO. The Macro is my go to though. Love the size for 500 lumens.

Still running your rechargeable battery in your Micro stream? 🤙🏼

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

Would the wash machine waist the USB, or will it hold up to water?

Great video Talon! Unfortunately, ever since you released your video reviews about Olight weapon lights I've been hooked on their products for the last 3 years. Olight has been part of my everyday EDC.
Keep up the great work and stay safe!

"Olight you know, if you know you know" what did you mean by this? 🤔

Sitting on your hat?

This is the first time I got a notification for your videos in over a year.👍

I have the Microstream USB in coyote. It's the perfect carry light for me in it's size and, most importantly, the high-first as default. The normal Microstream USB doesn't do this and I can't stand that. I have the Macrostream USB too but it's just too big for EDC. I carry a super-slim benchmade knife in the same pocket and to have a beefy light like to the Macro defeats the purpose of carrying such a slim knife.

I use the light on my phone 📱

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

Dad?

This video really lit up my day.

The black and colored microstreams are low first then high, the coyote version 66608 is high then low. Not sure if there is something like that on the macrostream also. I used a micro for a while, till I found the Streamlight wedge, it was the perfect balance for me, just wish it had the double sided pocket clip.
