About Streamlight 66609 MicroStream 250-Lumen EDC Ultra-Compact Flashlight
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
65% appreciated its adjustable beam focus, although 35% found it limited
I appreciate the ultra-compact and adjustable design of the MicroStream flashlight, which easily fits in my palm or pocket without adding bulk or weight.
The focusing lens/adjustment barely makes a difference.
I have to push hard on the button to turn on or change settings, indicating that the adjustability of the handheld flashlight is not user-friendly.
71% appreciated its long-lasting battery life, but 29% experienced quick drainage
I like the flashlight for its good light output and decent battery life.
I haven't used the product long enough to comment on its battery life, durability, or charging. Assuming there are no further updates, the product should be fine.
My flashlight died after less than a month of careful use. It would flicker and could not hold a constant beam.
70% were satisfied with its brightness, while 30% found it dim
The light is great - bright and rechargeable via USB. However, the pocket clip is useless.
71% praised for its rugged construction, but 29% experienced durability issues
I appreciate the durability of the MicroStream flashlight, especially the impact-resistant and waterproof anodized aluminum housing, which ensures reliable functioning in any situation.
I found the product to be not durable as it stopped working after a few days of careful use.
The product is not reliable as the light flickers and surges brighter to dimmer. I would not recommend it based on that fact alone.
67% liked its comfortable grip and handling, though 33% found it awkward
The flashlight is compact and easy to carry, measuring just over 3 inches in length and weighing only 1.2 ounces, making it easy to fit in my palm or slip into my pocket or bag without adding bulk or weight.
I noticed that the switch button requires excessive force to click. I also compared it with Olight I3T which has a much more ergonomic button.
The switch button requires excessive force to click compared to the more ergonomic button on the Olight I3T, I noticed.
66% liked the intuitive switch and interface, but 34% found it confusing
The switch button requires excessive force to click. Comparing it with Olight I3T, its button is much more ergonomic.
I found the switch unacceptable as it required excessive pressure to activate.
For all colors except coyote, I need to double click to turn it on high after it turns on low first.
73% appreciated its water and shock resistance, but 27% experienced issues
I have had issues with the button of the flashlight. I assume it's due to the size of the button and the rubber not being as squishy. I have to think about how I am pressing the button because I am unable to click it on/off. I have never had similar issues with other lights before, except for when the button was broken.
80% liked its lightweight and compact design
This flashlight is ultra-compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around.
The handheld flashlight is very small and lightweight, making it easy to forget that it is there until needed.
The flashlight is very small and compact, and can be easily pocketed.
The light stays in my shirt pocket without falling out and is lightweight.
