So who's excited about the Microstream?

[Knight of Myth]

For me, I think it's the light I've been wanting for a while. The clickie is a big plus for this light, which clearly sets it apart from other 1xAAA lights. Combine that with streamlight's durability and quality and I think this should be one hell of a light.

Hmmm...... it's cute, and I'm sure the clicky will appeal to some folks, but I think I'll stick with my 2 mode Miller Mod ARC AAA Cree..... it's about as close to the perfect AAA light as I can think of (of course, at 5 times the cost I guess it should be, ha).

Been thinking about it here. Not a bad light for under 20 bucks. Think I'm going to wait until I see some input here at CPF.

I like the looks of it. I would like to see some reviews first. Are they being sold yet?

Brightguy has them.

Brightguy has them.

Brightguy website says "available Late July"
There is also a longer 2AAA version coming out.

It's on my list of wants as well as a pentagon molle light

I think the 1AAA is a bit big compared to other offerings out there but does look to be solid. The 2AAA model seem more interesting to me and looks to be a cool penlight replacement. I would be interested in seeing what kind of beam profile these optics make.

It's just real hard for me to get excited about this light when you have AAA lights with real emitters putting out real amounts of lumens like these...

See my mini review I just posted regarding both the MicroStream and the Stylus Pro.

I like them a lot, but I don't have any of the DX lights shown to compare them to. I can say that USPS shipping from Lighthound only took 3 days. Shipping time was one of the reasons I haven't ordered anything but the Hyperion from overseas lately.
As for beam quality, it's great. Despite their descriptions in the StreamLight info, they don't have optics. It's a normal reflector and a window.

Well, I'm :wave: excited about the new MicroStream.

And IMHO, brighter isn't always better.

You are quite right Kurt. There are different lights to fit the needs of different people. What I like, the other guy might not...and visa versa. Thanks for pointing that out.
