I love this little LED light. Sometimes it is preferable to just swap batteries than to charge with USB, and that is why I chose this light. It is driven by only 1 AAA battery, so just keep a couple in backup and you will be good to go for quite some time at the 45 lumen brightness. Another thing I like is the double ended pocket clip, making it possible to mount it on my cap for instance. Also it is very small, so you can carry it anywhere without notice or any kind of cumber. The flashlight has a simple and rock-solid construction. You won't break it. Lastly I like the push button on the back which accommodates intermittent or permanent lumination. The only thing I don't like is that the pocket clip interferes when you try to screw the flashlight together after changing the battery.

The ON/OFF switch is very difficult to push in far enough to keep the light ON position. No problem to have the light ON while holding the switch down. However, the push the switch far enough down to have it STAY ON you have to use your thumb nail while holding the light with the other hand. Very awkward to do. Called the company and they immediately sent me another switch unit at no charge. The new switch was the same as the original. There is somewhat of a fix as posted by another reviewer. Using a normal paper hole punch make up 4 or 5 disks of thin plastic (any thin plastic will work) and use these disks inside the switch so that the light will work as designed. Push and hold for light for momentary light and push down further to lock in the ON position. This will be obvious once you unscrew the switch and see where the disks go. It may take several attempts to get the right number of disks. Even without adding the disks so you can lock it ON, the switch can easily be pushed to the momentary ON position which if carried in your pocket or purse could easily cause the light to stay on and run down the battery. A really great light in all other aspects if it had a good switch. Read full review

I've been using this model light for more than 10 years. It's very light weight; fits in a pocket; uses 1 AAA battery which is easy to get; I've dropped this light on the ground from ladders and similar heights onto the concrete and tile flooring and it's never broken. I've also dropped it in water (quickly removed it) but it did not malfunction. The clip is handy although I have had to 're-tighten' it (by squeezing it with pliers) after a few years of heavy use the clip gets bent just enough to loosen it's grip but not enough to be a real problem. The light 'beam' or 'spread' is a good mix of spot and flood in my opinion (not adjustable). Good for close distances but in complete dark it's good for further out. It's easy to cover the end with your hand if you don't want to light up the entire space and just need a little light.Read full review

A great little flashlight! During the Halloween Nor'easter and then Sandy, my MicroStream got a good workout. It's a must have for camping, the lanyard insures you know where it is. I love the fact that it uses a single AAA battery for power. Cheap easy and effective. The clip works as a pocket clip but also has a reverse portion for clipping onto the bill of a ball cap so you can use it like a head lamp. Every time I travel my MicroStream is with me. I keep it handy on the nightstand at home or away. This purchase is a gift for a loved one.

I've used mine (same model light) every day for over 12 years now in hard conditions and it's never broken or failed. I've dropped it in water, dropped it off ladders and scaffolds from high up, I've gotten it dirty, muddy etc and it's held up. The only thing I've had to do is after a few years of use, pinch the clip a little bit with pliers to make it 'clip' tighter (if that makes sense). No big deal. I would consider purchasing an extra clip in the future as a back up but even after 12 years the original has been fine. I use these as gifts now days people usually seem to appreciate them. It's like holding a slightly longer AA battery. Not too large, not too small. Great size and weight. There is only 1 level of brightness and only a on/off or temp on with slight pressure on the cap. The level of brightness is great for most occasions. I use it at work, on a night out, anywhere/time. The battery run time seem very good to me. I use my light everyday and have it on a lot/often. I replace my battery once per month maybe 2 months (but not necessarily because it died). I'd guess an average user would use it less than I do and not need to replace the battery as often if using a good brand.Read full review
