Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 66318 MicroStream C4 LED Pen Flashlight

Customer Review: Great Flashlight !!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This little guy is great, its just the right size to take anywhere! For the price , I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. It feels well built and sturdy, (aircraft aluminum) like. Wish it had a strobe but that's what The Protac 1L is for. I went ahead and ordered two more for gifts.

Customer Review: Great Light Bad Incorrect Clip
Summary: 4 Stars

Ok my reason for buying the light was simple. I needed a quick replacement for my failed Inova X1 which I couldn't live without while its being replaced.

First the light is smaller then my X1 and a lot brighter to boot as I have the version 2 of the X1 which would run on a single AA for over 10 hours, that was nice. Note the Stream Light Micro Stream is also very nice and as I said a lot brighter but also no where near the runtime but that's fine as it yields a beautiful bright clean beam, on this they did a great job.

Burn time is usully a trade off for this brightness, but overall I like the light the build is very good but not great as I am picky, inova in my opin builds a better light top notch CNC machining on the inova lights in this price class so I'm deducting a star for this plus I do not feel the QC is being watched to close and I hope that someone from Stream Light sees my review as what they have done here is not acceptable in my opin, let me explain ...

The light comes with a lanyard however you can't really use it as they do not or no longer provide the correct clip, many images on the net including the image on Amazon show that the light has a skeleton clip that allows you to attach a ring and or lanyard to it, but the light you get now, as of me buying it in 2010 has a standard solid clip no holes to attach the included lanyard, now to me in this price class someone is asleep at the wheel. They shouldn't send out this light with the wrong clip and it should be corrected I think I shall send them an e-mail as I want the correct clip I do not like this solid incorrect clip that they seem to be passing off. I hope others contact them so they send us or make the type of clip this should have. Actually as i am also a FL collector it would be quite slick and more useful if it came with a nice stainless skeleton clip to accent the black body of the light.

As for the clip scratching the light while changing the battery, just slip a business card in between and it will be fine, yes that is a small design flaw but not a big deal breaker in my opin.

Any way I really feel that the clip it is shown with all over the net is the clip we should get with the light, and I wanted others to know this before they buy, and as I said maybe call or shoot the company an email saying we are not happy with this change and or err on there part at all. Please feel free to comment.

Customer Review: Great for you "personal protection kit"
Summary: 5 Stars

I instruct classes in concealed carry qualification and personal protection. There is a "minimum equipment list" that I suggest to all of my students. It includes a reliable, effective, lightweight flashlight and the MicroStream is my primary recommendation to fit that bill. It uses economical AAA batteries which have extraordinarily long life in this light given its high intensity. I use mine several times a day in the normal course business and recreation. It is on par with my firearm, knife, and phone as "something I don't leave home without".

Customer Review: Great light
Summary: 5 Stars

Light is tiny and nicely made. In an unscientific comparison with our huge, heavy, 4-D-cell Maglite, the Streamlight is close to the same brightness. You won't be able to subdue intruders with it, as you might with the Maglite, but you can carry it in any pocket.
