I've been carrying a Klarus E1 for a year. Absolutely the best for pocket carrying and for the money. Daily and Tactical mode with memory function and momentary mode in a 4" length and 1.000 lumens... Just awesome!

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’ve had the OG micro for a long time. Mine originally had the issue with the tail cap which Streamlight knew about. I contacted them and they sent me the revised cap for free. That was probably 5 years ago. But it’s a great light that takes just 1 simple battery.

I've been carrying the micro stream for years. The versatility of it is awesome. Bulletproof construction you can drop it on concrete floors all day and sustain NO damage. I have bought a dozen or so over the years (not due to failure just because I keep them everywhere truck, pocket, safe, tool box, desk drawer) the tan colored micro USB starts in high mode (which I prefer) bottom line buy with confidence, and at the price point buy a few always good to have back ups and they make for great gifts

Pretty much everything Streamlight makes it GTG, so can't fault you for liking the Macrostream. Had a Macrostream, liked it, but recently "upgraded" to an Olight Mini Warrior 2 as my EDC light. It has all the things I find important in an EDC light. It's rechargeable, bright as hell, has 2 activation buttons(which is great as I know how much light I'm going to get depending on which switch I use), and has pretty decent battery life. As long as it doesn't explode on me I feel that I've found a "keeper", so definitely a light you might want to check out.

The light was worn to a polished silver until the click-cap section got replaced. Now it looks partly new and well worn. Customer service has been great. I’ve purchased several of these as gifts for friends. I have been eyeing the USB rechargeable version.

Talon, it may not be your jam if you prefer simple UI on your lights, but I cannot recommend the D4V2 enough. They're made by this guy, Hank, from Intl-outdoors. Smooth ramping between brightness and you can even ramp between different emitters. You could do 2 warm lights, and 2 cooler lights to choose a color temp that you like. or you could choose a floodier LED, and a throwier LED for outdoor use. It uses Anduril 2 which is a flashlight firmware thats constantly being updated. You can even update your existing light!

The micro is great but if I find myself needing to use it for an extended period of time (pretty often since I walk my dog after work) it leaves me wanting more. The macro is robust enough to handle impromptu walks at night no problem, yet small enough to EDC. (Also, the button is much easier to use).

I have had 2 Microstream USBs and both of them had bad tail switches. The first one was so mushy and wouldnt click to lock, the second one you had to push down and move to the side a bit to get it to come on.

Usb micro is my EDC. Battery life is just enough for my daily and work activities unless I need something with a lot more output then im probably using my helmet mounted streamlight.

FYI they do make micro streams that start on high and second click to low. The brown one I have is like that

I have a streamlight that I was turning my composter at night (what? You don’t grow some of your own food?) and it fell off the branch I clipped it to, and stayed behind the composter all winter, and it still works! Just a little pitting, and the clip was rusty so I replaced the clip. You’d never know now that it was frozen for 5 months!

Not sure about the macro but my stylist pro (the long pen size of the micro) you can take the rubber button off and then you can tail stand it

I like them but my question on the stiletto. What do think of that light. Was thinking of picking one up but for $200 it’s kinda steep for my shallow pockets.

Check out my EDC video from last week, I gave most of my thoughts there 👍🏻
