Reviews & Ratings for Streamlight MacroStream 500 Lumen LED Rechargeable EDC Flashlight — 10 reviews — Page 1

I've been using this light for going on about 5 years every day. Its been with me in various security jobs including retail, private property, Hospital and Prison work. Its an excellent value and a fantastic option for users who just want a simple lightweight light that can put out a decent lumen number. The two momentary modes can be quickly swapped through with practice and the activation button is easy to press with an audible and tactile click. This light charges in my car as I ride to work, along side my phone. The quick charging feature is welcome and the charging port is secured behind an O ring seal to avoid moisture. The sliding O ring seal also narrows the beam of the flashlight, when it is slid forward, giving the beam a further throw. The pocket clip works well and the diameter/size of the flashlight's body fits my hand perfectly. This light continues to put in the work daily, and I will probably be carrying it for awhile.

Bought this flashlight because it was small and 500 lumen. Just to find out it is rechargable and thats awesome!

I ordered 2 of these flashlights at the same time. One is working fine but the other one will not keep a charge. I was hoping y’all could send me another battery. The lights are lightweight and made in good quality.

I like how it’s rechargeable and it’s stupid bright for its size

This light has a good beam and throw when it works. It is light weight and fits in a pocket very well…however, occasionally it fails to turn on when I actuate the tail switch. This happens about 5% of the time.

I initially bought one of these as a relatively cheap, but quality light to use everyday at work, and this has quickly become my favorite little light. I love it because it’s simple, handy, rechargeable, and inexpensive. So much so that I’ve purchased several more just as backups and one to use around the house. I have bigger Streamlight lights, but I don’t necessarily carry them around everyday (mainly because they’re bigger and more expensive), but this one really does come in at a sweet spot where you get a lot of value for your money.

My only complaint (if there was one) would be that there’s no Ten-Tap or way to switch the activation modes. I would like to be able to switch it’s High-Low setting to Low-High, but with the amount of value you get with the MacroStream, I can live with the trade-off.

This is a nice, lightweight light for every day carry or whatever else. Nice and bright and the dim setting is nice when you don't need all the lumens. Charging is convenient with a slot for standard 3.5mm phone charger. The pocket clip works well though I just carry it in my pocket.

This is a good light, my only gripe is you can’t put a regular battery in it. It only takes the recharge battery. But overall excellent EDC.I carry it everywhere, small, bright & light. Almost disappears in your pocket

I love this little light. Extra bright, but small enough to fit into your pocket. This is the most have when you need a slim light that can be carried but also bright enough to light up around a car while walking out during a dark night. Zero complaints will buy again.
