Streamlight MACROSTREAM®USB By: Sal Palma
While charging, the LED indicator will be red but once the battery is fully charged, the LED will turn green.
Over the years, Streamlight has been adding USB rechargeable tactical lights to their lineup. In 2020, the company introduced the MACROSTREAM® USB.
Looking under the hood, you’ll find the anodized aluminum body that houses the C4 LED emitter along with the USB charging circuit, Streamlight’s Lithium Ion battery and the tail cap with a removable and multidirectional pocket or hat clip.
This compact personal light operates in two modes; high, at 500 lumens and low, which is a 50 lumen beam. The MACROSTREAM is also an excellent EDC light. Most CCW platforms lack an accessory rail for a weapon mounted light and those so equipped are challenged to find a suitable holster. A pocket light like the MACROSTREAM is extremely useful in a variety of situations. The light is powered by a single rechargeable 800 mAh Lithium Ion battery that delivers 2 hours of runtime on HIGH and 8 hours on LOW. The MACROSTREAM is USB rechargeable and takes about 4 hours to fully charge. The charging jack is a micro usb port accessible by pulling up on the bezel housing.
Streamlight offers the MACROSTREAM USB in a very nice black finish. Operating the light is intuitive and can be actuated in momentary or constant modes. The Copyright 2020, Twobirds Flying Publications, All Rights Reserved
Streamlight MACROSTREAM®USB light starts on HIGH by default but can be switched to LOW by a rapid press of the activation switch on the tailcap. Summing it all up, the Streamlight MACROSTREAM USB is an outstanding all around EDC light, carry it in your pants pocket, shirt pocket or keep it in the glove box, you never know when the need for lighting will come up and this little light from Streamlight will serve you well. Now for the good news, at a street price of under $55, you couldn’t get a better EDC light.
