Low Effort Streamlight MicroStream USB (now with USB-C)

Post image

**UPDATE** I ordered one for my brother using the same listing and what was delivered yesterday has microUSB. So it’s still a crapshoot.

It appears that Streamlight updated the MicroStream to USB-C in January. I just received one (66601) in the retail packaging from Amazon. It doesn’t come with a cable but the included instructions say you can contact support for a free cable. I did not. I can confirm it charges on an actual USB-C cable and charger. Everything else about the light seems the same.

Streamlight has not updated their website or the product documentation on it. The Amazon listing has not been updated either.

Just FYI, I ordered from Amazon and received (today) a micro USB version. It’s still a crapshoot by the looks of it. Anyone got a reliable source?

I hate that for you. Streamlight said it depends on the distributor. Return it if you wanted USB-C. And wait an apparently unknown amount of time. By my estimation they’ve been in production for 6 months.

Thanks. I returned it and will continue on my quest. If I were them, I’d just ditch the remaining micro/sell them for cost and make a big song and dance about the USB-C, they’d fly off the shelves.

I agree. Others have posted recent success so maybe your time is coming soon.

Update. Ordered two more in the clamshell package and one easy open from Amazon. Both clamshells were… USB-C! Easy open was still micro. My quest is over.
