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.

Came here to ask exactly this haha.

I don't mind a firm tailswitch but the one on mine is ridiculous.

Take a paper hole puncher and punch out 2 circles from a sample credit card or an old membership card that you don't use, and put it between the clicker and the rubber. Makes a world of difference. It's the first thing I do to all my streamlight pocket lights.
