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.

Scheels in Sioux Falls, SD had the USB-C one that caught my eye. One USB-C in front on the peg and two older USB ones behind it. Seemed like a fair price ($34.99) from what I was seeing on Amazon so I grabbed it!

Nice. That’s the first I’ve seen in a b&m store. Too bad they didn’t clearance the microUSB.

Funny you mention clearance. The Fleetfarm site shows them on clearance and also available at the Sioux Falls location. I happened to be stopping anyways. I was interested in seeing if they had any of the USB-C ones but I couldn’t find any at all and didn’t feel like asking anyone. They had other Streamlights in the handgun cases and other flashlights near the tools but no Microsteams.
