I've had a couple of Streamlight Micro Stream flashlights for a few years. They are bright little lights. Anyway, the switch went out on one a few years back, & the other one the battery swelled & the switch also went out. A month or so ago I decided to either fix them or throw them away. I found a local dealer & dropped by to see if I could buy a new switch. The dealer didn't have the switch & recommended I send them back to Streamlight. I did so, & today I got them back. Actually, they sent me two brand new ones! Their warranty states that the switches aren't covered after two years, & I was way past that. I was impressed that the company would stand behind their project like that.:cool::D
 
I love Streamlight products. They are the only brand flashlight I use anymore.
A couple at work, one in my truck, and one at home.
 
I've been carrying the same Streamlight for almost 30 years. Probably 50% of the bluing is worn of. There are doors across the region that bear my knocking pattern on the upper right corner of the door. I believe the switch on mine has a lifetime warranty. I'm on the third switch. Not bad.
 
The only thing they wouldn't warranty was the rechargeable battery. Mine lasted 6 years, so I'm not complaining, just wish their instructions were more clear in explaining that when you put the light in the charger and the light doesn't start to blink, it means your battery is toast and it's time to order a new one.:D
 
Yep. I love Streamlights. I recently gave a Micro Stream in a Karma stating it was one of my favorite things. I have several MS'a around and also Stylus Pro's. (double the length of the MS) Great company!
 
I've got a Stylus too. At the last dealership I was at, the techs & the parts guys were always playing a game That I'll call "Deer in the Headlights", for lack of a better title. When someone would walk up to you you'd try & dazzle them with your flashlight before they could dazzle you. That Micro Stream came in real handy!:cool::D

Those will do that for sure! I recently bought a relitively inexpensive larger one for the home defense shot gun.(varmit control...) It was $35 thru Amazon. It's a bright sucker! Already thinking of getting a spare..... ;) When I got it I told a friend and he asked, "Did you shine it in your eyes to test the Lumins?" I said of course I did, I'm a guy!! :D

I've had my Streamlight since 1979, faded and beat up but still works. Replaced the rechargeable battery and bulb 4 times each, the switch and charger base once each, i even managed to melted the lens once when i left it on face down...BUT i will never ever get rid of it......It was part of my life then, and still is. It fact, i'm taking it with me when i go..MIGHT BE DARK THERE.
 
I am wearing one of my many Streamlights at work right now, and won't leave the house without one. At 600+ lumens, one push of the button and the bad guys scatter like roaches! ;)
 
I am going to take mine with me right now, as I go for a walk with the dogs. It is not quite light out yet. Comes in handy to spot the evidence and retrieve it.
 
I'm a big fan of their gun light/lasers...just as rugged and reliable as the other higher priced boutique jewelry, at a much friendlier price point.
 
They're only a few miles from me and I have several friends who work/worked there. I have several of their products.

Ya could say Made in USA , of parts made in China! :rolleyes:
 
I have a TLR-1 on my 870 and it has performed well. I also have a ProTac 1AA. It is a tiny little light that is bright for it's size.

I have a few Surefire lights they are great as well. Quite a bit more expensive unless you find them on sale.

I've been carrying my Streamlight Stinger for over 15 years. Still has the original bulb in it. I replaced the battery pack last year. It's great floor rapping on windows, doors and skulls if needed.
 
I've owned a couple, and they've been very high-quality products. I just purchased a Stylus Pro Reach, and it's a great tool. The flex neck on it works exactly the way I need for it.
