I just got one in the coyote finish. I've been playing with it in the dark for a few hours and like it. It is similar in size to a 100mm cigarette (see the photo). It charges using a USB port. It comes with a 5" USB cable that plugs into a port that is exposed when the cap is slid forward. It has two power modes; a 250 Lumen and a 50 Lumen. I like the low power for walking around in a dark room. The bright beam works well for me when I walk outside in the dark illuminating where I'll be walking. It fits unobtrusively in my pocket along with other EDC pocket stuff. Price seems to be about $30 from most suppliers.

I picked one of those up a couple of months ago and love it! It's a tiny lil critter, but sure throws out a good light. I've used it countless times since I've had it and have even thought about ordering a couple more.

I just ordered one of those and have been carrying it quite a bit when I’m wearing jeans and don’t have a bunch of pocket space. Awesome little light. I’ve had the older AAA version in my range bag for quite a while too.

I have two of the original Microstreams that run on a single AAA batt. Maybe Santy Claus will bring me a USB model for Christmas! :w000t:
Used to carry that one around the hospital when I was on patient care nights. Came in seriously handy a variety of times, especially when the power went off in an interior OR just as we were getting ready to intubate this kid. It went dark, I whipped out my streamlight and lit up the kids head, and the doc got back to work. Longest 10 seconds of my life until the generator kicked on.
