Streamlight 65006 Stylus 2-Lumen Red LED Pen Light with 3 AAAA Alkaline Batteries, Black

Not sure what people misunderstand about the size. It is a penlight. I have used one for years both on the road as an leo for checking eyes, map reading, and small tent light while hunting and a notification light to let other hunters know I am there. The light is quite bright for what it is and lasts quite a while. Very useful

Good little light

Works great as a dui SFST stimulus!

Safety, I think if someone were to try to attack, it may deter if shined in their eyes, but if they are close enough to strike or have a weapon, this might not have affect as defense, still for its price I feel safer with it, such as if I am note feeling well or at my best, one catch is that to shine more light, the cap needs to be quickly removed, but be careful not to lose it, it is small and light (the cap I mean). Second reason to have it is if camping, hiking or indeed of help, it is so bright, you would be seen from afar. Difficult to know the exact lumens and a bit harder to find batteries, I will find out when they run out. Still, it is so bright, it is works it,

I'M ONLY A CIVILAINAdmin work is a very important and often overlooked aspect of all the super tactical coolguy training shenanigans. Especially if you have the responsibility to look after people, you are part of a NPP (Neighborhood Protection Plan), you have a Bug out scenario, have to take notes, read maps and navigate, whatever it may be. Chances are being able to see that you are doing in low light without using white light is a huge deal.As anyone who is LE, Military or Contracting knows.Pros:This thing is built like a tank. It's heavy, sturdy and metal. You know you have this thing in your hand and you know its not going anywhere. The button is stiff so the chances of you NDing light is reduced. But watch you the putting just in case. It's bright, which is good and bad. Good because you can see what your doing. I've had it a few months and still haven't had to change the batteries, they take AAAA. Like with anything that takes batteries it's usually a good idea to carry spares on your person.Cons:It's momentary only, which is kind of a pain in the backside to be honest. So taking notes you may have to have someone hold the light for you, or you can put the pen in your mouth the try to press the button with your tongue. The button is still so my milage was very inconsistent. The light would flicker on and off. It's bright, the LED shines through the plastic, maybe wrapping some black electrical tape might cut down on that if it's a problem. (I'm currently out of E-tape so I couldn't test that). It's also a lot longer than I thought it would be, shocker that's a negative, I know. It sticks out of my admin pocket maybe an 8th of an inch.Overall:It will fit inside the admin pocket if I lay it down. But with earplugs, whistle, batteries, pen and sharpie and a notepad all fighting for space in the pocket, laying in down means I would have a hell of a time getting it back out. So I just zip the pocket closed and the zippers keep the pen upright. Opening the pouch it usually stays put unless it get tangled on something. But I honestly just pull it out if I need to grab loose items and put it back when I'm done digging around.Mise on Place, right?Please keep in mind your milage will very on battery life and durability. For the Operational dudes, using this thing off and on every night. You'll probably have to change your batteries sooner than I will. If it can me being a dumby and beating the crap out of it. It should hold up to a more stressful environment.Glad I bought it, and I think it's a good investment.

I did a lot of research on various red flashlights for astronomical use. I stumbled upon the Streamlight Stylus light and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed with my purchase. It is well-built, made of aluminum and features an LED bulb rated for 100,000 hours of use. The on/off controls are easy to operate and there are two modes. For intermittent use, just push down on the tactical-style button. For continuous use, twist the top barrel (also used to replace batteries) so that the light stays on. I think it is ideal for astronomical use in reading charts, etc. The flashlight puts out just enough red light (1 lumen) so that you don't get overwhelmed with a bright beam and lose your night vision. The flashlight comes with three AAAA cells and a plastic LED protector top that can be easily removed.

Complete letdown, was hoping for a product I could use helping to inspect tunnels for my job. The sleek and sexy look is what originally sold me along with the overall good ratings, but the product I got was a joke.The light was weak, with a new battery installed and pointing directly to the ground from my hand (so roughly 2-3 feet away) would just barely dim the floor. The results were dreadful and left the product unusable for me.To top that it did not have a constant "ON" option as advertised in the listing. The only way to power the light was a constant pressing the button.I wound up returning immediately and am very disappointed with this one.

These make doing DUIs at night so much easier.
