Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 65018 Stylus 6-1/4-Inch Penlight with Pocket Clip and White LED, Black
Customer Review: hey you docs & vets..
Summary: 3 Stars
..using a white LED to perform ocular exams: YOU IDIOT NITWITS! How did you folks get through med school?! Remember "primum non nocere"? High frequency LEDs are damaging to the retina. That's why there's a warning on the packaging. FYI.Customer Review: Connection Fails
Summary: 2 Stars
I have owned three of these and all three have done the same thing. Afer a month or so the light works intermittently and you have to shake it or hit it with the palm of your hand to get it to work. It seems like there is a loose connection or something. If it didnt have this issue I would give the light a great review but since all of the ones I have had failed in the same way it falls short of being a solid tool in my opinion.Customer Review: Junk!

I bought two of these and they both have the same problem - bad tail switch connection. I have cleaned the tail switch, stretched the spring, but nothing helps for a permanent solution. The tail switch connection is an on-going problem. It will work for a few minutes or even an hour, then it will not work and I will have to clean it again.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT STREAMLIGHT FLASHLIGHTS - All the small lights (Stylus, Stylus Pro, Jr., Baton, Key-Mate, etc.)SUCK! And it is always the same problem - the tail switch will stop working or work intermittently. They don't know how to make a quality small flashlight. HOWEVER, the mid to large size flashlights starting with the Scorpion are dependable and excellent in quality. I have been using the old Xenon bulb Scorpion for over 5 years without a problem and the same for the halogen bulb SL-20X. If you want a quality small flashlight, go for the Inova's. They have never failed on me.
I will never buy a small model flashlight from Streamlight again. Did I mention that they are junk? Well, they are.
Customer Review: almost perfect
Summary: 1 Stars
I am impressed with the amount of light , the tiny weight and just all around feel of this flashlight. I would even say it is perfect, except for one thing. THE END PIECE WHICH HOUSES THE LENS, WILL BREAK OFF IN YOUR HAND!.The aluminum is body is strong- that I admit. However, the threaded portion is Paper-thin! Seeing as though you have to unscrew the lens piece in order to replace batteries, it is little more than a disposable.Customer Review: Useless!

I hate this light. Mine stopped working properly right after I bought it five years ago. It turns on really dim and you have to shake it around to get it to light fully, and then it'll only stay bright if you're lucky. Sometimes it just goes out completely. Nothing much more annoying than a flashlight that doesn't stay on. Stuffing tin foil between the batteries seemed to help a little.
