Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 65018 Stylus 6-1/4-Inch Penlight with Pocket Clip and White LED, Black
Customer Review: perfect light, but give us flavors
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't agree more with the sterling recomendations for the Stylus penlight. The sturdy Stylus delivers reliable performance without fail. Be advised though, that if you misplace it, even briefly, you will be so bereft that you will immediately want to order another. Avoid criticism by nosy parkers when they see a second order appear, buy at least two styluses to begin with (both the same color, eh? -- and three would not be too many). This foresight will be rewarded, then, as you'll have one at hand, even the the other one (or two) are awol. With amazon now selling the batteries, how could life get better?
Okay, the elephant in the room. As any true advocate of this light will attest, the Stylus spends a lot of time in the owner's mouth, giving it's owner two-handed access to the dark crevices it illuminates. Unlike most any other flashlight, including penlights, this little gem is entirely comfortable, dentally speaking, while giving laudable and legion service. Thus, the only possible improvement Streamlight could make in the Stylus would be by adding flavor sleeves for the upper length of the light. But flavor or no, I'm keeping everyone of MY three styluses.

I love these things.
I got a couple of the green LED to preserve night vision and these white LED ones just to be "normal" ;)
It's tough: LED/light technology is just out of this world ... you can get amazing/blinding beams (pro/con) for cheap and I'll as often go to my keychain light.
But the nice thing about this little baton is that it's SOLID and looks serious... seems like the correct tool for pros in the medical or tech fields...or if you're a hunter hahha.
It feels great in the hand and I always keep one in my satchel or glovebox.
Decent throw, good light... if you're an uber-light geek, this won't replace anything you've got based on lux-capacity ;) It's the form and function of it, the warranty, and just your obsession with having every kind of light that would lead you to pick up one of these.
I still think I'd get the green LED lights to rationalize getting more of these since I have so many lights already. I gave one to my buddy who has a newborn in case it helps him move around the room without disturbing his munchkin... who knows if it'll work that way ;)
Customer Review: Great light
Summary: 5 Stars
This flashlight has a lot going for it. Small, light weight, tough, and waterproof. The LED will last essentially forever, so you don't have to worry about spare bulbs. It's bright enough to find our way in the dark, casting useful, if not extremely bright light out to about 20'. It's really meant to be a utility/work light for getting into small spaces so you can see what you're doing though, and for that it's excellent. It's a good balance of brightness and battery life. Even under heavy use the batteries should last a week or two, versus maybe one day with many larger flashlights. My only complaint is that there's no outward indication of the LED color, so if you have more than one there's no way to tell which is which without turning them on.
If you want a small, long lasting light, you can buy this without hesitation. If you want a brighter (and shorter battery life) light, check out it's big brother: Streamlight 66118 Stylus Pro Black LED Pen Flashlight with Holster.
Customer Review: What a Fellow Needs in His Purse
Summary: 5 Stars
Awhile ago, I asked my long-suffering wife to once again hand me my sunglasses from her purse. She looked at me and asked: "Why don't you get your own purse?" So I did. I now carry a bulletproof canvas shoulder bag (purse) made by the Duluth Pack Company. It holds the usual stuff: PDA/cell phone, wallet, keys, business cards, and Swiss Army knife. It also holds my amazingly durable and efficient Streamlight Stylus penlight. Three observations. First, I've never had anyone question my masculinity as I've carried the purse. Second, I can't imagine handling the above-mentioned artifacts of modern civilization without my purse. Third, I can't imagine not having the Streamlight Stylus in my purse when the chips are down and darkness is falling. This is a bright, long lasting, and virtually indestructible tool that has helped me and others in many dimly-lit situations. Try one...I think you'll like it!Customer Review: A great special purpose light
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing light that will serve you well in special circumstances. It is a penlight, and as such, doesn't replace a regular flashlight. It does, however, have its uses. If I am traveling and think that if might be nice (but not necessary) to have a light, this one is perfect. It takes up almost no space and is bright with a fairly focused beam. At home it is a great light to illuminate tight spaces. I also like leaving it beside my bed in case I have a need for a little light but want to avoid brighter lights that might disturb my wife.
This is not the kind of light you will use for extended periods of time. You use it for a moment or two at a time. Because of that, the batteries will last for quite a while. If you do need to replace them, you can open up a standard 9v battery and remove the AAAA batteries you will find inside of it.
