MacroStream
Streamlight MacroStream USB
The Streamlight MacroStream USB is a round-body LED handheld light rated at 500 lumens and 2,000 candela. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 15 yards and visual impairment out to 2 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It runs on Lithium Ion and is rechargeable. It weighs 2.2 oz in an aluminum body 4.5 inches long. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands among the dimmest 10 percent for output (500 lumens), among the least intense 10 percent for beam intensity (2,000 candela), among the lightest 10 percent for weight (2.2 oz), and in the least expensive quarter for price ($65). It is one of 61 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 500 to 999 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is Streamlight ProTac 2L-X, the same brand's light in the same 500 to 999 lumen class, priced at $65.
