Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 66118 Stylus Pro Black LED Pen Flashlight with Holster
Customer Review: Great light and higly recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
The Streamlight Stylus Pro is a pen sized yet powerful LED flashlight which utilizes two triple AAA batteries that is durable, sleek and provides great utility in a pen sized package. You will not be disappointed with this light especially for the price.
Following is my breakdown:
Light
The LED light is extremely bright for such a small unit. The beam is a solid very white and bright light that provides good coverage for a small area. It is much brighter than a 2 D cell Maglite. It will work great in your home, vehicle or office. Outdoors it works great but is not designed for long ranges. It functions very good for short distance illumination.
Tail Switch
The tail switch has great functionality that can be used for momentary on or press all the way to click on for constant use. It is a little challenging to click on with your thumb but it is doable. It is easier to turn on with an index finger.
Clip
The clip is strong and appears to be very durable. The clip will rotate on the body when changing the battery which may cause the body to become slightly scratched. Not a big deal unless you want your flashlight to look pretty. The light is extremely light and is hardly noticeable in regards to weight.
Body
The body is very strong and durable with a great black finish. Although small, this light will be able to take abuse and still function flawlessly.
Uses
First, be clear that this light is not designed to replace the sun and it is not a tactical light. It is what it is...a great, durable, pen sized, bright illumination tool.
1. This is a great light to be utilized in a small area such as in an urban or camping environment. It will easily and comfortably fit in your pants or shirt pocket.
2. It is a great backup light for an EDC kit (remember to carry spare batteries). If space is a consideration in your EDC bag then this light is perfect. You can utilize the clip to attach to Molle or PALS attachments which can be very handy.
3. It will also work well in a medical kit but do not use this light to check pupilary reaction as the light is too bright for this purpose.
4. While this light is not designed as a tactical light it will function in this capacity if it is your LAST resort. It will momentarily blind an assailant long enough for you to either employ other tactical measures or get out of the environment. It probably could be used as a small impact weapon but I would not expect too much of a result with this type of use.
5. It will work, again as a LAST resort, as a shooting light but it will be challenging to engage the tail switch for some people. If it is all you have then make do...adapt, overcome and prevail.
Overall, I highly recommend this light.
Customer Review: Love it! (with a caveat)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great pen light for all the reasons stated both above and in other reviews.
However, if you're a medical student/EMT/nurse/doctor, don't think that you can pull double duty and make this a light to check pupils with. It's just way too bright, and your patients will hate you forever.
Customer Review: Surprisingly bright compact light
Summary: 4 Stars
The Streamlight 66118 Stylus Pro LED penlight is surprisingly bright for such a slim little 2-cell AAA flashlight. I am very pleased with its solid construction and water resistance. The fact that it takes AAA batteries instead of button cell or 123A is nice since AAA are cheaper and easier to find. The included sheath is decent enough for those who want to carry the light on a thin belt.(The belt opening is only about 1.5 inches) The pouch is basically a nylon webbing pocket with an attached belt loop, there's no flap to cover the light. The pocket clip attached to the light gives it a firm hold, yet is flexible enough to not tear at your pockets. The light can be turned on momentarily by depressing the switch part way or depress fully for click-on/click-off. The small button is a little difficult to click with my large fingers, otherwise I would have given it five stars. Those with narrower fingers might not have a problem fully clicking the button.
All in all, an excellent light and I'm glad I bought it.

Summary: 5 Stars
After searching far and wide for a reliable, heavy duty pen style flashlight, I found it. I work as a printer and am constantly reaching for my flashlight to make interior adjustments to the press. This light is great as it fits right in the pen slot of my front pocket, so it's always there when you need it. So far it's been 100% reliable, and has put out enough light for any occasion that I've needed it for (indoors and outdoors). It's extremely well made, and looks sharp too. I've become so reliant on it that I even wear it in my jacket pocket when I'm off work. I'll probably order a second one soon, they're just that handy.
