Streamlight MicroStream USB
★4.8(9,000 reviews)
The penlight every electrician, nurse, and mechanic seems to own. 250 lumens from a AAA-sized aluminum body, a two-way clip that mounts to a hat brim as a makeshift headlamp, and a rock-solid tail switch. Charging is micro-USB rather than USB-C — its one dated spec — but at $30 it's a near-perfect first light.
