The Streamlight Stylus Pro is one of my favorite LED flashlights of all time, and it’s on sale right now for under $20.
This is a 2x AAA penlight. It’s simple to use, with a firm pushbutton tailcap, and convenient to carry.
I’ve found that it’s a great fit for a kitchen tool drawer, tool bag or box, or even a car glove box if you equip it with cold-resistant batteries (e.g. Energizer lithium).

Streamlight has several color options, and one or more are usually discounted around Black Friday.
I checked today, and Amazon has the black finish version for $19.07, and if “click” the on-screen coupon, the price drops down to $18.11.
At the time of this posting, they have a limited time deal on the silver finish version, for $22.49. The red one is nearly $24, and the blue is around $23.
The black-finish flashlight isn’t very stylish, but it’s a classic and perfectly functional.
If you’ve been meaning to pick up a durable penlight from a reputable name brand, $18.11 is a great price. Or, wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday – I can’t remember a year when these weren’t discounted on Amazon.
I bought my first Streamlight Stylus Pro back in mid-2008 for around the same price. I bought more since then, most to give as gifts or reader giveaways. This is one of those products that I’d buy again without hesitation.

Looking for a smaller flashlight? Look at the Olight i3T (1x AAA) for as low as $16 right now. Want something less expensive? The Coast G20 penlight isn’t as bright, but is just $10.

I have a modification for the Streamlight. If you find it difficult to depress the tail switch far enough to easily activate the light do this: punch a piece of plastic out of a coffee can lid with a regular office hole punch. Unscrew the very top of the switch assembly and place your newly made spacer in line with the existing mechanism. It will make it much easier to “click”.

The Coast G22 is a great pen light. At ~$10 or so, I routinely buy some as gifts for other techs on the floor.
Single AAA with two modes – which is fairly pointless as both modes are bright.
Why Coast can’t make a G22 in two cell, with a more pronounced step between low and high, I don’t know.

Check out the G20 – Two cells, but only one mode…

I have 2 and love them. Be careful of leaking batteries ruining the switch. I can’t see a way to disable it, so $10 for a new switch.

Lithium cells will avoid all that alkaline leakage.

I love the Streamlight USB (same size as the single cell) but need a spare as I am always misplacing mine. Probably would be better to have one to use while the other is charging.
Anyways, Streamlight offers alot of value for the money!

The problem I have with most of the Streamlight USB lights is they’re still using micro-USB and not USB-C.
Clay
Fair. I still have enough other mini-usb devices that it has not been an issue…
…yet.

Great light. I bought it for $16.32 during Amazon’s 2025 Prime Day sale in early July. One might think you could it for that or less during a Cyber Monday deal. Regardless this deal is less than $2 more, so if you are looking for a great pen light on the quick, you can’t go wrong with this unit.

I bought my first one in May 2008 for $17.75. Bought a bunch for reader giveaways – $18.97 in 2010. In December 2010, I bought a blue one for $19.37, and in black for $18.97.
Given the tariffs situation, I’m not sure what we’ll see for Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
Streamlight typically discounts the Stylus Pro in a specific color option for BF, CM, or both. I was checking to familiarize myself with the “before” pricing when I saw there was a new/active coupon offer.

Bought two blue ones for $28 (for the pair) five years ago on Amazon. I guess they’ve gone up.
