Many of us are on a quest. We want the light of the sun in a small handheld flashlight. We also want exceptional candela with 40 billion lumens. While many have joined us in our quest, one company seems to always be at the forefront. Streamlight has now released its Megastream HP-USB flashlight.
Lighting Up The Night – Megastream HP USB – Streamlight Ultra-Bright Flashlight
The MegaStream HP USB is the newest addition to the Stream series of handheld flashlights. It is a high-candela powerhouse. The flashlight delivers 310,000 candela and a beam distance of 1,114 meters. It offers impressive performance for a light of its size.

Candela vs. Lumens
As a matter of clarity, it is important to understand lumens vs candela. Lumens measure the total amount of visible light a light source emits. In contrast, candela measures the intensity of that light in a specific direction. Think of it this way: lumens tell you how much total light a bulb is putting out. Meanwhile, candela tells you how bright that light appears in a particular direction. This is like when looking at a flashlight’s beam at a distance.
Engineered for professionals and everyday users alike, the MegaStream HP USB offers three lighting modes. It features a push-button tail cap switch with momentary or constant on operation. The flashlight also has a USB-C rechargeable design. It is ideal for those who require far-reaching, ultra-bright illumination in a handheld, lightweight format.
1350 Lumens
The light provides 1,350 lumens on high, 470 lumens on medium, and 145 lumens on low. It offers run times of two, four, and 15 hours, respectively. The MegaStream HP USB is powered by a 3,500mAh Streamlight SL-B34 lithium-ion battery pack with an onboard safety circuit. Charging is simple: a sliding sleeve reveals the USB-C port. An LED indicator shows the charging status: red for charging, green for charging.
“The MegaStream HP USB is the perfect blend of extreme performance and everyday portability,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamlight President. “It delivers a powerful downrange beam, ideal for users who need serious light in a convenient, rechargeable package.”

Built to withstand tough conditions, the MegaStream HP USB is constructed from machined aluminum alloy. It has a Type II MIL-Spec anodized finish for abrasion resistance. The flashlight features an unbreakable glass lens and is IPX7 waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Also, it is impact-resistance tested to 1 meter.
The MegaStream HP USB measures 6.61 inches. It has a 1-inch body and 2.24-inch head diameter and weighs 9 ounces with the battery. It is available in Black and ships with a USB-C cord, removable pocket clip, and holster. The light has an MSRP of $219.00. It comes with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
