Coast XP9R 1200 Lumen USB-C RECHARGEABLE-DUAL POWER LED Flashlight With PURE BEAM SLIDE FOCUS And Top Grade Aluminum Build

This light is rechargeable and alternatively, runs on batteries. It is small, solid, bright, adjustable beam, and weather resistant. Not immersible. Rather expensive, but worth it.

Husband LOVES it. It is very bright. DURABLE! He lost it. Then found it. Completely scratched up. Most likely ran over. And still working great!

The Coast XP9RI've bought probably 20 flashlights over the last 10 years for my job, from Walmart/Coleman specials to tactical-this-and-that.I really like this flashlight. The size is great, fits well in the hand and is comfortable to hold. I love that the adjustable beam has a lock function, most adjustables just slide up and down so when you remove them from a belt holster they would change what you had set. With XP9R, if you set it for beam or flood, it stays there unless you change it.Normally when you get into "mid-range" tactical lights ($30-70), they start making giant lamp housings and/or they look ugly, or they have features that nobody really needs. If you're breaking auto glass more than once in a lifetime, you probably also carry a standard window punch. You'll probably never use a flashlight for self-defense on its own.I keep it in a leather belt holster meant for a streamlight strion. I know Coast sells flashlight holsters but I don't want nylon on my duty belt.Thankfully haven't dropped it yet, so durability has not been tested. Maybe if I buy a second one, I'll put it through some real abuse (drop tests, knocking on doors, etc) and make a video or a real review.Cons:The battery has to be completely removed from the unit to charge. The charging port is directly on the battery. It does take two CR-123A (double check this, folks) as a backup. Coast could sell this directly with one spare battery so you could always have one charging.I wish Full Power was the first setting instead of the second click. It is definitely bright and throws light down the block.I severely dislike lanyard holes on flashlights.

takes 3xAAA or a rechargeable battery. it's solid and bright, but a bit bulky because of the power source. other lights in this brand offer a pencil beam, which this unit does not offer. overall, i'm not sure whether i'd prefer the version that takex 2xAA, but either will perform well.

So far I love this flashlight. It’s very bright and a really good size. I’ve been buying coast flashlights for several years and I love the construction and the durability. I think the rechargeable aspect is a great feature, however I’m not sure how I will feel if the included battery doesn’t last long. We’ll have to wait and see, but so far I love this new flashlight.

Flashlight works great. I have used Streamlights in the past and they fail after a few years. Coast lights hold up much longer.

Great flashlight even if a little pricey.

Thank you 🙏
