XPH34R 2075 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable-Dual Power LED Headlamp withPURE Beam® Twist Focus™ and Magnetic Base

This is mainly a review of the Coast XPH34R. However I do also somewhat review the Coast HL8 by comparison. Both of these products are quality items which I own. The HL8 is an earlier model with a lower light output. The advantage of this light is it will take AA batteries, and can be equipped with an optional rechargeable battery at extra cost. It is also in my opinion an more comfortable light to wear if you are not using a hard hat. The portion of the light that rests against your forehead seems larger, and the light is lighter. The brightness on the HL8 is easily adjustable with a 3 position rotary switch. This light is mainly a plastic build, but well made, and that may be why it is lighter. The XPH34R is primarily a metal product. It seems to be precision machined. It is designed to be used with Coasts lithium battery made for this product, and works well, is very bright. It is not as comfortable as the HL8 because it is heavier, and it appears that the area of the light that rests against the forehead is smaller, so more weight on a smaller area. This potential problem (not everyone will find it a problem) could be mitigated by using it with a hard hat. Coast provides a battery carrier which can be inserted in lieu of the rechargeable battery that takes AAA cells. I do not think AAA cells would last very long in this product, so you might want to get a spare rechargeable. You adjust the brightness of this product by a series of button presses. The light starts in medium mode. To set on high, press the button twice. To set on low, 3 times. The turbo mode can be activated by holding the button down for two seconds. I actually prefer the mechanism of the HL8 for setting brightness, but unless you are changing this often, the button presses should work fine. I like both these products and rate them 5 stars. However, be aware that while the XPH34R is pitched as a 2075 lumen light, this is ONLY in turbo mode, which shuts off after a very short time, and goes to a lower brightness… I assume to protect the light from heat damage. I can not find this detail in the light specs or description, but it is in the Q & A on the Coast website re this product… so I would rate the description as a little misleading. It has been my experience that Coast honors its lifetime warranty. I am a bit of a Coast-a-holic, (I have lots of their products), and have replaced two of them under warranty, which has been hastle free, and one reason I keep coming back for more. I wish they made cars.

This headlamp is superior quality. I have been gushing about it since I got it and it has been super useful in multiple different ways. Just yesterday it gave me all the light I needed in the middle of a rain storm and stood up to the elements while doing so. Being able to just stick it to something metal and get instant light in just about any direction is also a huge plus. The headlamp itself is not huge to carry around at all but is a bit heavy in my opinion and that is literally the only slightly negative thing I have found to say about this headlamp so far. I LOVE that I can charge it with USB C, that sold me on the lamp in the first place.

This headlight is very high quality, very bright, and will run a very long time. I used it for 7.5 hours on the medium low setting and this is still bright enough to see very well around in a large attic - over 3,000 square feet. In an outside setting, you can see very well at over 100 yards in the woods.

This light is awesome, bright and gets the job done! Game changer! I work amazon and deliver into the night and I’m in the country side sometimes and it’s super dark. Helps keep me safe and see where I’m walking and helps me find addresses in pitch dark areas. I just wished it had strobe light mode like my other headlamp, but it’s okay.

I really like this, provides A TON of light for working in the garage, camping, anything you can think of- it totally illuminated the area. It did start to feel a *tad* bit too heavy about 3 miles into a night hike, and I wish it had a red light option/feature, but other than that, LOVED IT!

Mechanic and I work a lot at night. I can say out of every other brand and even coast brand , this is the best light I've ever owned to date, battery lasts in high mode for about 4 hours, buy a spare and this Will be the last light you will need , head band is comfortable, adjustable , washable, loved the fact light is kept off of head band as if you sweat like I do in summer in Arizona you use a head light and the most common failure is due to sweat entering light housing and eventually shorting out switch or board itself from getting wet, not.a issue with this design, hey coast engineering excellent job with this light. I bought a second in case , still haven't need to use it and this one has been used a lot in the past almost year. Prior lights would burn out from sweating on band as I mentioned after a month max , so it's been better then excellent having to not buy 30 , 40 dollar lights every month

Excellent, only one worth buying!

Recomendadoal 100%

Very disappointed. The torch has broken just outside the month return window. It won't charge and the Coast branded rechargeable battery that comes with it is roughly half the cost of the overall unit. The battery doesn't appear to be sold within the UK and cant be shipped to the UK. This is far too expensive a torch to fail so soon. I have had much cheaper head torches that lasted years.

This is a reasonably priced fantastic, bright, quality headlamp. I have always had led lenser in the past. I couldn't afford one with the specs I required so I purchased this. It has fantastic light output. The battery has amazing longevity before requiring charge. The charging system is convenient, usb c. It comes with an alkaline battery adaptor for when it isn't possible to recharge. The headlamp is comfortable and comes with a lifetime warranty. This is the best purchase I have made in years. I totally recommend it for anyone who requires a great quality, high lumen, comfortable, versatile, affordable headlamp. Truly, you can't go wrong. And you won't be disappointed.
