Coast XP9R Rechargeable Flashlight

These are fantastic flashlights. They last for hours on a charge and charge quickly.

The Coast XP9R I'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.

I will buy more this thing is great

Overall very good, BUT you have to remove the battery from the flashlight in order to recharge it via USB C. Some other models expose the USB port without having to remove the battery.

This flashlight is ideal because it is modestly bright and has a cute battery that has a built in USBC charger. Remove the battery from the flashlight, attach a USBC cable, attach the cable to a wall wart and the battery will charge. The battery has an led that shows you when the charging is done. The flashlight will also take standard batteries too. This has become my bedside flashlight. This is not a super-bright flashlight. The light is bright enough so you can find things or find your away around the room without tripping. It’s rated at 1000 lumens

Very bright light. I like that you can zoom it in on what you’re looking at. Charging port is hard to find. Works great Battery life is very good.

I work in industrial maintenance and this is probably the 8th or 9th flashlight I've tried, and sofar this one's actually standing up to the task. Bright as heck to light up stuff far away with a great focus beam, but also comes with a dim option for long battery life. (20ish hours)Additionally, being powered by a standard 18650 cell means it's easy to hot swap batteries when they die. Lastly, durability. Sofar this one's better than others I've used, but I also haven't dropped this one 30' yet off a lift. Will definitely be sticking with this one for the Future.

Liked it very much - very bright and ordered again!!

Bueno

Gute Lampe, hat so gesehen aber viel zuviele Optionen wo man dann duchschalten muß oder müsste bis man wieder ausschalten kann! Es gibt aber Gott sei Dank die eine Option wenn man gleich länger auf dem Einschaltknopf bleibt, sowas wie Verstärker, ganz hell und danach kann man ganz einfach ausschalten, weil bisschen wird man ja damit leuchten!!! Per USB aufladen ist ne gute Lösung.

Already Scratched right out of the box. Functionality is good but disappointed. Don’t have the time to return and get a replacement.
