Les is great last a long tight time only problem with it is the pack on the back of your head is heavy kind a new that buying it so can’t take away from quality but I’d rather not have the pack on the back of my head because I’m a mechanic and it always seems to want to get in the way

I thought at first that this headlamp would be too heavy to use since it has a battery pack attached to it. The head harness is great and can seemingly fit under a hardhat if necessary. The wiring can be done a little better so that it doesn’t get caught, but otherwise it’s a great product and I’ll use it again for night hikes!

I was certainly not expecting the lamp to be so extravagant. This isn’t a bad thing, it’s sturdy and surprisingly comfortable/lightweight for having a battery strapped to the back of the headstrap. The battery lasts a long time and there’s a good focal range

Hands down with out a doubt the greatest head lamps on the market. The rechargable battery life is absolutely outstanding. I had to buy my self a second one and one for my family members.

Best headlamp I’ve had, but the battery pack wire does get finicky. If they made new battery packs able to plug into the pack itself without the wire I’d buy the AA pack and rechargeable pack right now.

I highly recommend this product! The headset is very comfortable and after wearing it for a brief time you will forget you are wearing it. This is especially important for jobs that longer than a few minutes. The recharge feature is highly appreciated as it cuts down on consumable costs and the twist focus is very effective. I can not recommend this product enough!

A great light and value. This is a really cool headlamp, and I know it will come in handy time and time again. I’m a contractor from south Louisiana it is only a matter of time before a natural disaster will allow me to put it through its paces. It comes with two battery packs, one rechargeable and another to take AA’s. I’m loving it! Very bright and appears to be very durable!

This headlight comes with lots of accessories, such as a rechargeable pack, a regular battery pack, additional chord straps, an additional power cable and everything is of great quality. There are almost no shortcomings, except for the size and heft… It’s on the heavy side and either of the battery packs make it even heavier and bigger. Again, if anything, I can call it “robust” and am very happy with this purchase.The only major downside is that the battery pack takes a VERY long time to recharge.

This is a great headlight for those that are looking to have the ability to light things up a great distance away, but also have the ability to tone it down. Works great for night fishing. I really like having the ability to locate the battery back on my belt or in a pocket.

As usual Coast makes a versatile light. It’s really nice having the lithium ion pack plugged in first then when it dies you can quickly switch to regular batteries while charging the lithium back up. I haven’t had to switch to regular batteries yet since the lithium pack has lasted the 3 to 4 hour runs I’ve kept it on at once. As far as comfort I give it 3 stars though because the band slightly irritates me right ear because it doesn’t quite adjust tight enough on the top to keep the side band from resting on the ear. The light beam is very bright, and I like the dial switch to go between brightness modes as opposed to using the power button like others forcing you to click through all the modes when turning off. This light is just a single click on and single click off.

I love this head light for work. Ya’ll need to know this thing is heavy and not for the amateur camper. However if you wear a head lamp on your hard hats, this is your light. I purchased an extra rechargeable usb pack and have yet to need it in an 8 hour day.
