Coast PX20 Dual Color 315 Lumen LED Flashlight, Black

Had a light from coast that was virtually the same for years. Used it every day. Buttons finally wore out and needed a new one. The light is bright white light. Great indoors. Ok outside but does not reach far away. But not designed to. More powerful lights are needed for this. But out to 50ft or so ok. But is a broad beam light. Not a narrow spotlight. So in my opinion ok as I only use this as a close up light indoors, the garage, closets or letting the dog out and keeping an eye on them close to the house. Red light great for night time. Use it frequently to go to the bathroom at night or to the kitchen and not have to turn on the white light so I wouldn't blinded turning it on in the dark. Its durable metal case lasts and is well made. Only down side is battery only lasts as long as described on their site. I use rechargeable batteries in mine. I use Eneloop pro in mine and recharge them in the day and ready to go at night. I recharge maybe once a month. If light is heavily used it may need recharged sooner. This light has no clip on it to attach to pocket or shirt pocket though. Bought a light from coast that was slightly large that had that. I love these little lights and would recommend them.

Works well. Make well. Had one for 3 years, but I dropped it on a tile floor and the bright light stopped working. The red works fine. Use this in the field when I'm taking pictures of the stars. Primarily I use the red, but there are times when I need the white light, especially when setting up or breaking down.

1st, I had 2 G45 Coast flashlights since 2008 when they 1st came out (16 years they lasted, and 1 still works intermittenly). I am just now replacing them with this newer Px version. This px version is almost the same except the px has much brighter led's, and they are bright white leds (6000k sunlight? ) instead of the old blue led's. Even the Red light is way better than the old was. Easy to press button, that wont press accidentally in jeans or lunchbox. Waterproof o-rings. Handy belt/pocket clip. Aluminum body and caps. I am even using the same AAA rechargeable batteries (2 anyway) from 2008/9, so I know that the batteries dont drain in the flashlight when it is not being used much. The only cons I can think of is that these Px versions dont come with a lanyard, and trying to get an old or new lanyard is too tight for me to get on in the new px, and the rechargeable batteries are a smidge larger than regular batteries, and are a bit difficult to remove from the cage (but the same is true for any flashlight with aa or aaa cages, so not a negative, just stating that in case it can be a neg to someone. Also, use a plastic card or similar when removing batteries that are too tight or risk breaking the battery open. I use a plastic plaster knife I have). I also have a Coast D-cell's flashlight that I got at the same time I got the old g-series flashlights, and it is doing just fine in all these 16 years, so I know how durable Coast flashlights are (well, except for the pen light I got for free when I got the 3-D-cell-flashlight. That pen light didnt last a year, but it was a free light). Definitely reccomend Coast flashlights. Here is to another 16 years not having to buy a flashlight again.

This is my third Coast Dual-Color flashlight. I'm an early-morning runner and always carry this light. The fact that it's dual color (red and white) is important for me. The red light is always on and it shines not too bright. I use the brighter white light when I need to light the area. This has been a good reliable flashlight ... lightweight and easily carried in ones hand, with or without gloves. This flashlight, however, had a problem ... the red light switch did not work and I was considering returning it. But, I was able to fix it. A spanner nut that is part of the light and switch assembly was too tight. The red switch would "stick" when pressed. I loosened slightly the spanner nut and that fixed the issue.

Excellent light! It is one of Coast’s less expensive models. I do own some of the more expensive ones, but I have to say this one is my preference for walking outside at night. This light is very bright and has a long focus distance on its lens, so it is more suitable for outside use. You’ll get a brighter spotlight at 150 feet compared to higher lumen flashlights that lack the focus for outdoor use. Plus, the red night-vision option is perfect for walking at night. Just bright enough so that you can see where you are going. Another thing must be mentioned: Coast flashlights have an *excellent* light quality (CRI) compared to cheaper LED flashlights. Take a Coast flashlight and point it at a tree at night: the leaves will actually look green. Take a cheapo LED flashlight, point it at the same tree, and the leaves will just look bluish-gray. I like the fact that the lens focus is fixed. Frankly, the Coast flashlights with adjustable focus are just a pain in the neck outdoors. Their focus always changes when the flashlight is in your pocket. Comparing this PX20 flashlight with the similar-size (but more expensive) PX1R model rechargeable flashlight, the PX1R is designed more for indoor use. Even though the PX1R has an adjustable lens, even at maximum distance you can’t get the nice spotlight you get with this PX20. (And the lack of a red option makes it less ideal for night walking.) Bottom line: Excellent quality light, and very bright. Out of the several Coast flashlights I own, this is the one I find myself using the most often (especially outdoors) even though it is the least expensive.

I bought this for use in my flight bag since there are situations where you don’t want a bright white flashlight but still need some light. While other flashlights make you cycle through several white light settings this light offers a separate option for the red lighting which helps preserve night vision. I also like that the seperate buttons are distinctly different with the white lighting which helps being textured and the red being smooth so I have no doubt which light I’m switching on even if I can’t see the button.

This is a great little flashlight. I keep one by my bed. The red color is perfect for getting up in the middle of the night and not being blinded. It's easy to find the red button by knowing where it is relative to the pocket clip. I move the clip so that when it's against my finger tips the red button is under my thumb. Lots of LED flashlights have problems with the buttons failing, but Coast seems to have solved this problem. I have two Coast headlights as well and all buttons work well. There is a minor problem with the battery holder: one of the spiral springs that connects from one battery to the other isn't well secured to the holder and can come loose, causing a poor connection. Mine actually fell out when I went to change batteries and it took me quite a while to figure out how to put it back in position. While a problem, it's not enough to knock a star off of my rating.

Overall it is a good light. I walk every day in the dark before work. I like having a light that has both white and red light especially with separate buttons for each. The white light is great when I want to see what is making noise around me. But the red light that I normally use to light the trail when needed is lacking. It is very dim and is only good for a few feet.

Comes with 3 AAA batteries included. I ordered another one. Recommended.

Excelente lampara, como todas las de COAST, buenos acabados y el haz de luz es de los mejores, en relacion a su precio, ya tengo varias de esta marca y son muy buenas. Gracias.

A few issues with this product. The lanyard hole is not large enough to fit 550 paracord through it. It would be better if the button was a dual switch on the end rather than two individual bottoms on the side.

Excellent for my work where i need red light, but also need the white light from time to time. Separate buttons is awesome!

The product description is a little misleading as I got the newer 315-lumen model and not the older 125-lumen model. Not a problem for me though as I expected this from reading the other reviews and I prefer this newer 315-lumen model anyway. >Soldid metal build with two switches for both red and white light >The white light has only one high output mode and no low output mode >the red light is used for reading in low light without making you night-blind >Runs for around an hour in white light mode >Uses 3 AAA and comes along with 3 Duracell AAA batteries >Has a pretty small footprint at 11.8 CM long and weighing 98 grams I got my flashlight from Mayatra Enterprises for INR 2,299.00 with free shipping.
