I am a plumber and need a light that I can operate with one hand. The Coast G26 is that light. It is also small enough to put into my mouth if I need both hands while using the light. (Sounds a bit gross, but that is the reality of working with ones hands in dark places.). The light stays good for week and lets me know when it is time to change batteries.
I originally bought a G25, but was upgraded to the G26 when the G25 was exchanged under warranty. COAST stands behind its warranty and the upgraded G26 demonstrates the constant improvement that COAST brings to its product line. Same size and weight as the G25, but it casts the light further, brighter and more focused using the same 2 AA batteries. With a double click of the switch you get a 2nd lower brightness level for when extra bright is unnecessary. Winters in Canada are long and dark and the G26 goes with me everywhere.
I had old G25 flashlight that I had for some time, when the push button failed, my son in law told me they have a life time warranty. So I filed a claim and Coast sent me a G26 - I could not be happier - it is better than my old G25 - thanks Coast
