Customer Reviews for Coast - G26 330 lm Black LED Flashlight AA Battery

Nice smaller light , I use it mostly to see into small spaces being a mechanic. I like the way is does both- a bright inside circle with extra light around. Sometimes there are obstacles and can't point the light exactly where I want to see, so the extra light circle really helps.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Have had many of these “redesigned” G26 flashlites, every one has gone back to Coast for repair/ replacement.
Main problem: Tube gets excessively warm during use, batteries (from Coast) leak acid inside tube. Are these problems related? IDK.
I’m not a flashlite engineer, but, I DO know when something gets hot, it is consuming energy.
Apparently, the problem has not been resolved, the new ones do the same thing.

Perfect Light for Me, Durable, Bright!

I had been looking for a flashlight that had these features: Fixed Beam, AA Batteries, End Switch, 100+ lumen, and 2 or less intensity settings. (I am not into rechargeable or special size batteries, or going thru 5 different intensities to get HIGH.)
I had purchased a replacement for a discontinued 100 Lumen product from a competitor I had gotten 10 years ago that had a MSRP Twice of the G26, I started with the G25 and was very impressed with that item, and then I purchased several G26's, and all I can say is WOW...Its BRIGHT, very durable, turns on to HIGH on first click every time, has an easy to use end "clicky switch" (beats the heck out of the "twist on" style small lights) I have literally dropped mine 25 feet to the concrete, and dropped a G25 into antifreeze and thought it was "done" well I was wrong...the thing keeps working flawlessly!
I don't use them all daily, so I use only "Lithium AA Batteries" that are available everywhere (brand "E"), they are about 2x the price of standard AA...BUT...they don't leak and have a 10 year shelf life, they also last 2-3 times as long as standard alkaline.
I have given MANY away as gifts, because I like to give practical gifts that are high quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Frustrated w/G25 flashlight

Bought this for my mother two months ago. Came back to visit and it wasn't working. Very difficult to get the end off to check the batteries - had to gently use pliers. The top battery was so corroded I couldn't dig the batteries out of the cylinder.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Small light the size of a thick marker. For 330 lumens it’s very bright. Low and high setting
