Needed a good inspection flashlight with a solid spot for EDC. The G26 is perfect for that. I don't even know I'm wearing it most of the time. Subconsciously, I know it's there in its ballistic nylon holster. I probably use the light five or six times a day. It takes two AA batteries and the Coast AA Extreme tend to generate even more lumens. I've used regular alkaline batteries and and rechargeable NiMH. Coast has a rechargeable dual cell battery that I'm looking forward to, but it's been out of stock. Popular I guess.
The light is built well and has two settings. Easy to use. It's only come on accidently once when I exited the truck at a sharp angle and triggered the switch with my leg. No complaints.... though, if I were to suggest an improvement, I'd make the head with a flat spot on one side so it wouldn't roll off of uneven surfaces when laid down, or make an accessory collar that would achieve the same result. With the results I've had so far, and outstanding customer service, I'll be purchasing more Coast products in the future.
Very good light, plus I have not really had a chance to use the light yet for the intense uses like it was meant to be used for,and it is really bright too.
This is a powerful and sturdy all in a sleek rugged case. Has become my go-to light for dog walks and every day use. Nice beam with bullseye really stands out.
Had G26 flashlight for a year and the switch failed. They honored the warranty immediately and quickly provided a replacement at no charge. Great customer service in standing behind their product.
I had 2 older flashlights that i used extensively. After years of use the switches had worn out. Sent them a picture, told them what was wrong and they sent new ones. It doesn't get any better than that!
