Lots of light, excellent value

I've always thought Coast products are an excellent value. I tried a G26 flashlight because of its high lumen outputs on high and low and bought silver so it wouldn't get lost in a drawer, pack, etc. Batteries are sold everywhere. I like the on-off, fixed beam features; not a lot to go wrong.
This is not a hard use light, but is very good all around. If you need a hard use light, pay more money and get a real tactical light. The G26 is excellent to keep in a drawer, hall closet or anywhere you will need a flashlight. When you need light, more is better. At the high 415 lumen output, the G26 easily illuminates objects 50-60 yards away even when competing with ambient street light. The lower 150 or so output is not bad. You may want to buy the available belt case from Coast if you're carrying in a backpack to prevent the light from turning on accidentally.
Construction is good, size is small and light output is as good or better than a lot of bulkier, heavier lights. When younger, I spent a lot of time outdoors and used a lot of different flashlights. This was pre-headlamp days. I like the G26 so much I bought a 2nd for a spare.

I bought this exact G26 flashlight from my local hardware store years ago and it still works great (rare for any flashlight these days) so I found Coast online and just got another one for a much better price - glad to have one now for another room.

Got this as a warranty replacement for my G25 which I purchased in 2014 ish. The bulb was getting flunky but it’s been used a lot. Warranty service was fast and the G26 is a step up. Thank you Coast!

This was a replacement for one of the flashlights that the switch broke. I was amazed at how simple it was to ask for a new light. And now that I have this new one it is just amazingly bright. I could not be more pleased.
