This little light is great for my evening walks and tasks around the house. It's bright enough to alert oncoming traffic from a distance while providing a useful range of light for around the house and yard. It's lightweight, fits well in your hand, and durable.
I'm experiencing issues with the low/med/high setting button. Sometimes it only turns the light on/off, sometimes it cycles only two settings. Is there some magic to getting it to use all on/off/low/med/high?
I bought the polysteel 200 for work, as I'm a floor tech and have to look for spots on carpet. And the extremely bright beam was more tha up for the challenge. Would buy more for backup or gifts.
I bought this as a spare light, I keep it in my lunch box. Mine is the older one that only puts out 250 lumens, I noticed it was not as bright as some of my other lights (also Coast brand) at long distance, but at working distance it was brighter at the same focus. I loaned it to a coworker and he said it was bright. The poly housing fills good in your hand, but the metal lights are more compact. Overall, I am very happy with this light.
I have had this flashlight several weeks. It looked rugged. Dropped it on the bathroom floor and it no longer works. Did not save receipt at Walmart and they did not have a replacement. I have used flashlights during my 27 years of law enforcement and this product is sub-standard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
