Bright light and perfect for my needs. With the clip it stays fastened to my pocket without worries about it falling out. When my last coast penlight broke they were prompt about getting me a replacement item. Super happy with my purchase!

All You Need To Know

Full Disclosure: Coast provided me this G20 in order for me to test out. But, everything I will talk about here is my own opinion.
Coast Portland was not given copy approval nor any editorial input in this review. That means, they're reading this review for the first time along side you.
These are the topics I will cover. Skip to whatever corresponding number in order to read about that specific topic and find what you are looking for.
1) Build Quality/Overview
2) Weight
3) Operation and Modes
4) Charging Port
5) Charging and Battery
6) Performance On Lithium-ion Battery
7) Charge Time/Battery Satistics
8) Final Thoughts
The Individual Topics Begin Here:
1) Build Quality/Overview:
• The light feels premium in the hand with smoothish knurling
• It is entirely made of anodized aluminum
• The tail cap unscrews in order to remove the battery
• The button is a high travel, stiff, mushy, high positive tactile button with a rubber cap over it
2) Weight:
• 2.19 oz (62 grams). That's about the weight of 11 United States Quarters
3) Opperation and Modes:
• The operation of the light is controlled by one button on the back of the light
• There is only one mode
• There is no momentary on mode
4) Charging Port:
• No charging port built into the light itself. Instead, there is a Micro-USB charging port built into the optional ZX110 battery
5) Charging and Battery:
• The light is powered by 2 alkiline AAA batteries. It can also run on the Coast ZX110 lithium-ion rechargeable battery
• The ZX110 battery is a 10900 cell
• The ZX110 battery has a built-in Micro- USB charging port and a charging indicator on the top of the battery
• A solid red light indicates charging and a solid green light indicates the battery is fully charged
6) Performance On Lithium-ion Battery:
• I didn't notice any performance/brightness increase when running it on the optional ZX110 battery
7) Charge Time/Battery Satistics:
ZX110:
Rated Capacity: 600 mah
Tested Capacity: 653 mah
Built-In USB On Battery:
Charge Speed: 302 mah
Time: 2 hours 24 minutes
8) Final Thoughts:
Put simply, this is a simple generic pen light. Nothing too special here to note. The G20 has a unique inspection beam which is basically just a narrow perfectly circular even beam of light. It has no hot spot in the center. Although, for me, it is a bit too dim for my applications. For me, the HP3r is a much better fit.
The G20 is nearly identical to the HP4 interms of build, size, and operation. The only differences being the HP4 being much brighter and having a Bulls-Eye beam pattern with a hot spot instead of the inspection beam pattern on the G20. Overall, it is a well built pen light that is rather affordable.

Exactly What I Needed

I work in an automotive assembly plant and do occasional repairs and needed a small solid light to see in dark/tight places in vehicles and this light is perfect. I use it way more than I ever thought I would and its always right in my shirt pocket and does not weigh me down. My co-worker saw me use it and showed up to work with the same one two days later!
Its lightweight, durable, and have used it for about two months and havent had to swap the batteries. The solid edge inspection light keeps you focused on what you need to see.

Outstanding Light...Even Better Customer Service
on July 30, 2021
Posted by: Rich
Gender:Male
Verified Purchase:Yes
The G20 is an excellent, very bright inspection light. While this is not the light you need for distances, it works extremely well for close up work (>8-10'). When I first bought it, I wasn't sure how much I'd actually use it, but now use it several times a day. This review is actually on a replacement. The switch on my first G20 sometimes needed a tap to get it to turn on. I contacted COAST and was immediately shipped a replacement, no questions asked. This type of customer service is rare these days and they've earned a customer for life.
I would recommend this to a friend!
