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!
Best light ever! Now on my third one...lost the first and the lense on the second is very hazy(scratched)but still works, I am now going to keep a vinyl cap over the lense on the new one when in my pocket. I keep this clipped in my front pants pocket and the only down fall this almost perfect inspection light has is that occasionally I have bumped the switch and drained the batteries( gives a whole new meaning to hot pocket), I have worn it with a plastic cap ( from a roll of copper tubing) on the switch end thru 3 lights now! It works but is not esthetically pleasing. COAST are you listening! Recess the switch and lense ends to protect these components from accidental turn ons and scratches from pocket contents. 2mm on the switch end and 4 mm more on the lense end should do it, this could even be made to be a “Tactical” addition and then Coast would have the most perfect EDC inspection light available at a reasonable price. Now get to it and conquer the market!
I bought this yesterday and it stopped working 15 mins after I opened, I tried to replace the batteries but to no success. I don't think it is a burnt bulb because of the bright LED it has. I just got frustrated because I love the sleek pen like, pocket sized design. and now I have lame metal tube with a button on the back, I bought one for my sister last year and hers works great. I am guessing I just lucked out with a lemon.

Hello,
We are sorry to hear that your light stopped working so quickly after you purchased it! Please call our Warranty Department at 1-800-426-5858 and we'll replace it with a new light!
This inspection light is very useful for the car when out camping or it's dark outside and you looking for something in the car. It can be used to do a lot of things but I personally use it for the car. It works great, comes with coast batteries and it is very durable.
