I bought my first HX5 a while back and it's become my trusty little sidekick ever since. It puts out plenty of light, doesn't need special batteries, and doesn't have multiple effects- which I do not need. It is durable and I love the sliding focus. It sometimes gets a little unreliable when it decides not to come on, but that's a relatively rare occurrence. And, the belt clip broke on me for no good reason. I replaced the belt clip because I wanted to stick with the light. I probably could have bought a Chinese-made light for near the same price as the clip, but I didn't do it. I like that Coast is a U.S. company, but not only because of that but because they have good, fast customer service and make good products. I recently bought the 600R light, which I am also very happy with, so far.

Love the flashlight. It failed in the first month. It was a replacement for the one I bought, which lasted about a year. The customer service is excellent.

I want everyone to know the coast HX5 is simply awesome. I am a mechanic and I use the light probably 6 out of 8 hours a day and I will get at least 3 days off one battery. It’s small enough to fit in my shirt pocket and it’s not heavy at all. It clips on the bill of my hat for hands free use and is very bright for a single battery light. In my opinion you can’t go wrong with the HX5. I’ve put it to the test and it’s passed every one. I would highly recommend it to anyone and coast is a company that has earned my business (great company)

This small flashlight is a great size. The led is very bright. The dual clip for attachment is a good design. I wish the battery life was a little bit longer but that would be hard at this form factor and brightness. I had a problem with the switch but it was quickly rectified by contacting the Coast warranty department who sent out a replacement very quickly.
