Great little light
on February 6, 2022
Posted by: Bryan Fender
I bought this last spring and carry it every day. I use it daily and it’s pretty amazing. It’s barely noticeable in my pocket, but not so small I forget about it and ruin it in the washer like a previous light. I got the rechargeable ZX210 battery for it and it puts out a lot of light for such a small size. I like that you can also just power it with a single AA if you need.
The grip makes it easy to hold on to. Still I’ve managed to drop it a few times onto concrete from about 4 or 5 feet off the ground and it’s fine. The clip is nice for fixing it to the brim of a ball cap.
The zoom feature is easy to use one handed, but a couple of times recently when I zoom it’s made the clip just about slide off over my thumb. That could just be user error.
I would probably buy it again if something happened to this one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have 4 of these flashlights and they are used more that any other Coast flashlights. The two way clip is invaluable as is the fact that it only takes 1 AA battery. Bright enough for all indoor uses and with the lithium ion battery, good enough for even outside. I have 8 Coast flashlights ranging up to 1400 lumens, and this is the most usefull.

My wife and I have lived off the grid for nearly forty years. During that time we've gone through a number of flashlights. The HX5 came to us in barter for some work, and we use them quite literally every day, from the time we put on socks in the morning until we turn off our solar-powered LED bedside lamps at night. One is in our pocket at all times to help navigate our way through the less well lit parts of the log house we live in. We like their brightness, their smooth operation, the option to clip it to a ball cap brim. We put them through a lot of use. The HX5, in our household vernacular, is a "journeyman tool," one that knows its job and does it, not some part-timer who might not be there when needed. We are both old enough to remember when companies took real pride in their products, and made them to last. This company's standards are old and honorable: "Make it as though you're going to use it."

Unreliable, but great features

from Everett, wa
Immediately out of the box the flash light wouldn't work in mild cold temps, talking summer and fall mornings. It's not the battery. Which is too bad, I like the size and features. I wouldn't be as disappointed by the malfunction if it weren't for the price point.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Dan,
I do apologize but it does sound like you might have received a defective unit. Luckily, the HX5 does come with a Lifetime Warranty. If you have not done so already, please contact us at 1-800-426-5858 or via email at support@coastportland.com and a Customer Success agent would be happy to cover how to get a warranty claim started.

Great Product and warranty service is just as they promised on their packaging, I highly recommend HX5 mini-flash light, the duration of service from this flashlight is great on just one AA battery design and the illumination and beam adjustment with two settings is very good as well. Buy it you wont regret it
