Basic is better

This tiny HX5 is ideal for pack it and forget it. Just be sure to remove the batteries for long term storage. It's nice to have a non rechargeable option for everyday use where you can simply add a few extra AAs to a backpack to keep it going, not to mention it's also able to work with rechargeable batteries as well for an even higher power output. Definitely a must have no nonsense option. I've had my HX5 for more than 6 years. The lifetime warranty honors any issues.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really like the hat clip

I received this device approximately a month ago, and it has proven to be an invaluable companion. It has become my essential daily carry (EDC) since its acquisition. The battery life is exceptional, and the device emits a remarkably bright light.

Small, bright, well made, and a lifetime warranty. Use the clip a lot also . Frees both hands for repair on cars and plumbing jobs where lighting is dim or non existent.

Owned one of these for 10 years. Was going to have it repaired when switch button acted up . Before I could send it in I misplaced it. Darn. So I bought another one. Can’t be happier.

Solid performing light

No 17-bullet dissertation or a “what I wish this light had” review. There are other lights with different features, sizes and lumens. If you had expectations that this light will burn out the retinas of local wildlife at 100 yards you bought the wrong light. This is not what it was designed for.
This is a solid, general-purpose light to toss in your center console, glove box, purse or backpack for any time you need light. This flashlight is well-crafted using quality components, and at an awesome price point. The 180+ lumens (battery dependent) provide good lighting in the immediate area and the smooth focus function performs as designed to evenly distribute the light from a spot to a soft flood. The multipurpose pocket clip allows clipping to the bill of a hat for hands-free illumination. Decently sized to use with gloves but small enough to EDC in a pocket, easy to operate with the simple tail switch and the smooth focus function.

I had an HX5 for over 10 years of daily hard use. I always had it in my pocket and don’t know how anyone could manage without one in their pocket. Lots of light, reliable and durable. I had worn the paint thin on it from use. It finally stopped working after all those years and Coast honored their warranty and replaced it. I can certainly say that I am satisfied with the product and the company.
I recommend both to everyone.

I have been using coast products for the past eight years in my daily work. The HX5 offers an adjustable light beam, multi-use carrying clip which can attach to the brim of your hard hat or easily fits in any pocket and comes with a lifetime replacement warranty.
