Same day I bought and it stop working under 5 minutes, doesn’t do anything. I change the batteries and it didn’t work either. Batteries fall off is like they don’t stick to the lamp. If I could give 0 stars I would. Lost my money, my time and no lamp.
It plainly says dual power, built in usb port and charge indicator and it has none of these! I mean really?? This really kinda sucks! It was also a gift and he also thought it had all those things and was rechargeable and it’s definitely not and that’s just not good business at all!!
Highly recommend this headgear lamp.So many uses for this hands-free source of light is a toolbox or tacklebox favorite of mine.I use it more then i thought i would when i purchased it almost 5 years ago for working inside vessels of chemical plants. Loved that it had hardhat clips i could buy that adapt to the strapping on the headlight so it wont slide off.The swivel, or tilt action is the best ive found in any HL that ive came across. No flopping back and forth. And stays in the position I set it at so i can finish my job and use my hands to get it done. Battery life is great as well Completely water proof to rain and splashes of water. Dont think its depth proof for water?3 settings of brightness help me prolong battery life or just kick in the super bright setting to make walking in the high grass a bit more at ease for me.I love my headgear light i keep mine on my gearshift in my truck for easy access on the move.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Mitchell,
Thank you for the great review! I did want to quickly clarify that although weatherproof, the FL13 is not designed to be submerged under water.
It does good but the plastic piece brakes and stuff.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Kathy! The FL13 comes with a Lifetime Warranty. If you do experience any pieces breaking, please reach out to our Customer Success team directly at 1-800-426-5858 or via email at support@coastportland.com.
Based on my experience with other Coast products, which have always provided excellent light quality and features, this headlamp fails to deliver. Had I read the reviews here first I likely would have passed on this product. The switch, which has a huge press surface, I find it only works when pressing directly on the extreme right side of the button area which is not handy when it is on your head. Additionally as noted by others the light intensity is nearly useless. My son and I were helping fill sandbags for flood efforts here in Chilliwack and I had to resort to my handheld light which hampered my efforts. Coast's more expensive lights probably provide better performance.
i bought three of these for my family. we went through an entire 18 pack of batteries in a matter of a few hours.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
