This is the coolest hands free light I've ever used. The voice activation works perfect everytime. The light is bright as you'd expect. Perfect light for working people who work with their hands.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best headlight for any kind of night activity.

Versatile Voice Activated Headlight!! Purchased this unit to replace my HL8R which is still functioning 100% after 6 years. Need it to move to new things. I jog and walk my dogs a lot during night hours, so for me it is great to activate any feature by just saying a command. Thank you Coast for the great product.

Purchased this for Hood to Coast. Love the voice commands and it was surprising how easily that worked. My first run with the headlamp was a bit awkward. This lamp is a bit heavy and the back light felt odd. I chalked it up to the first use. When I actually used it for HTC, I wore a headband under the lamp for extra cushioning and because it was 4:30 AM, 40*, and raining. It worked and felt great. The light was bright enough to illuminate the very dark forest path so much that I felt confident in where I was going. It wasn’t until my last run, at 2:30 AM, that the lamp died on me. I failed to charge the headlamp when I first ordered it, so the battery was not 100%.
Take aways: I wish the box came with a big bright yellow sign that told you to charge it when you first get it. I also wish the back lamp was on a slightly flexible piece of plastic so it could be better contoured to a persons head. If it could be lighter in general, that would be great, but it’s an amazing lamp with lots going on, so that might not be possible.

I bought this running light specifically for the Hood-to-Coast relay, and it worked perfectly during my two nighttime legs. Easy to use, excellent illumination.

Worth the Coast Cost

This light is small powerful and very durable. This is a second one I've gotten and I would buy another one if I had to. I would highly recommend this light it works great it does everything it's supposed to do and it's very bright you will be able to see at night. Again I will buy another one and will recommend. My flashlight of choice used to be one from a very reputable company that starts with the letter M. But, Ever since I bought my first Coast product some years back I have chosen to buy nothing but coast anytime I need some kind of portable light

Excellent so far (It does seem durable although I've only had it for a little over a month). A Complete headlamp that not only has Flawless Voice Control (that works much better than motion control for my purposes) but furthermore they added the ARC lighting which is an Area Lighting feature than is a separate LED around the perimeter of the headlamp which not only lights your whole area but provides a warmer light, what they call a light of a warmer temperature in the flashlight industry so now you have the option for the traditional coast light which is great very bright white clear and illuminates brightly but is slightly on the colder side (I think this tends to add distance and clarity which is good) but now you have a much warmer light in addition to that, which gives a nice different vibe sometimes. This really completes the headlamp and makes it a complete headlamp considering you have the spotlight option ☄️ the flood light option ⚪ the Green 🟢 Blue 🔵 or Red 🔴 light option - the Voice Control option and the ARC area lighting with the Warmer Light so you have two different light temperatures and all different variations of lighting styles from flood to bright bullseye light. As well as the option for a very long-lasting low lumens light.
The only possible downsides I can see is if you're trying to lay down on your back on a bed with the headlamp for instance to read in a tent before bed, As with all headlamps that have a backside battery pack you would prefer to use a headlamp without a backside battery pack if laying down at night so you buy another Coast headlamp for that scenario, or a Coast standalone LED Lantern Lamp. The only other real critique would be it's not totally waterproof but this isn't the type of headlamp you're going to take underwater anyway and it will hold up to storms plenty well with its water resistance.
They do have waterproof ones I believe the WPH30 or 34, Not sure about that you better verify it.
One last thing I'll say is that the magnetic brightness adjustment knob is it great innovation but could use a little fine tuning. Also, it would be really cool if eventually you could fine tune the Light Temperature but that's probably difficult to do from a circuitry engineering perspective.
But this company has been pushing the envelopes on headlamp innovation so just a thought or suggestion for future headlamp ideas.

The voice activation works GREAT!!!

I bought this lamp for work, after the store closes they turn a lot of the overhead lights off, and stocking product. using the voice activation really comes in handy since my hands are full. "coast flood on" is the most used phrase I use. the versatility of this light is awesome!!!

One of the coolest things I have ever bought. Being able to adjust the light without touching it is great. I often work in dirty, sticky situations and keeping my light clean has always been a problem. No more this light is great.
