Runs hot

I bought this a while ago and have had the same issues of the light fading after a few minutes that others have had. Being the only light I had on me I tried to keep using it but it heats up so fast that I had a red rectangle mark on my forehead for about an hour afterwards. Just picked up the FL11. Hope that one is better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A convenient and extraordinarily bright light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, this head-mounted light is incredible. The bright setting is blinding and perfect to see the exacting detail you need in a dark or dim setting. You can also opt for a lower-power light that's good for casual lumens when you want to, for example, illuminate surroundings as you walk. Red light and flashing red light settings are ideal to let other folks know where you are without the traditional extra-bright headlamp. Once the strap is adjusted appropriately, the light sits relatively comfortably on the forehead. Highly recommended!

Good little headlamp, particularly for the price.

I got my headlamp about 8 months ago and was pleased with it. It is not my primary / favorite headlamp, but it was bought as a back up. Recently, as stated by other posters, it started to dim out after just a couple of minutes. I reached out to Coast and they took care of it immediately. New headlamp is functioning perfectly and seems brighter than the original one. Thanks Coast for the great service.

Not on Par with other Coast products

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.

Don’t waste your money

I got one of these lights for Christmas this year, the first time I used it it had the dimming issue others have reported. I contacted the warranty dept and they sent me another light. Well I used that light for the first time this morning and it’s a good thing I had a back up because it had the same dimming issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not worth the money. This light was to replace one that was received as a Christmas gift due to the original having and issue of going dim after 10-15 mins of run time. The replacement light has the same issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very disappointed! I didn't have high expectations because it wasn't that expensive but this is ridiculous! Doesn't last long on high quality batteries

Perfect small headlamp

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been wanting a small AAA batt powered headlamp for a while. Got lucky with this one from Coast. It's a small size and is lightweight and has some nice features. The adjustable strap is comfortable to wear and the hinged light design is very nice. Light output is also very nice to do some hands free work in the dark or find your way around a dark campsite. The high output is nice and bright and low is more than adequate for doing work up close. The red light is great and there's an emergency mode but I wish you could switch just to one mode and use it instead of having to scroll through high, low, red, sos, off, all the time. Other than that minor issue I'm happy with it. Will see how long it holds up.
I would recommend this to a friend!
