Excellent headlamp

I’ve been using this headlamp for about a month now and have been loving it. As a rancher there are many times your hands are dirty and you constantly turning your headlamp on or off with your hands means your face getting dirty. With the voice activation this problem was solved. Also love the fact you can send it straight to the red light instead of having to flip through other colors before reaching red. This will come in handy for photographers that develop their own film and require a red light and also in outdoor situations with animals you don’t want to spook with white light. And of course when you’re out at night with others and don’t want to blind them when y’all are talking. The back light is a nice touch making this really great for anything where you want to be seen. From morning walks to working on a vehicle on the side of the road at night; that red light makes you visible to others behind you. Which could save your life. The light is super bright and can last me about a week without charging depending on what I do that week. The only thing I would like to see added to this would be a strap that goes across the top of your head to keep the headlamp from sliding down in instances when you jump down as was done with the WPH34R (which I love and highly recommend as well). I have not experience much slippage with this light but because I’m mindful to not really jolt it. Overall this is an amazing light at a great price and I plan on buying more. The additional head strap would be a nice improvement though!
This headlamp is awesome! We are a farming family and long time COAST customers, owning several headlamps. This headlamp exceeded my expectations. The voice control feature works very well. It's a huge help to be able to control my head lamp without touching it, as my hands are often dirty or in gloves. The variety of colors available and ability to dim is a huge perk. The battery life is long and recharges quickly. I highly recommend this head lamp!
I was kind of skeptical when I first saw this product, I was definitely wrong. Besides The coolness factor this light is very handy. Greasy hands, you don't have to dirty up your light and forehead. Hands full, no need to set stuff down. Want too easily change the lighting, just ask it. The voice control recognizes the commands easily even when I ask quietly. The colored lights are bright enough to see but are still stealthy. I've used it quite a bit and haven't had to recharge it yet so I can't say what the run time is. The spot and flood are nice and bright. The head band is well designed with a sleeve for the wire to run through. A lot packed into a nicely sized headlamp.
I’ve used this several times and I am impressed with the voice control. It really helps when you can’t use your hands to turn the light on or change from low to high. I might have to get one for my son-in-law before he takes it away from me.
The Coast voice-controlled headlamp stands out as an exceptional tool. Remarkably, it responds to my commands even through a full-face respirator. With its powerful beam, it illuminates the darkest corners of crawl spaces and expansive attics alike. As a home inspector, this headlamp is an indispensable addition to my toolkit. The rechargeable battery reliably lasts all day, ensuring I’m never left stranded or stressed in a remote corner of a crawl space. Its multiple lighting modes, easily switched without complicated button sequences, are a significant advantage. I highly appreciate Coast lights for their reliability and performance, ensuring I’m never left in the dark during any job.
I got this headlamp a couple weeks ago and have been using it at work, and honestly I never thought a voice activated light was something I would ever need. It almost sounded gimmicky at first, but after using it a bit I found out just how handy it is! I am a field mechanic for construction equipment so my hands are constantly full of oil and dirt and not having to reach up and turn my headlamp on and off and smear it full of dirt has been awesome. The voice commands do respond pretty well even in noisy environments, just make sure you annunciate what command you are giving, don't try to mumble it. Lots of light modes to choose from, not sure when I would need the blue and green, but the flood and spot versions of red and white give you lots of flexibility. Overall, I am very happy with this light, I would highly recommend it to anyone that works with their hands and doesn't always have a free one to switch on a light.
I've had this product for around 3 weeks now, and I'm still blown away by it everyday. Its been crazy busy, so this review took longer than i intended. That said, its been through its testing and then some. I spend my week in people's attics, crawlspaces, and basements. It provides me with the perfect lighting for every job I've used it for so far. Out of a 40 hour week, this light probly burns 20-25 hours of that. I also have a dog who overheats super easy, so we have to walk at night. It provides more than adequate light, and a taillight too, for safety. Although I haven't found much use for the voice control features, they work flawlessly when I do need them. And so far, as with any of my coast lights, it's reliable and well built/solid. Over the 20 years I've been using primarily coast products, the only one that has ever failed, actually went for a swim in a molten iron bath. So it didn't fail, I guess I did. The only thing that would make this light better would be to add a little fun and have the voice commands be customizable. Amazing product, absolutely 100% recommend to literally anybody.
I’ve had this headlamp for several weeks. It is amazing! The voice control is next level! No matter how you say the commands the headlamp understands. Being able to voice command the light type (Coast Arc, Coast flood) is so helpful. I was processing an indoor crime scene and making that light change (from flood to arc) made all the difference. The easy change from wide area lighting to spot lighting without hands is next level. The battery life is excellent! I’ve used this consistently for most of the night working and the battery held without issue. I have changed the light color (red, white, blue, green) by voice and it easily understands what I am saying without having to perfectly enunciate my words. This headlamp is awesome! I cannot remember this enough!
