Very bright and the option of AAA batteries is great in a pinch. Battery recharge is quick and easy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Less than expected

Light doesn't shine as bright as advertised and the spotlight beam isn't near compact enough to even call it a spot light.

Spotbeam is useless

The product description sounded good, but the product does not live up to expectations. The spot beam is useless it doesn't focus tight enough. I need a flashlight that can do both flood light and spot light. It also doesn't seem as bright as advertised. For the money they charge I'm very disappointed. You got a problem when cheap generic alternatives on that shopping web site beats this product in performance.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Warranty, brightness, easy to change,

I use this light at night mostly in the bedroom and the living area. The light is heavier than present one ( my wife and I each have a smaller version).
Because of my eyesight, I have a problem finding the off/on switch, in the dark, it is present ones, it is at the end.. I will keep it and place in console of my truck. It is a very quality light, very well constructed.

I absolutely love this light

I really like this light. I think it may be one of the best size to lumen ratio when it comes to COAST flashlights. Not too big and bulky but still incredibly bright at an impressive 4000 lumens on turbo. Even high mode 2300 lumens is sustainable and i love that.
Of course being so powerful yet so small it does drain the included 5000mAh Zithion ZX955 battery rather quickly which has been updated from 4000 to 5000mAh by the way. But what i love about this flashlight is that any other ordinary 21700 cell will work just fine with it. Obviously you'd need to use a cell of good quality in such a powerful flashlight and I've noticed that you may need to add a small neodymium magnet to the negative pole of the battery in order for a good connection to be made with the tailcap as the original Coast ZX955 protected 21700 battery that comes with it is a bit longer than normal unprotected 21700 batteries. However this is not a big deal at all. It is definitely much nicer than having a property 21700 battery like the ZX1000 found on the PX11R. As while it is a 21700 battery it has multiple ring contacts on the negative pole and thus a normal 21700 cell is not compatible in that flashlight. This is not the case here. This is definitely much more convenient when you need to use the Flashlight for extended periods as recharging and taking multiple standard 21700 batteries is much easier then dealing with property batteries.
As far as other features go the Flashlight has 5 modes in total along with the turbo. Including a very useful 60 lumen "moon glow" mode which can run for up to 60 hours. The only thing I don't like is that this is the last setting in the settings cycle to get to. So you have to press the button 3 times going through medium high and low in order to get to it. It would've been much more convenient if it was the first or second option. Or alternatively hidden away in a quick toggle option like a quick double or triple click as it can be rather annoying having to go through some really bright modes in the middle of the night when only a tiny bit of light may be needed.
The build quality of the light is excellent and the Flashlight has 2 USB-C ports built-in. One is for recharging the ZX955 battery and the other is so that you can use the Flashlight as a power bank to recharge other devices like your cell phone.
I actually have the XP46R which is bigger brother of this flashlight. Same exact flashlight as the XP40R just a different model number as the XP46R has a charging port on the removable battery. The light is otherwise exactly the same just with a different model number. I've always liked that flashlight but i thought it was a bit on the big size. This XP20R is more or less exactly what i was looking for. It's half the length and significantly lighter than the XP46R which can be seen in the photos I've attached.
Overall i was quite impressed by this XP20R flashlight and i definitely think it is well worth it. This flashlight will definitely be seeing a lot of use around my property. Soom feature is very nice and handy and you can lock it into a fixed focus position by twisting the head. It's a nicely designed and well built flashlight overall backed with COAST's limited lifetime warranty and i can definitely recommend it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Powerful and impressive light !

Just doing my review now on this because I wanted to put it through some real world testing forms couple months but my conclusion is the same as when I opened the box. This is a.well built top quality light that won't disappoint! I rely on my flashlights and expect them to perform as advertised and coast has not let me down like many others have. This light is packed with features that are very nice to have like the twist lock focus , the ability to power other devices via the USB in and out ports is super handy . Charging without removing batteries is wonderful
Lots of thoughtful things go into the design of this light that you don't realize are so great until you don't have them..coast flashlights have raised my expectations of what should be expected when you purchase a flashlight.. I can say confidently that the durability of this surpasses my expectations. I've dropped it in the snow, gotten it wet , dropped from the rafters in my shop hitting the concrete below and not a single flicker or hiccup whatsoever .this is one I will have for many years and don't worry when I go walk my dogs in the woods at night if this is going to make it or will run out of battery before we're done. The battery life is incredible, it puts off a seriously bright light and is more than enough for anything I've asked of it now in a few months of use daily .the battery life continues to be as it was new it's not lost it's capacity like some other batteries do. All in all of say it is one of my best flashlights in my collection and that says a lot but I seem to reach for this one over the others without a second thought . Your not going to find a better light at a better price with a better build quality than this . Makes a great gift if you really wanted to impress someone who is difficult to shop for..flashlights are always a great choice. For this I will say 10 out of 10. And the only thing I would change would be a tail switch location rather than on the side but it's just personal preference and not a.complaint..thanks again COAST for another amazing product!

Great durable light that can handle what most can'

I use the Coast XP20R daily as a security contractor working nights mostly, and it’s been rock solid. The brightness is excellent, especially when I need to light up large areas or focus in tight spots. It’s durable, holds a charge well, and the adjustable beam is a huge plus. Easily one of the best work flashlights I’ve used. Highly recommend!
