It's a solid flashlight

This is one of many high power flashlights that I own. This is definitely the brightest! I have another one similar in power but I noticed this has more of a daylight white than blue tint. The beam is very wide at max aperture. At max zoom, I do wish it would focus in a little tighter as it's not much of a spot beam. Still very useful though. The mechanism to focus the lens works just fine. It stays put and doesn't move at all. I keep this in my backpack when I go to work so it gets banged around a lot. There is some wear on the finish but that's not surprising as all my other flashlights show the same wear. I will say one thing I noticed was that the lens has not gotten scratched up or chipped at all like my other flashlights. Another thing I like is that this flashlight is very compact for it's power output. I did a test to see if the manufacturer claims for length of time were accurate and they were spot on. I left the flashlight on high power and it literally turned off within a couple minutes of it's rated 2 hours and 45 minutes. During that test I held the flashlight to see how hot it got and nowhere on the flashlight did it burn or hurt to hold. Overall very satisfied with this product and would definitely recommend.

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.

Great quality and features.

I only had it for a week and WOW!!! The built and quality is exceptionally well thought out. Great broad peripheral vision on flood mode setting and substantial observable assessment on spot mode while performing general visual inspection of an aircraft exterior on ground. The beams luminescent power has excelled while utilizing in the downpour of rain. Superb battery life output and the accommodation of having a dual power to use alkaline battery in need is a very good option in unexpected event. An amazing light that elevated the complexities of my duties involved.

Durable and easy to use

I received this to field test in my everyday life and it withstood what I threw at it. Let me first say that the no-roll feature saved it from certain death when I left it on my tailgate and drove about a mile to 7-11. I was shocked to see it was still there! Great add-on, guys! I haven't even charged it yet, got it about a week ago and use it several times a day for any task needing a light source or just to add additional light and it's still at 75% charge! AMAZING! It's durable, weatherproof and packs a little heft but not so much to be annoyingly heavy. I seriously love it so much I sleep with it in reach at night now! Definitely a bargain for the money and of course, with a lifetime guarantee Coast hit it outta the park on this one. Great product, highly recommended and great addition to any toolbar, glove box or tacklebag.

A high-quality, reliable, do-it-all flashlight

Having received this as part of the field testing program, I really wanted to give it some thorough use and see if it lived up to everything on its product page. Not only did it do everything it said it would, it did with ease and was a treat to use the whole time. I used it for a few days around the house and in the outdoors, and it worked wonderfully for both. The brightness settings and beam distance are really, really nice and give you all the visibility you need, plus the option to use it as a power bank is helpful when you forget to charge up other important things. After that, I brought it to work to see how it could hold up to the boiling hot, icy cold, dusty, greasy, wet, dark environments of a steel mill, and it didn't disappoint one bit. The different brightness and focus settings were incredibly useful (from distant inspections with the high setting to reading prints with moonglow) and the flashlight took all of those environmental factors and (unintentional) impacts without hesitation. Not once in my week or so of use did I have to charge it up either, the battery life is pretty incredible and just keeps on going.
Overall, this flashlight straight up rocks for any use you can find for it. From general to outdoors to high stress work use, it takes it all and does it reliably and with ease. The only thing I'd suggest is to use a sheath for it for work, as it's a bit cumbersome in a pocket, especially if you already carry other things like a knife or tape measure.

Powerful and solid flashlight!

This flashlight was sent to me to field test, and I'm thrilled to try it out and give an honest review. I have had it for a few weeks now and have been blown away by the power the light produces, even at the lower levels. I have been testing this for daily use, such as walking the dog at night and entering properties without power. I have been very impressed with the ability to light up the entire yard at night or an entire room when completely dark. It's larger than a pocket flashlight, but I still grab it for daily needs.
I have been using the light regularly and have not had to recharge it once. The LED top can get hot with extended use, but this has not been a problem. This body of the light seems tough and would be great for a tactical defense role with its crowned top edge. Overall, I've been very impressed and will continue to use this regularly.

Coast sent me this flashlight to be a tested in everyday use and I have to say it is one of the best flashlights I've ever had. It is super comfortable in the hands and it is also super bright also like the fact that it has a spot for a linyard I've only had it for a day and already fell in love with it and of course later on I will post another one thank you Coast for allowing me to be part of the crew

Spotbeam is useless
on September 5, 2025
Posted by: toolguyzd

Gender:Male
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.
