A good medium size light!

I have two (2) of these lights, I'm using one as a mountain bike light (mounted on my handlebar with a "Ram Mount") good for that purpose if I ride to long into the evening. The light is medium size: 6 5/8" long with a 1 1/4" dia. body, and a 1 1/2" light bezel. A little large (I call it medium size), but "doable" for "everyday" pocket carry. On "spot focus" it has a nice wider hot spot with good surrounding fill. It is quite bright on the default "medium" brightness setting and gives good run time on that setting too. The "flood" focus is quite wide with an even light spill. I have many flashlights, but this is my favorite for a general-purpose light.
My first rechargeable, beyond pleasantly surprised

I have many Coast products from lanterns to headlights to traditional flashlights, and though I was not looking to buy another when I got this one coupled with the idea of feeding more AA into it's big brother again was not my idea of a financially viable option so I went for it.
To say I am impressed is a gross understatement, this thing is fantastic. Easy to charge, very easy to operate and I am quite happy with the 3 position switch which initially was the second reason I was not going to bite.
Press once for medium lumen output, a quick second for high output, a third time for low and then off. I love that if I start with medium and use it (watching dogs outside in the dark) then later hit the switch again it goes off, perfect.
This beast does a great job of lighting up my backyard, keeping a bright concentrated beam on the dogs when they are on last call, I heartily recommend this light.
I liked the flood beam on the HP8R I took a chance on this bundle.
The pure beam is probably more an aesthetic thing, but really like it. The bull's eye option seems more like older flashlights I have had. Too big and heavy for backpacking like these for car camping or anything where size etc. is not an issue.
The specs / features are different between the two, not as worried about losing this one, leave in car etc.
I like the low power light for longer run time, but high power is a nice option, particularly for far away objects or if there is a general low light in the area that you want to over power (maybe because eyes are not adjusted for completely dark). My condo's garage is really dark and this really light s everything up. Doesn't seem to get hot on high at least not as fast as the HP8R, I don't leave it on high for very long anyway.
I like the brightness and size very much. The charging is convenient and you don’t have to remove the battery. The only thing I would like is a magnetic tail cap but that is just personal preference.
This flashlite is basically perfect for personal carry, mechanics, shops, hiking, camping. Battery lasts a very long time and is very bright. Just wish it had a magnet on the back end..but very cool. Everyone get one of these
