Fantastic light that is versatile and at hand whenever you need it. The mounting options that are built into the HX4 allow for it to be carried on pack straps, clipped to pretty well any item of equipment that affords an attachment lip, or can be used as an area light when doing emergency maintenance in the dark (e.g. attached by the included magnets to the side of a vehicle). The tethered battery compartment cap is a nice touch, and I have no doubt that this light will serve me well in various conditions. Also, can’t say enough about the customer service that Coast has afforded to me. Quick to respond, courteous, and genuinely looking to provide their customers with the best possible products and support at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for?
I purchase one these a while ago , it work well at with my telescope- a little on the bright side ( red light) but great for me. I like it so much I purchased two more for my emergency pack and hiking .
Hands down, the brightest, most versatile, cost efficient light Ive ever bought! Combine the quality with A GREAT COMPANY that stands behind their products and you cant go wrong! I have instructed my staff of 18 biomedical technicians to only buys these lights to use while making critical repairs to dialysis machines and treated water systems! Thanks Coast!
So far I really like this product. I am an aircraft mechanic, and sometimes I work in dark, enclosed locations. I have used the HX4 to help get needed light into some tight spots. The HX4 is small enough to be able to get into tight locations. The swivel light bar really helps to adjust where the light is really needed. The light is bright, but not too bright. I was able to use the clip and also the magnets to help hold it where I needed it. The only con of the light so far is the sensitivity of the switch. The on/off switch is pretty sensitive. It only takes light pressure to turn it on. When I put it in my bag, slightly bumping it would turn it on. If it was inadvertently turned on without you knowing it, you could drain the batteries and not have light when you need it. If I could make a suggestion to improve the product, I would like to see an additional way to hold the light in place. While the clip and magnets help in certain situations, I think if there was a channel to route paracord, or a gear tie through, you would be able to attach the light to a wider range of items. Working on aircraft, sometimes finding someplace that a magnet will stick to is challenging. Overall it is a great little light.
