Coast G20 Inspection Beam LED Penlight

I purchased two of the Coast flashlights over three years ago, and they have proven to be indispensable tools for both general use and professional tasks. The compact and lightweight design of these flashlights makes them incredibly convenient to carry around, easily fitting into a work shirt or pants pocket. One of the standout features is their versatility in various situations, especially for inspecting dark areas at my job. Whether I need a reliable light source for routine tasks or more specialized applications, these flashlights have consistently delivered. The inspection beam provides clarity in even the darkest environments. The durability of these flashlights is another aspect that has left a lasting impression. Having owned several Coast flashlights, I can attest to their consistent build quality. These flashlights have endured regular use and occasional bumps without showing any signs of wear or performance degradation. The overall craftsmanship of Coast flashlights is commendable, and this model is no exception. The attention to detail, robust construction, and reliable performance make it a worthwhile investment. Given my positive experiences with this particular model, I have confidence in the brand's commitment to producing high-quality products. In conclusion, I highly recommend the Coast flashlight for anyone in need of a dependable inspection lighting solution. Its small size and durability, make it an excellent choice for both everyday use and professional applications. Without a doubt, I will choose this model again when the need arises.

I am so so happy with this. I was looking for a flashlight to be in my EMT kit, so something that I could use to check pupil dilation and have as an inspection light. It feels super sturdy, and is made very well. Everything just works and there isn't extra stuff that you don't need on it, making it small, light but feeling like it has good presence in your hand, and also just super functional. I have noticed it does not overheat easily, or for that matter at all! It stays super cool (especially considering how bright and focused the beam is) and does not even heat up the part around the lens. Really loved this so much, its so perfect, also if you were wondering the clip can come off easily with intention, but will 100% stay in place and not move around when not wanting it to come off!

Got this for my boyfriend who is an EMT. It’s wayyyy brighter than his previous one. It’s literally like a regular sized flashlight brightness. It’s sturdy and works great!

Got a good deal with discount. Does the job. No adjusting but very sturdy.

I love this light to pieces. I've had it on my EDC pouch for 4 uears and the paint has been rubbed off in plaes, I've stepped on it multiple times, dropped it in the muck, etc. and it's still going strong. I use AAA rechargeables in it and they last for weeks. I have even used it in the theatre to help other patrons find their seat. The actual ushers can't use their cell phones because they throw too wide a light, but this is perfect. Highly recommended for a durable, bright and rugged flashlight.

The Coast G20 penlight is ideal for a doc. It has a focused beam, without the dim, distracting, peripheral light often seen with LED flashlights. It's literally spot on. (That term is overused and cliched, in my opinion, but it fits here.) It’s not as bright as others. Lucy the wonder dog wouldn’t want us to use it walking through snow at night in the woods, looking for a place to, well, you know, but it’s perfectly bright for looking down throats, up noses, and in other places where the sun don’t shine. It’s also good for highlighting skin lesions and checking pupillary response. The best parts are that there is no focusing collar and only one light level. Re-doing focus and having to click through multiple light levels drives me crazy. Just turn it on and off. Just use it. That’s a lot less bothersome. You get what you want without having to go through multiple permutations of lumens and beam focus. The perimeter of the beam has a faint blue tint, about 1 mm into the white light, but this does not affect the rest of the beam, which stays white. That worried me at first, as some lights I’ve had with a blue tint tended to wash out the colors I needed to see. With the Coast G20 colors such as red inflamed tissue or red arteries appear true. The beam does not have a large diameter, nor do I want it to. Sold as an inspection light it’s just that. The build is substantial, although I haven’t yet thrown it off any buildings nor run over it with my truck. It has some heft to it but fits well in my shirt pocket without much pull. That only means it's rugged and should last. The red band on the switch end looks cool, too. If you’re a doc, PA, NP, nurse, orderly, or even the lady that dishes out the fried okra in the hospital cafeteria (she might drop her spoon under the counter, you know) you will find this light to be just right. I do. Buy one now so they stay on the market, although one should last a lifetime. We’ll see about that as we use it.

Foreword: This listing is for the 7817 flashlight, the picture shows a G20. What I received was in fact a G20 but it's slightly different from both pictures. Mainly: There is NO eye for a lanyard and there is a groove for the pocket clip to actually engage with. I personally love this thing. So far I've bought two and I plan on buying more until I have one in every room. Okay I'm exaggerating a little but I do plan on getting a few more of these. It throws a very focused beam within a small area so if you want a lot of light over a wide area this is not a light for you. I like that it's bright but not TOO bright. It's perfect for working on computers or under desks, inside engines, or anywhere with limited room for maneuverability. Why is this desirable? For me personally, when working in computers if the flash light is too bright there's the chance of getting blinded by reflection from a component. That's just one of the many things I like about this flashlight. A few other pros: -Uses standard AAA batteries (seems to have at least the stated run time) -Small (It's about the length of your average click pen and perhaps 50% thicker) -Light weight -Sturdy construction -Simple positive engagement push button (I dislike twisty lights) -Simple point and shine operation, no focusing ring to mess with -Comes with pocket clip (while the clip is sturdy and has a groove for it to sit in you can remove it if you desire. I don't recommend it as there will be nothing to stop the flash light from rolling away should you drop it or set it down on an uneven surface) Cons: -No eye for lanyard -No momentary operation (I tried, the end button is either on or off there's no slack) -Not really a con, more of a wish list item but it'd be nice if this came with some sort of "slip-on" filters, red/green perhaps. Overall this is great and I will be buying more.

Saw these in Home Depot for a few dollars more. Picked up two on Amazon. If you're looking for a flashlight that only has an on\off function, this is the one for you. No variable brightness or unwanted UV function. Two AAA batteries are included and it uses a white\bluish LED which is super bright. I ordered two because the price was right. I wished they used a thicker o-ring on the front and rear seals. The tiny red one they used was bunched up from the factory and mushed in the threads. These are light weight and the housing is made from aluminum. The foot print is about two pens wide.
