COAST FL95R 1250L Rechargeable Headlamp

Got this head lamp with intentions of using for camping, fishing and work (fertilizer manufacturing). Firstly, the head band is perforated for breathability and rubberized on the inside as to not slip off your head easily. Second, the 4 modes of main beam, red/green light for low light or stealth situations. Found green to be easier to walk with that the red. Third, VOICE activation! Is not an all the time thing as it need to be turned on and auto deactivated after 15 min. Was a great feature while launching to boat in the early morning hours and needing both hands to tie off and start the old tiller motor. I even used this feature at work and the sound of packing machines, forklift traffic and it still worked as it should. Didn't have to yell or raise my voice in the environment which was surprising. Only down side I found was when attached to my hard hard (used clips from my previous light) the lamp position would not stay pointed at angle I set it. Liked the twist angle position of my older xph30r. Biggest upside i see aside from features mentioned ab I very is the battery life. Though not in constant use the 2 weeks I have had it, I have not charged it since unboxing it. Have used ever function including turbo mode to track dogs laye at night on our 3 acre property. Photo below is lighting about 70 yards to the corner field

Received the headlight and immediately put it to work, the voice activation and being able to give commands to change the light setting is awesome for anyone that is going to have dirty hands, for me it's perfect for field dressing an animal, and I can command it to change. The Battery life is amazing and speedy charging. I would highly recommend to everyone.

This headlamp is absolutely awesome! The voice activated commands work with no problem if said clearly. The turbo setting is exceptionally bright and very useful. I highly recommend this headlamp.

I have a number of headlamps and have multiple different coast models to compare this one too. Pros: The white spotlight is very strong and bigger area than my other headlamps. The spot diffuser lever is more convenient to change the main light than turning a dial. Rechargeable battery is very useful to save on dispose of our batteries. The voice activation works very well. He had bad has the reflector on it if you’re walking in the dark people from behind at least have a reflector. I like the smaller buttons because I typically put these in a hunting backpack and the larger buttons will sometimes get hit during movement and turn the light on unintentional. I haven’t used this one enough to know that the smaller buttons will remove that 100% but I think it should be minimized. Cons: The voice activation likely consumes battery. Do not know how much it does when it’s turned on, but just something to keep in mind. It is great that you can obviously turn this off and on as needed.. It’s not so much as a con. I just don’t know how much I would use. Even though it works well I just don’t think I would have a need for it but usually when I grab the headlamp, I have one light that I wanna turn on. I usually do that before I put it on I am typically not changing the different white settings throughout the use of the headlight The red and green lights are not as focused or as strong as my other coast models as shown in the photo you can see the difference, but the difference in real life is more dramatic than what the photo shows. I do use the red and green lights for hunting so that is an important option for me. If the red and green lights were as strong as my other coast models, this would’ve been five stars for me.
