This new Coast headlamp, the XPH34R, is powerful and rechargeable.

Coast’s XPH34R Headlamp A Top Performer

We’ve used several Coast flashlights and they’ve all been dependable. Among the company’s new offerings, we spotted the XPH34R headlamp and the XP11R handheld tactical light.

The XPH34R headlamp can be worn or stuck to a metal surface for hands-free operation or held in your hand. In Turbo Mode, the light provides an incredible 2,075 peak lumens. The light has a sturdy aluminum body. It can be rolled in the headgear bracket to provide the best angle for the job at hand. The light can be detached for handheld use and it has a magnetic tail cap as well for attaching the light to metal surfaces, such as the underside of your car hood.

The light is powered by a Coast Zithion-X rechargeable battery. A charge cord is included for charging from AC, DC or USB sources. Or you can power the light with disposable lithium or alkaline batteries. There’s a battery-life indicator to make sure you know if your world is going to become very dark very soon.

A twist of the optical housing changes you from a wide-angle flood light to a focused spot beam. Also included are clips for attaching the headlamp to a hard hat. The XPH34R has three brightness modes, plus the Turbo Mode. On low, the light output is 73 lumens for a 118-foot beam distance. On medium, you have 330 lumens for 255-foot beam. On high, you get 1,025 lumens and 446-foot beam. In Turbo Mode, you get 2,075 lumens for a beam distance of 639 feet. Run times range from 36 hours on low to 6 hours, 15 minutes on high. The XPH34R weighs 8 ounces.

Coast XP11R A Very Good Tactical Light

If you’d rather have a straight-forward tactical light, the new Coast XP11R is a good choice. This light measures 5.98 inches long and weighs 5.7 ounces. It too has three brightness modes plus Turbo, giving you a range of 75 lumens all the way up to 2,100 lumens for 721 feet of beam reach. Run times range form 37 hours on low to 5 hours on high. This light also uses a rechargeable battery with the option to use disposable batteries too. A covered port under the tail cap allows you to charge the light with the battery on board. MSRP: $99.99 (XPH34R headlamp), $69.99 (XP11R tactical light)
