Review: Awesome little light - Having the magnetic hold the light is a game changer! Super bright for the side light, not as bright for the main flashlight. Definitely worth the price & size is great!
Review: Nice penlight - This is a very nice penlight. The "COB" area light on the side of the penlight is very bright in both white and red but I'd like the lumens of the flashlight portion to be greater. I purchased this for my grandfather but he returned it to me saying that the push-button on the end of the flashlight was too difficult to push with his elderly hands (his words). I have to admit, it does take a bit of a 'determined' press to click it. However, I should also add that once the button is depressed and the flashlight is on, it's easy to move through the different light options with a soft press on the button -- but still needs the strong press to turn off.

## Features

- INSPECTION BEAM OPTIC WITH C.O.B. HANDLE: The Inspection Beam cuts clean, consistent light from edge to edge to evenly illuminate work spaces. Engineered for pen lights that fit in the pocket, this beam simplifies up-close work and brightens hard-to-reach objects. COAST lights featuring Chip on Board (C.O.B.) technology cast a wide beam handy for up-close work—from a strip of LEDs built right onto the chassis, without a standard optic.
- ALKALINE DUAL POWER: Each COAST Alkaline-Dual Power product comes with COAST Extreme Performance alkaline batteries and is compatible with other standard alkaline batteries. Each product can also be powered with a COAST ported ZITHION-X rechargeable battery. This offers you the convenience of alkaline and the cost efficiency of rechargeable battery.
- MAGNETIC CLIP: Attach the light to magnetic surfaces. Lights with a Magnetic Clip have magnets located on their clip that allow the light to be attached to magnetic surfaces for easy storage or hands-free use.
- SPECS: 120 lumen max light output, 17 meter (55 ft.) beam distance and 11 hour max runtime. Tested and rated to ANSI/FL1 standards.
- TOUGH & RELIABLE: Backed by the COAST Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. IP54 rated design for water resistance and dust resistance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome little light
*by P***1 on June 1, 2025*

Having the magnetic hold the light is a game changer! Super bright for the side light, not as bright for the main flashlight. Definitely worth the price & size is great!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice penlight
*by M***J on June 11, 2021*

This is a very nice penlight. The "COB" area light on the side of the penlight is very bright in both white and red but I'd like the lumens of the flashlight portion to be greater. I purchased this for my grandfather but he returned it to me saying that the push-button on the end of the flashlight was too difficult to push with his elderly hands (his words).

However, I should also add that once the button is depressed and the flashlight is on, it's easy to move through the different light options with a soft press on the button -- but still needs the strong press to turn off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flashlight not shipped with rechargeable battery and it is expensive!
*by M***T on September 9, 2023*

Overall, not a bad flashlight. It has a solid feel and the switch seems to work well; however, time will tell. Both the inspection beam and the COB (chip on board) area light are bright and the night vision (red) light is a nice addition. As stated, it is storm proof but not waterproof. In fact, the instructions that accompany the light state "Never submerge your G23 Flashlight in any liquid", i.e., do not drop it in a puddle. I would prefer waterproof but you cannot have everything. Given that I like to keep lights in our "Go Bags", I prefer dual power and the G23 does use AAA disposable alkaline batteries and a rechargeable battery (note singular rather than plural on the latter). This is disappointing. The seller is very clear that the light is shipped with AAA alkaline batteries whereas most of my dual-power lights are shipped with rechargeable batteries - the G23 is not shipped with a rechargeable. Moreover, the rechargeable battery is a proprietary, highly specialized battery (scroll down to about the top 1/3 of the page to the "From the Manufacturer" section) and it is expensive. Purchasing this battery from Coast will more than double the cost of this flashlight. And, the instructions clearly state "Do not use an aftermarket rechargeable battery to power your G23", i.e., if you want dual power, be prepared to double the cost of your flashlight. Note: For at least some period, Coast, on their website, did sell the G23 "bundled" with the proprietary ZX110 rechargeable battery list priced for $39.99 but reduced to $19.99. This would have been a good deal but unfortunately it is now "sold out".
