Rating: - Best all-around flashlight
I consider myself a flashlight fetishist, although I can't afford to be a connoisseur. I have used quite a few lights over the years, from mag lights to LED lights. I received a Stinger as a gift, which is very nice, but I carry this Coast most of the time because it is plenty bright and much smaller.

Good things about this light: uses normal batteries (3xAAA), is smaller than the palm of my hand (I'm 6'5", YMMV), is very bright and has the red LED. The battery life with alkalines is good, I use it occasionally and change the batteries two or three times a year.

Drawbacks? It's a flood, not a spot - you can't focus the beam. That's never been an actual problem because this thing is so bright. Don't count on the included belt case to hold the light, you'll lose it eventually. Either get a different case or just carry it in a pocket - it is small enough for a loose pocket.

Highly recommended, and well worth the price.

Rating: - Excellent buy!
I purchased one for use in demolition/renovation work and it held up wonderfully. I have since changed occupations, but still find it to be an essential accessory. I work a 3rd shift job and power outages are a pain with insufficient lighting...
The red LED is handy in cases you just want to glance for something, you won't blind yourself or anyone else...
Buy it and you won't be disappointed. One of the brightest flashlights I've ever used, it's very compact, and the red LED is a surprisingly handy feature.

Rating: - Great flashlight, less than secure case clip.
The flashlight is well made and especially suitable for aviation because of the single red LED. The red light could be used, however, for any situation when you did't want to trash your night vision. I was able to easily distinguish between the white and red push button switches in the dark because one has a textured surface and the other is smooth. The light comes in a nice black nylon case but the spring clip is a somewhat precarious way to attach the light. I had it clipped to my belt and lost it while I was on my bicycle. I will replace the light but won't attach it to my belt anymore.
