I have bought and used dozens of Coast headlamps over the last 10-plus years. Why? Because they hold up better than any other brand I have tried. And I've tried a lot. Because I need help seeing in low light, I literally use my headlamps every single day, a lot. Even as quality for the price as my past Coasts, they eventually have something happen. Pick a past or current model; I have used them all. Weak points, such as plastic components that delaminate or break, switch failures, the wire connection from the battery pack to the lamp fails, the headband stretches beyond wearability, or the rubber cover over the battery pack wears out and won't stay in place. Coast does sell replacement parts on their website and things like replacement headbands are well worth it. So the folks at Coast obviously have realized their shortcomings and with this model, I absolutely everything about it. Huge improvements!1. Metal housing. Very durable.2. No detached battery pack. The single rechargeable battery is in the metal housing. So, no wires to catch stray objects or develop a failed connection.3. Weight. Not so heavy that it feels like you're wearing a small barbell on your forehead.4. Brightness. This is as bright, if not brighter than the brightest Coast I have owned, and that one was actually much bigger and heavier.5. Functionality. I like the 3 levels of brightness, plus the bonus, where if you hold the switch down, it gets super bright. Full focus too, from wide to narrow.6. The headband. Very strong and easily replaceable.7. Charging and battery. I recharge the battery every other day. Unlike my other headlamps, where I had to pop AA or AAA batteries out to recharge, this plugs directly into the included USB-C cable. The USB-C connection on the frame is covered when you're not charging, which is nice. The single battery lasts quite a long time.I will be purchasing more of this model, to keep one in my truck, and more as backups. Highly recommend this XPH34R.

Excellent, only one worth buying!

Tolle Lampe, möchte sie nicht mehr bei bestimmten arbeiten missen. :o)

Recomendadoal 100%

Very disappointed. The torch has broken just outside the month return window. It won't charge and the Coast branded rechargeable battery that comes with it is roughly half the cost of the overall unit. The battery doesn't appear to be sold within the UK and cant be shipped to the UK. This is far too expensive a torch to fail so soon. I have had much cheaper head torches that lasted years.
