Coast HL4 Dual Head Torch Review

The HL4 from Coast is an etremely good value for money. It only costs only £23. For this price you get a lot of features, which should be found only in higher priced lights. This torch combines brightness, long battery life, and low cost all in one light.

The head torch has two modes: the standard 5 white LED's, or a 1 red LED mode. These two modes are independantly controlled from two different switches, which makes choosing the desired mode a lot easier. The red LED becomes usefull when you need only a low amount of light and you want to preserve your nightvision. The light is powered off of 3xAAA batteries, which are easily found all over the world. For its price, the luight gives out an astonishing 144 lumens, which distrubeutes evenly over a large area. The light reaches out to 57m, and the batteries last for 6 hours and 15 minutes. The light is also impact resistant to 1 meter, and water resistant, so it can be used in any weather. The light also features a hinged beam adjustment which makes it easy to position the beam where you want it. Including batteries, the light ways 125g/4.4oz. The straps are adjustable so its very easy to match the light to your head size.

Overall, this is an amazing light and I still can't belive its price. If your after a cheap head torch, that is capable of lighting up your whole garden, this is the light for you. I can promise you, that you won't be dissapointed.
