XPH30R 1200 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable Dual Power Headlamp with Twist Focus Beam and Magnetic Base, 4.37 oz. - Black

I am pleasantly surprised at the quality and features. It’s easy to turn on/off, and cycle through the brightness levels. It initiates on medium which works great for me since I always use medium or high. For boost mode, you hold it down which I figured out without using it. I am using it to tattoo and the battery life is great, and I love that you can put in backup batteries in addition to the rechargeable battery. It’s comfortable enough to forget about. I also like the built in magnet for use at work and working on cars that have steel parts. My other headlamp that rhymes with pretzel has too many modes and is always frustrating trying to find the setting I need, plus the battery kept dying near the end of my sessions. It is a little lighter but this lamp is comfortable on my head for many hours. The brightness seems accurate for the lumen rating, and I feel like I got a nice product for the price.

A good, heavy headlamp suitable to trekking, where you're not worried so much about weight as when you're backpacking. The lamp with battery installed weighs 4.9oz on a lab scale, not 4.37oz as the item title states. When you install the cloth headband, it jumps to 5.6oz, but it's already heavy. I charged up the headlamp to 100% power and then ran it continuously for 16h on medium brightness, far longer than the claimed 10h (perhaps the battery will lose efficiency in time, but that's a real measurement). The lamp itself is made of aluminum, and the caps screw on with a firm tightness that is reassuring. The on/off switch requires a real press, not just an accidental nudge, to turn on, making it unlikely to turn on when inside a belt pocket on a backpack or in a jostled suitcase. The headband attachment that holds this aluminum metal cylinder appears to be made of a super sturdy plastic that seems almost ceramic; hard to say what it is exactly, but that cylinder rotates firmly to adjust the light angle and keeps its angle solidly, and there is no chance it's going to slip out of that holder. There are two headbands that come with this-- one made of a rubber-like material (waterproof?) and another made of cloth that is more comfortable (and can dry out just fine). This is a really well-built headlamp that will be able to take a beating along the trail. There are three light intensities that are good for trekking, and the adjustable (turnable) lens does indeed narrow or broaden the light. Medium is just fine for hiking along a typical trail without lots of obstacles or required fancy footwork. High is good for when you're in trouble or doing a full-blown night hike in the mountains. (If you do this, bring an extra headlamp as a backup; you never know what might happen on these.) The unit stays cool when running, though charging it from exhaustion does cause the aluminum unit to get warm; not out of control hot, but it's definitely working. I'd definitely recommend this, again not for ultralight, but for when you're hiking a little heavier. It is sturdy, has endurance, and has the features I need when hiking in the dark.

Extremely bright but very light so barely notied it when I had to use the head strap. The magnet is also very useful to fix the light to a metal surface for hands free use. Charges quickly and does seem to last a very long time. I think it took maybe 30 minutes to charge and lasted over 2 weeks with about 1 hour of use each day. The only thing to watch out for is accidentaly pressing the on button when putting it in your pocket. It gets extremely hot very quickly if this happens but did not seem to affect anything, no noticed battery life issues or anything.

Just a quick update May2026: used the headlamp all winter in the cold and dark. Cold didn’t seem to have any impact on battery life or overall performance. Beam is strong and cuts through steam/evaporating & misting materials. Have had to use as a flashlight a few times. The magnetic mount and the quick connect/disconnect from the headband performed well. Beam focusing and mode selection is simple and intuitive. Exceptional performance for the price and a great tool to have in the dark. Impressive so far. Have used for about 3 consecutive weeks. Very bright. With moderate/heavy on the low, medium and moonglow settings, and less use on the turbo setting, the battery indicated low once. Charged and working well. The power button is large and obvious making it easy to operate while wearing insulated gloves. It’s a touch heavy, and until broken in the ratcheting directional adjustment (up/down) is a little stiff. The beam could be a bit brighter when outdoors in the pitch black, but then this isn’t made specifically for that application. Overall a very good all around light and value for the price so far. So many product reviews tell you not to waste your money on “cheap” headlamps. It’s true. I’ve tried 3 other headlamps in the last year and none come close to this one. For the price of those lamps I could have purchased this from the outset and been content. The other lamps gave off light and while they did illuminate the area, the other lamps delivered more of a ‘light wash’ rather than a light beam like the coast. If the lamp continues to work well through the next few months, I’ll likely purchase more Coast products based on the performance of this headlamp so far.

Not for running, unless you like a somewhat heavy metal light banging on your forehead. Despite how tight you adjust the headband, the weight doesn't make it good for a running headlight. BUT.....it is great for everything else - hiking, camping, utility work (under a vehicle, crawlspace, etc). Very bright. Magnetic base is a great feature, I find myself using that more than expected. Very well made and durable. Holds a charge well. Overall good value, just not a good one to run with.

This light changed my night hiking experience! This unit is extremely durable. As a Marine, this reminds me of milspec gear that I would use in the Corps. It has a very solid metal chassis and a great hand feel when unscrewing the caps or dialing in the light. It's also water proof or extremely water resistant, as I've used it in the rain several times without issue. Being able to adjust both the angle and the light coverage (narrow beam, area flood light, or something in between) is an absolute game changer. Couple that with a very positive feel as you adjust and dial in your preference and this thing simply rocks! It requires very little attention and becomes second nature. This thing lights up the area like it's daytime. The power button is extremely easy to find and use as well. It is a smidge heavier then some of my lightweight or ultralight headlamps (ie. Nitecore) but the battery life is phenomenal and the ease of use combined with the amount of light is top-notch. Finally, the rechargeable battery that is built in is awesome. Not only is there a USB-C recharge port on the unit that allows the battery to be recharged without taking it out but the battery itself can be removed and recharged also via USB-C. That also means you can have backup batteries, pre-charged that can be taken on a hike or camping trip. This thing's built to last and even though I was hesitant because the price point I'm extremely happy with the purchase!

Simplu love this headlamp. I was going through headlamps pretty frequently, until I bought this one. Have had it over a year and still works great. The solid steel frame makes it extremely durable. Light is also amazingly bright for the compact size. The magnet on the side comes in very handy. Heavily water resistant. I sweat perfusly and no moisture damage thus far. The heavy sweat is what was ruining all the previous headlamps. The rubber and nylon strap option is also nice. Won't buy another headlamp from anyone else. Coast is my yo to headlamp manufacturer.

Always looking to improve on my headlamp (I hike in a mountain forest at night), I bought this Coast & compared it with others (Petzl Swift, Streamlight, Fenix), & the Coast is the best of the group. The headband adjustment is easy to use. The brightness of the lights is adequate (I need to spot animal eyes glowing in the dark at about 100 yards away, as well as branches & rocks underfoot). This is a small, very lightweight unit but the construction is solid. My overall ranking of the 4 mentioned: 1) 5* Coast XPH30R, 2) 4* Fenix HM65R, 3) 4* Streamlight 89001, 4) 2* Petzl Swift Rl.

Llevo usándolo una par de semanas y funciona perfecto, Coast tiene garantía de por vida así que no hace falta adquirir una garantía extendida, los materiales son de muy buena calidad y la intensidad de la luz es genial. Previamente compré una linterna Energizer que dejó de funcionar denla nada después de 3 meses, definitivamente la garantía de por vida en las linternas Coast es un factor determinante para comprar esta linterna.

Used everyday as a mechanic, and every weekend for hunting. Holds a charge for a long time, super bright. Can’t go wrong.

Usually when the sun isn't out yet I use this to go jogging. It works rather nicely. But long walks In recommend a power bank with you. Just in case.

The best head lamp as mentioned with its dicription, after charging full the torch brights way better as expected. Best head lamp to go for but there are some unnecessary other attachments which I belive doesn't require...

La batería dura mucho y es recargable. Se ajusta comodamente (también trae aditamentos para usarla con casco), el único detalle es que en uso prolongado se puede llegar a sentir caliente (normal por la potencia del LED).
