The Coast HX5 is a compact torch for everyday carry, and features a dual power system allowing for multiple battery types to be used, which each yield a different lumen output.
Using the included Coast extreme performance AA alkaline battery it provides an output of 168 lumens, or alternatively a rechargeable AA NiMH battery can be used for an output of 125 lumens. For the maximum output available of 360 lumens the HX5 can be powered by a Coast 'Zithion-X' ZX210 micro USB rechargeable lithium-ion battery (not included).
A tail switch allows for simple on/off operation of the white light, while the Pure Beam Focusing Optic System focuses the beam between a spot beam with a range of 77-130 metres, and a flood beam with no dark rings typically associated with focusing torches, by sliding the head of the torch backwards and forwards.
The two way pocket clip can be used either side for easy attachment to clothing, backpacks or the peak of a cap.
