The PM450R is one of the torches in Coast's new range of work lights and provide a high output of 550 lumens from a single white LED.
Dual power options means that the light can use the included Coast Zithium-X rechargeable battery, or it can also use 3 x AAA alkaline batteries (not included). The Zithion-X battery features a micro USB port built into the battery so that it can be charged outside of the torch using the included micro USB to USB-A charging cable. While charging is in progress an LED indicator glows red and turns green once charging is complete.
What sets this apart from other work lights is that it has the ability to focus the beam using Coast's Pure Beam Focusing Optic System to focus between the bulls-eye spot beam with a range of up to 165 metres, and the ultra view flood beam that gives a consistent circle of light with no dark circles in the middle. Changing between spot to flood is achieved by twisting the bezel of the light back and forth.
For versatility the lamp can be attached to magnetic surfaces with the strong magnet that is built into the base of the worklight, or hung from the hanging hook that is tucked away underneath, and the position of the lamp head itself can be rotated 180° to acheive the best light coverage.
The light is operated using the power button located on the side and each press will cycle through mid, high and low, but after being in a mode longer than 5 seconds the next press will instead turn the light off. Mid output will always be accessed first to give a good initial output that is not too bright or too low.
