The FL75R is a bright, adjustable lamp that leans more toward camp and work use than trail use. Coast lists 1000 lumens and a 168 m beam on Turbo, 700 lumens for 2.25 h on High, 400 lumens for 3.75 h on Medium and 110 lumens for 14 h on Low. The TWIST FOCUS bezel lets you turn the beam from a wide flood to a tight spot by hand, and the PURE BEAM optic blends the two. Like the Petzl CORE lamps it has Dual Power, taking Coast's ZX350 rechargeable battery over USB-C or three AAA batteries, and it adds red and green beams. It weighs 3.17 oz. The numbers that hold it back for hikers are runtime and sealing: 14 h is the longest listed runtime, well short of the 100 h or more offered by several lamps here, and IP54 covers splashes, not heavy rain. Coast listed it at $65.99 with a sale price of $35.99 when we checked.
