Ratings & Reviews for Coast 280 4 -Mode LED Headlamp

Very bright and great for DYI and work

This product works very well, especially since it only runs on two AAs. The fact that it takes standard batteries is also a huge plus because I can use rechargeable batteries. I used this on some DYI electrical works since I had the power off and a couple of time on the job. The light emitted is of good quality and I think the product will hold up.

Cheap Headlamp

First, I want to say that after reviewing what others have had to say about the 130-Lumen LED Headlamp from Coast, I was shocked to note that of the 18 reviews, virtually all of the 5 star ratings were done by individuals that received the product free from Lowe’s in exchange for a review, as did I. I believe that in exchange for the product for free, Lowe’s truely wants an “honest” opinion of the products it offers in order to keep its products at a high level, so here goes my opinion..... my f...

Comfy Headlamp works very well

I've owned several of this style of headlamp over the years and found them to be useful for many projects that needed a tad more light. This Coast Dual Color LED headlamp is a better made quality than most and it just feels good on the head. Simple to use top clicker style button, 4 position angle adjustment, and best yet wearing comfort that I've used. While wearing the headlamp, it is very easily adjustable for the best fit possible. It takes 2 AAA standard/alkaline/lithium batteries that are ...

Great tool

This little gem is awesome to use when you need bright light and keep your hands free to work with other tools or things. Lightweight and easy to wear. Provides good source of light where you are looking. We are still finding uses for it.

Good quality light

This light has 4 settings. Bright, less bright (both white lights), and then a red light and a blinking red light. The band is adjustable, and comes with the two AAA batteries that are needed. It also can be moved to downlight something below. The only thing I would have changed is putting some kind of fabric on the back as it is not super comfortable against the forehead. (It is also not uncomfortable) I think this is a good quality light.

Bright

Not amazingly bright, but that's to be expected. Brighter than most headlamps I've used though.

Average light

This headlamp is not the brightest but it is fairly comfortable and so far, reliable. I actually wanted a light that wasn’t so bright so when I take it hunting I’m not lighting up the woods when it’s dark. It has 4 settings; bright, dim, red, and flashing red. The red is also nice to keep a low profile at night. Lastly, the light pivots up and down to focus the light where you want it. Overall it’s a decent light and I would recommend it for the purposes explained above. If you want a bright lig...

Awesome Headlamp

I love this 130-lumen headlamp. It provides exactly the right amount of light needed to get any job done. It is made of quality materials to me durable to be rugged enough for the job at hand. I do with that instead of a red led that they just added an additional white one. I don't see a need that I would have use for the red led mode. Overall my opinion is that this is the best headlamp I have owned. I have bought quite a few and either they lack in quality or aren't very bright. It has three s...

Maybe a 4.5?

WARNING: I'm a pen-flashlight kinda guy, so . . . I purposely swapped this headlamp out w my flashlight to use this thing. So, yeah, no more sucking on the end of my flashlight when I need to use both hands in the dark. It turned out GREAT to use w my drill press, which is in a VERY dark place in my shop (see photo). More info . . . Lowes gave this to me FOR FREE to review it, so I feel like I gotta check it out more . . . This headlamp is well built, slim and lightweight. Comes with two w...

Headlamp Jan18

This is a very good product with a safety feature for nighttime use. I have several of these types of head lamps. The strap is easy to use and easy to adjust. My only recommendation is to add a strap that goes over the center of your head. I have this type of light with the additional strap over the head and the added strap keeps the headlamp in place even better.

Work great!

Allows you freedom to use both hands when doing any job in the dark. Love it!

Good Product

This headlamp is nice. It like many has several modes. Press the button once and it goes to max brightness, twice it goes to lower brightness, three times it goes to red flashing, four another red flashing mode. Some users may really like this feature, but for me, I always want the unit on max brightness so that feature is not super important to me. The unit is lighter than some of the other units I own which is nice, and the unit is far brighter than I expected. This weight difference is partly...

Great product. The light is almost too bright.

First impressions. This is a quality product. It fit comfortably and doesn’t move around on my head. The switch is easy to actuate even with my gloves on. I was able to swivel the light easily as well. The battery compartment is very easy to access and open. The o ring looks solid and because it’s red you can clearly see it in its grove so you can see it has seated properly. The light. Wow is it bright. I used it in the morning while feeding my chickens. It was completely dark so it was in fact...

Very lite and compact headlamp not overly bright which is what I wanted I would rather have the longevity of the batteries then changing them every time I used the light. Highly recommend

Head lamp

Poor light, doesn’t project well and light dissipates quickly

Consumes battery when not in use

Have used three sets of batteries. The unit consumes batteries when not in use. Don't buy

Unreliable

Had issues with power switch from the beginning. Sometimes it would turn on, sometimes not. Finally it quit altogether and new batteries didnt help.

Not surprised

Batteries included is true. Batteries dead is also true. Test it before you buy it. Better yet just buy batteries when you buy this assuming if they aren't dead they will be shortly. I'll add another review after I've had it awhile.

Garbage don't waste your money!!!

First one died, after a month of casual use around the house. Returned it thinking I got a messed up one but nope!! Replacement died during a power outage at my house. It won't turn on. Don't buy,awful product. Very disappointed with this product.
