Rechargeable
With Precision Brightness With brilliant, crystal-clear light concentrated exactly where it’s needed, the top-of-the-line FL85R features COAST’s innovative recharging capability. The FL85R joins COAST’s series of innovative headlamps that have batteries, light and controls all in the front. This powerful, versatile, lightweight and easy-to-use headlamp makes working under the hood, under the chassis and in the passenger compartment less difficult.
The FL85R features COAST’s exclusive Flex Charge Dual Power Rechargeable System and the Pro-Tek Charging Port – removing its protective cover reveals a micro-USB port that the charging cable plugs into. There are no parts to lose, and the port stays clean from dust and debris.
The FL85R offers two power options. Users can choose between the included top-quality lithium rechargeable battery pack or use three standard AAA alkaline batteries. Notably, the lithium battery pack can be charged inside the headlamp, or outside. Have uninterrupted use of the light for any repair or service task, anytime and anywhere, because you can use alkaline batteries while the battery pack recharges.
There are high, medium and low output modes to choose between maximum brightness, exactly the light needed or to conserve battery life.
Dual-Color LED Headlamps and Pure Beam Focusing – Multi-Use Functionality
The Pure Beam Focusing Optic of the FL85R provides a seamless transition from crystal-clear flood beam to a long-distance Bulls-Eye Spot beam. With its impressive 700 lumens of power, it lights up objects up to 656 feet (200 meters) away. The dual-color beams are operated by two separate switches, to change between pure beam white and red beam easily. This allows users to turn the red light on and off without cycling through the white light settings.
Along with the entire FL headlamp line, the FL85R has a heavy-duty, adjustable headband that provides ultimate comfort and is hard-hat compatible. The reflective straps provide increased visibility and safety for the user. Change settings easily with the oversized power switch.
The bezel is hinged to make focusing and beam positioning perfectly accurate, particularly for close-up tasks like precise adjustments or settings, and for handling, removing and installing small parts. In particular, the red-light function is useful at night or in low light situations. For example, when working under the car, in a darkened part of the vehicle workshop or when working in tight corners, the red beam helps prevent blinding yourself or creating annoying glare.
