Coast G40

So I was at Meijer, and on one of the end caps by hardware, they had some Coast G40 flashlights on clearance for 75% off. For $5, I had to buy it.

And since they had 4, it would have been a crime not to buy them all of course.

Gotta love clearance :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok, yeah wow…

Modding potential is basically zero with the stupid amount of threadlock. The LEDs inside are a useless blue, and nowhere near 130 lumens whatsoever. I would not even gift these to anyone.

3 of them are going back to the store lol. Lesson learned.

LOL I guess for 5 bucks it not bad just to put them in random spots in the house or even in the car.

The one that I’m keeping will turn out alright. I heated the head over the stovetop and managed to melt the threadlock and get it open.

Creatively made another switch, and have a suitable reflector. I’ll need to take the anodizing off the inside of the tailcap, and ground the negative in the head with the LED as well. It will take an 18650.

I’ll be sure and post some pictures when that one gets finished :slight_smile: Other 3 I returned for my $15 back lol

haha good stuff mate. Be sure to upload the pics when you finish

The G40 led flashlight provides a great combination of brightness, run time and value. Coast’s Max Beam Optic System with six LED’s project a wide, flood beam giving you the maximum amount of light with no dark spots. Built tough, an impact-resistant, lightweight aluminum casing resists rust and corrosion. Tested and rated to ANSI/FL1 standards, the G40 also features an unbreakable LED and rubberized O-ring for reliable water resistance and durability. Backed by Coast’s lifetime guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship.

That’s hilarious lol, thanks for the laugh!

I much prefer an XM-L2 at 3A
