I used my Polysteel 700 for changing out a fuse holder and battery on my car one night. It was perfect. I would probably tend to keep it on medium on the front LED for longer term use, as the plastic doesn’t seem to be good for venting/heatsinking.
I’ll usually set it at a few degrees off of spot so that I have good throw and spill. If it sits for a few days, the head twist takes a lot of force to start moving again. I actually like that for my purposes, but some reviewers think it isn’t a zoom because they can’t break it free for that initial loosening.
I have the smaller versions of this light that aren’t my favorites but I like this 700 and got two at $20 when they were on sale locally. The smaller ones I always keep a few degrees from spot to get decent throw and spill.
If you want better color rendition and go to HD, they have flashlights that advertise “color correct” this or that. I can’t remember the brands or models, but in some jobs, identication of colors is important. For the price, though, I haven’t picked those up so I don’t know how true the colors are.
Doesn’t LedLenser make the Coast lights?
