1 / 7Coast XPH30R Model 31538 Rechargeable Headlamp, 1500 Lumens
Model Lumens: The Coast XPH30R headlamp combines a listed 1500-lumen Turbo mode with twist focus, a detachable magnetic-base light, and rechargeable dual-power operation. Its brightest mode is distinct from its longer low-output runtimes, so it suits buyers who want adjustable lighting and backup battery options more than an unconditional all-night high-output claim.
At a glance
- Twist-focus optic adjusts between a flood beam and a focused spot beam.
- Detaches from the head strap and bracket for handheld use, with a built-in magnetic base for metal surfaces.
- Rechargeable battery operation, with disposable CR 123 lithium batteries described as an alternative and sold separately.
- Battery indicator and built-in charging port are described by the manufacturer.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The multiple brightness levels give buyers a choice between the 1500-lumen Turbo mode and lower-output settings with longer stated runtimes.
- A detachable light with magnetic base can be used away from the head strap and attached to metallic surfaces.
- USB-C charging and the stated option to use separately purchased CR 123 lithium batteries offer more than one power route.
Cons
- The listed 1500-lumen Turbo output is not paired with a Turbo runtime in the detailed mode-by-mode claims, so it should not be treated as a sustained-output duration.
- The specified 8-ounce weight may be a trade-off for buyers prioritizing a very light headlamp. Customer feedback also describes the lamp as bulky for some users.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing contains inconsistent size and weight claims: the title says 4.37 oz., while the details list 8 ounces, and it gives two different dimension sets. It also lists 88 hours without a mode, while the detailed runtime schedule assigns 88 hours to moon glow and gives no Turbo runtime. Confirm the selected listing's configuration and measurements before purchase.
What’s in the box
Included- ZX850 Zithion-X Rechargeable Battery

Who is it for?
A good fit for
- People who need hands-free task lighting with adjustable spot and flood focus.
- Buyers wanting a detachable light that can also serve as a magnetic-base handheld flashlight.
- Users who value rechargeable operation and are willing to source separate CR 123 batteries as a backup option.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a confirmed runtime at the 1500-lumen Turbo setting.
- Those seeking a clearly established lightweight or compact size, given inconsistent listing measurements and mixed weight feedback.
- Users who require a waterproof rating beyond the listing's IP54 claim.

Customer feedback highlights brightness, adjustable beam focus, rechargeable convenience, versatility and battery life. Those points align with the listed modes, twist focus and USB-C charging, but customer comments about battery life do not establish a runtime at Turbo output. Weight impressions are mixed, with some finding it manageable and others describing it as bulky, a relevant trade-off for extended head-mounted use.
Positive themes
- Customers praise brightness and adjustable focus from a narrow beam to a wider one.
- Customers report appreciating rechargeable convenience, versatility and battery life.
Mixed feedback
- Weight impressions differ, with some customers finding it not too heavy and others considering it bulky.
