Has anyone ever tried the new coast hx5. I just found out about this light and it runs on a 14500 battery. I was planning on getting a lumintop tool 2.0 AA that has a high brightness of 650 lumens on a 14500 battery. They are both similar in price so im not sure which one to get.

Are you referring to the HX5R?
I've been carrying the original HX5 for a couple of years and it's my most used light. Is there a new version? I only use NiMh batteries in it.
I've never used the Tool.

I assume that the beam distance is what Coast advertises - I've never made any effort to measure it.
I find it quite handy inside and outside, but I don't use it as a search light outside. The adjustable focus is it's most useful feature.
