    Answer This Question

    Hi! The Polysteel 400 has a IP54-level resistance. This means that the Polysteel 400 is splash proof and can handle storm conditions. However, this flashlight is not waterproof and should not be submerged in water. All the best, Bobby - COAST Expert

        Ronald, we don't sell a replacement bulb but with our lifetime warranty, we can get your flashlight fixed for you. Please call us at 1-800-426-5858. Thanks!

        By|Dec 19, 2019

          This is an LED light, so there is no bulb. If the light-emitting diode fails, the whole light needs to be replaced. As a rule, LEDs last significantly longer than incandescent bulbs used in older flashlights.

          By|Apr 27, 2020

            LED (light-emitting diode) flashlights do not take bulbs. The light is produced by a permanently installed diode. While LED flashlights need to be replaced when the diode no longer functions, their life expectancy is generally significantly greater than standard bulbs. By the way, this is a great light.

                  FlipFlop, the handle diameter is 1.3 inches.

                  By|Jun 24, 2019

                    Biggest 1.75" smallest 1.3", 5.61" shortest when flood, 5.84" longest when spot.

                    By|Aug 7, 2019

                      If I have the question correctly, the handle or body is ~1.25" and the focal portion is ~1.5".

                      By|Oct 15, 2019

                        1-1/2" diameter by 5-3/4" long.

                          By|May 6, 2023

                            Yes and it goes 3 meters for a few hours. More then enough time completely submerged to finish any job humanly possible unless in a wetsuit and tank

                              Not sure I haven't dropped my in any water. Has o-ring at back battery access and button on that end is also rubbery.

                                      Tony, unfortunately, it does not.

                                      By|May 5, 2023

                                        I had this one mixed up with another flashlight. It does not have a strobe.

                                        By|Dec 28, 2018

                                          There's No strobe mode. You can twist the head for an ultra wide beam and then twist it the other way for a very powerful fine beam.

                                          My dog loves flashlights. I bought this for him and he loves it. No joke. I needed a light that was tough enough that he wouldnt destroy it. This light is sturdy. And it has 3 settings. Another great feature. Very impressed with the quality. Thanks!

                                          Solid and Reliable
                                          I bought the Polysteel 400 to replace a larger MAG light that uses C cell batteries. This model used 4 AAA Batteries or a Rechargeable battery. I keep the Alkaline batteries as a backup. I store it in my truck and can charge the battery externally from the light while I can still use the light with the Alkaline Battery pack. That was important to me. I have other rechargeables that charge in the light but then I don't have the use of the light until it is charged. The light is brighter than my old C-cell Flashlight and provides light for much longer, especially on low. See the Specifications. I can use as a flood light or focus the beam. It is weather resistant. (I have an older Polysteel, so I know). I purchased two because I can always use another light. good for Emergencies or Walking the dog and quite adequate for camping since it can used rechargeable batteries or AAA Batteries. Easy to take extra along with either option available. I added the Orange Lanyard

                                            Really bright light for the size and waterproof which is good for work because I work in places with large open vats and a lot of water around. I did have a situation recent where it didn't turn on so pulled batteries thinking the ones it came with were dead but they all had 1.4 volts. Put batteries back in a couple button pushes later it started working again. Other than that so far so good.

                                              Heavy Duty LED Flashlight
                                              Coast PS400 Waterproof Focusing Flashlight is a heavy duty fist size LED flashlight and the covering is textured for a good grip . The on button is on the end and does not require you to fully engage it to get a burst of light. It’s ipx8 rated and that’s a big deal. That rating starts at 1 and goes to 8 = Meaning you drop it in your hot tub or your pool and it takes a while to find it you are OK. Focus goes from beam to flood with 3 levels of brightness and uses 4 of the smaller batteries the AAA.. It's got a place to run a lanyard or something similar from to hang it on or about something or someone. I can recommend this to anyone that needs a durable dependable flashlight. I can say dependable because its built like a tank and has a lifetime warranty. That's a long time.

                                              Lights the way
                                              Perfect smaller light to pack in a glovebox, backpack, or bedside drawer. Lightweight, but sturdy as well. Solid construction and feel in my hand. One nice bonus is that the included batteries are Duracells, not some cheap no-name that goes dead in a week. And considering the battery size (4 AAA's), lasting about an hour at full intensity is pretty good. Normally the 2nd or even 3rd setting will be more than enough anyway. Changing from spot to flood is as simple as twisting the lens housing. You can do it with one hand. And distance is phenomenal. I was shining into my neighbors dining room a few doors down the block. In my video, even at lowest intensity I was still able to shine light up into the tree. Unfortunately it doesnt show well on the video, but it was a nice surprise to see it reach that far at low power.

                                              Way better than a bulb!
                                              This is my first "large" LED flashlight, and it is still about half the size of an old style light. LEDs are way brighter and take less battery power to do it. It took a minute to figure out the flood vs. spotlight. Just keep clicking the button on the end. Each click changes the light intensity. Twist the head to adjust the flood, and the base to remove the battery pack, same as with a mag-lite. It came loaded with four Duracells, not the usual cheap "starter" batteries many products have. The package says waterproof to three meters. This will be my new bedside drawer flashlight. Great size, bright and fits perfectly in the hand.

                                              Chunky and super bright
                                              This may be one of the brightest flashlights I own. When focused it resembles the brightness, distance and clarity of my halogen spot lamp. I can shine it at night into the woods behind my house and it provides a similar level of light as my much larger, much hotter running spotlight. It's a well made, chunky flashlight. The tail cap switch is large and easy to actuate, and the studded grip is comfortable. You can focus the lens by twisting the front of the flashlight. It's fairly tight to turn / focus, which I like. It will not move / roll around on its own. The wide area light is interesting. It is a solid, uniform light with no halo effect like you normally get in any xenon, krypton or even halogen bulb lights. When you focus it, you get a very bright innner beam with a lighter halo around it, but still a uniform halo that provides decent area coverage. My only issue with the flashlight is the instructions. It has the ability to run at three different light output levels, which is quite nice. The high output level is bright, but it can be too bright for some indoor work. Plus, the lower output levels save battery life significantly. The tail cap switch has a three-step function, cycling between high, medium and low as you turn it on and off again. If you wait for a short period of time (ten seconds, maybe) it will stop cycling through the power settings and just turn on at the high output level again. But the instructions do not explain any of this. The only thing on the instructions is a table of output power (lumens) and respective battery life. I had to figure out the three-way switch on my own.
