Coast GX35 Flashlight vs Coast Slayer Red Rechargeable Flashlight

Buy the GX35 if you want maximum brightness, long throw and the safety of running on ordinary alkaline batteries when no outlet is near. Buy the Slayer Red if you want a small, light everyday light with a red beam, magnets and USB-C charging. The GX35 is the bigger, heavier tool light (13 oz, polymer body) and its 4.0 rating from 102 owners is solid but not glowing. The Slayer Red is smaller and lighter (3.32 oz, aluminum) and rates higher at 4.6 from 35 owners, though that is a much smaller sample.

• Choose the Coast GX35 if you need a bright, long-throw light for outdoor, industrial or emergency use and want to fall back on alkaline batteries.
• Choose the Coast Slayer Red if you want a compact pocket light with a red beam, magnets and fast USB-C charging.
