Choose the KL35R if you want a 24 g USB-C rechargeable light with four brightness modes, a red light, and a built-in area light for everyday carry.

Pros
  • Recharges over USB-C, so no disposable batteries.
  • 24 g and 3.2 inches long, small enough for a keyring loop or pocket clip.
  • Four brightness modes plus red light and an area light.
  • Up to 16 hours on low.
  • IP54 rated against dust and splashes.
Cons
  • Only 2 ratings, so the 5-star score is thin evidence.
  • Polymer body is less rugged than aluminum.
  • No stated lumen output, so brightness is hard to compare.
  • Built-in battery cannot be swapped when it runs down.

What reviewers say

KL35R

Only 2 ratings are on record, both 5 out of 5, so the sample is too small to call a consensus. Owners of this class of Coast clip light tend to value the low weight and USB-C charging.

Pros
  • Light weight for pocket carry
  • Convenient USB-C charging
  • Useful red light mode
Cons
  • Short Turbo runtime
  • Plastic body

Coast G50 LED 148 Lumens Flashlight

Owners describe the G50 as a small but very bright, easy-to-use light, and many praise Coast's warranty and customer service for replacing faulty units quickly. The main complaints are the lack of ridges on the head and the use of AAA batteries instead of AA.

Pros
  • Very bright for its small size
  • Simple one-click on/off
  • Long battery life
  • Warranty and customer service that replace faulty lights
Cons
  • No ridges on the light output, so it can overheat if left standing on
  • Uses AAA batteries instead of AA for longer usage time
Reviews
  • Definitely recommend the G50 flash light!
  • great little flashlights

Questions and answers

Which is better for everyday carry?
The KL35R. At 24 g with a pocket clip and keyring loop, it disappears in a pocket, and USB-C charging means no battery runs to manage. The G50 at 5.78 oz is better suited to a glovebox, toolbox or pack.
Which is brighter?
The G50 is rated 355 lumens; the KL35R does not publish a lumen figure but reaches 128 m. The G50's twist focus also throws a tighter spot, so it wins on raw output.
Which lasts longer on one charge or set of batteries?
The KL35R runs up to 16 hours on low and 1 h 30 min at the top end. The G50 runs 1 h 30 min on high, but you can swap in fresh AAA batteries instead of waiting to recharge.
Is the G50 worth $5 more?
Only if you want aluminum construction, a focusable beam and swappable AAA batteries. If you want light weight and recharging, the KL35R costs less and does both.
Which handles rain better?
The KL35R is rated IP54, which covers dust and splashing water. The G50 is IPX4, splash resistant only, with no dust rating.
Do either come with a warranty?
Coast backs the G50 with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The KL35R listing does not state a warranty.
