COAST RL35R: Talking To Your Light
A voice activated headlamp for times when your hands are full
The COAST RL35R starts there—but adds something unexpected. You can control it with your voice.
At first that sounds like a novelty. Then you try using a light while both hands are busy, you’re wearing gloves, or you’re wedged into a place where reaching a switch is the last thing you want to do. That’s when the feature starts making real sense.
Beyond the voice control, this is still a serious tool:
Up to 1,100 lumens with spot, flood, and area lighting
Multiple color LEDs for preserving night vision
Rear battery pack for balanced, all-day wear
Rechargeable with backup battery options for the field
Built to handle work, not just camping trips
In other words, it’s a capable headlamp first—with a little extra functionality that can make life easier when things get complicated.
I put it through its paces and broke down where it shines (and who will actually benefit from the tech).
