Coast HP7 Flashlight Review (Similar to Led Lenser P7)

Coast Products design and manufacture reasonably priced LED flashlights. The HP in HP7 stands for High Performance, and this flashlights matches up to its name by giving out 251 lumens on high, which shines out to 196m. It lasts a very surprising 5 hours and 45 minutes off of 4 ordinary AAA batteries. It also has a low mode that gives out 58 lumens. In low mode, the battery lasts for 10h, while shining out to 66m.

The HP7's body is made out of anodized aluminium, and it also features a rubber tailcap switch, a lanyard hole, and a spot to flood focusing head. Due to the spot to flood head, this light is a bit larger than other flashlights on the market. It measures about 150mm in length, the body diameter is about 32mm, and the head diameter is about 38mm. Even though of its larger size, the flashlight feels amazing in hand. The light is also impact resistant, and water resistant to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

The Coast HP7 also has what Coast call a "Pure Beam FOcusing Optic", which has a fingertip speed focus adjustment. This means that the light gives a even disribution of light in flood mode, and in spot mode, it gives an extremely bright hotspot, with a dimmer surrounding. The fingertip speed focus adjustment, means that the light can go from spot to flood without hassle. The head also can lock in place when you find your desired position. I love the flood mode, where there are no shadows at all, and the light covers a very large diameter.

The flashlight has momentary on, and you can cycle through the two modes very easily, and then push the switcg a little harder to select the mode you want. The tailswitch is protected by the tailcap, which means that this light can easily tailstand. A holster is included in the set, as well as some batteries, so the flashlightn is ready to use out of the box. All Coast products are also backed with a 5 year guarantee.

This flashlight is amazing value for money, and has a lot of the features of some more expensive lights. If your after an extremely good value for money flashlight which can change from spot to flood with no problem, this is the light for you.
You can buy the flashlight from Amazon at

  1. By the way, if you are interested in buying an HP7 then (while stocks last) please note you can get it at the same price with a free BONUS torch, in the form of our G19 54 lumens Inspection Torch (worth £10.95), ideal pocket-sized but with a fantastic even beam pattern.

    Just ask your nearest COAST stockist for the HP7/G19 Combo-Pack, or check online?
