COAST HP3R Rechargeable LED Penlight

Works great. I like the recharge function. Nice and bright.

2 YEAR UPDATE:I purchased this 2 years ago. I still use it every day. This is the best light I've ever owned. It still looks in near perfect condition and the blue finish has only slightly rubbed off on the tail where you twist it to open the charging port. This light is designed perfectly for every day carry. Most rechargeable lights cover the charging port with a small rubbber flap that is annoying and comes loose or falls off after about a year. This light's charging port being covered by metal and sealed with a rubber gasket is genius. After 2 years I've noticed the battery is slightly weaker, but only barely. It still holds a good charge and lasts me a week at a time without needing charged, however I don't use it constantly, it's a pen light after all, no pen light lasts a long time if you use it constantly because the batteries are small. They're meant for occasional use at night to spot things or walk to your truck in the woods.One feature I love is the low mode at 24 lumens. When most people purchase a light they look for how bright it is, but the dimmest setting on this light is great. At night, you can see very clearly on dim and it doesn't ruin your night vision as bad as a super bright light would. The battery does run down a lot faster if you use the brightest setting, but I rarely need it. After 2 years I still love this light. I might get a replacement battery in the future but for now it isn't necessary.

All flashlights are different. I learned the value of this light is in always being able to have a bright light with you, that lasts a long time. It's so light you don't realize you are carrying it on your person. While changing my starter, although I had a shop light directly on the subject, it just wasn't enough, and I pulled out the flashlight and cast a nice bright light to see the detail in the shadows I needed. The light comes with a very well designed clip, they secures the flashlight extremly well, yet easy to remove. Far easier than using a sheath. Stores well in the leg pocket of my jeans. I carry it 100 percent of the time.I bought most of the high end Coast flashlights and love them all. This has some real advantages I don't want to go without ever again. Bought one for my Dad he loved it so much when I showed it to him. I also bought an extra battery to carry for backup yet haven't run the first one down to need the second one. Still for the price I recommend a backup battery. Easy to charge and easy to swap batteries. I highly recommend. Thank you for your time. I hope this helps.

Dies pretty quickly, but mind you, this is a “penlight”. Designed for quick checks. I use it to peak at the brake pads. Fits in tight spaces. The wide to focus adjustment is solid. Good coverage. Was a bit difficult to get charger in at first, now plugs in no problem. Smooth overall. Comes with 3! Bite grips, extra batteries just in case, or non rechargeable batteries, not sure yet. Still going. Same modes as the headlight, which I love! Great lumens! Once I started using it “only as needed” it wouldn’t die so quickly. Recharges pretty fast with usb c. Good product. Well invented.

Nice small good quality flashlight. Extremely bright when you consider its size.

Couldn’t ask for a better EDC flashlightFits well in the pocket, long battery life and the twist focus is wonderfulI only charge it once a week and use it many times in a day, couldn’t find myself a better bang for my buck

While not as bright as the Streamlight Stylus 350 lumen, its made better and actually works. I went through 2 of the stylus rechargeables until Streamlight simply would not respond to me, going so far as to block me on twitter. This one wont leave you hanging, and the Streamlights, when working, would flicker nearly non-stop. They have been "half price" for months now. Here is a cheaper option, 3 brightness modes are nice, the bite caps save my teeth, C-type charging port. Good clip. Yup. No more Streamlights. Been buying them for 2 decades now...why they gotta go out like this?Update since purchase - I'm in love with this thing, its uh pretty badass. Tough, no flickers, low mode is super dim and perfect (you can see to walk through the woods, or see the marking on a hard-to-light-up part to get the part number. Never has gone dead on me yet. This is a solid performer. High is bright enough to see 100 meters into the woods, and definately lights up animal eyes when they peep at you. The low setting does that quite well actually.

This is a great flashlight for a good price and an. Even greater warranty(lifetime) through Coast. It has the perfect amount of size to weight ratio. I’ve dropped it with no issues making it surprisingly durable. I think the 500 lumen is the perfect amount of power/ light output for my needs. And it can run on alkaline batteries or the rechargeable, Highly recommended 👍👍👍
