HP7 LED Flashlight
For many people, a flashlight is almost a novelty item, spending most of the year in a drawer until camping season rolls around. For some professionals, however, such as those in law enforcement, a tactical flashlight is an important toolthat can help them perform their jobs safely and effectively. At COAST Products, we offer flashlights at a variety of price points to cater to both types of individuals.

Our hearty congratulations to Matthew T. of Indianapolis, Ind., for winning an HP21 LED flashlight from COAST Products! We hope you enjoy your new high-performance flashlight, the best and brightest of its class.
Home inspectors use LED flashlights on a regular basis as part of their home inspection routine. It’s not surprising, then, that the American Society of Home Inspectors recently published its “Flashlight Shootout 2012,” an in-depth review of several high-end LED flashlights – including three of our flashlights and one of our headlamps. We’re happy to say the rugged construction, brightness and focusing capabilities of our LED flashlights received high marks.
Each LED flashlight was rated based on the same set of criteria: battery life and efficiency; brightness over 200 lumens; handling ability; and light color. Here’s a snapshot of how our LED flashlights fared: (more…)
As our new LED flashlight line makes its way around the globe, reviews are popping up all over the internet. Most recently, there have been a number of reviews of the Coast HP7 LED flashlight.
Available at Lowes.com, among other retailers, the HP7 is considered the mainstay of the Coast LED flashlight product line. As a high-end flashlight – selling for around $50 – the HP7 offers a remarkably high value for its price; online reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. The following is a look at what some reviewers are saying about the HP7 LED flashlight. (more…)
One of the things we at COAST are most proud of is that firefighters (among other public service personnel) often choose our tactical LED flashlight models for use in the field. Because firefighting is such a demanding job, an LED flashlight for tactical use must meet much higher standards in terms of power, utility and durability than a flashlight intended for general use.
Of the different types of firefighters out there, wildland firefighters have one of the most rugged and potentially dangerous jobs in existence. Wildland firefighters battle uncontrolled wildfires, often located in the middle of nowhere; their job requires different equipment, training and techniques than firefighting in more populated areas. For example, an urban firefighter will use a powerful tactical LED flashlight for searching burning buildings, whereas a wildland firefighter will more commonly need illumination for navigating outdoor areas at night.

As the LED flashlight market continues to grow, the disparity between high-quality and low-end models is widening. When it comes to finding a cutting-edge LED flashlight, savvy consumers these days look for LED innovation, including new features developed through quality research and design.
We’re an industry leader in LED innovation, combining superior optics with other innovative technology to help improve the performance of every LED flashlight we produce. Here’s a look at some of the new design features you’ll see on COAST flashlights:
According to a recent report from the World Health Organization, 37 million people are blind worldwide, and 90 percent live in poor nations where eye care is inaccessible. One of the major crisis regions for this problem is Africa. There, millions remain blind without the assistance of modern medicine or eye care. To highlight this problem, the first week in March has been dubbed “Save Your Vision Week.”
Here at COAST, we spend a lot of time researching, studying and developing optics systems for our LED flashlights, so we have a deep appreciation for how the human eye works. That’s why we jumped at the chance to partner with Mercy Ships – an international charity founded in 1978 – to help bring mobile eye care centers to Sierra Leone in Africa.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could put on a pair of special glasses and see the world through the eyes of an expert? For instance, a trip to the art museum would look very different if we could slip into the viewpoint of Jackson Pollack or Vincent Van Gogh. In many ways, the Internet is the modern equivalent of those magical glasses. Shopping is an entirely different experience today than it was a decade ago, because today we can automatically pull up advice from product experts.
Below is a list important flashlight characteristics that flashaholics tend to list in their LED flashlight reviews, to help make it easier for you to choose between LED flashlights. (more…)
