About the Product

A perfect mix of size, form, and performance, the HP7 Flashlight is rightfully one of our most popular handheld lights. It combines our Pure Beam Focusing System with Slide Focus with high, medium, and low output modes to illuminate with either a super wide flood beam or spot mode with transition halo at varying distances and brightness all controllable with one hand.

The P7 is the most popular LED Lenser model in the market today. This light features the perfect balance of design, functionality, and durability. Quick one-handed focusing, a powerful 175 lumens, and a beam distance of up to 630 feet. All of this and a dynamic switch that offers three easy-to-operate levels of bightness make the P7 the perfect choice for work, home, or adventures.

What customers say about "Key Specs"

Coast HP7-1 530 Lumen Focusing LED Flashlight with Slide Focus and Beam Lock

It's also small enough to fit in my pocket, but large enough to provide plenty of light for both of my kids and myself to make it to the bathroom during camping trips, or to find a small object we may have dropped.
I really liked this flash light but last year it started just flickering and turning itself off for no reason.
Coast has better products for those features, but if you are looking for an adjustable beam (lockable none the less) flashlight that is extremely well made and bright enough for most outdoor activities and light painting in photography, then you definitely may want to consider this Coast product.
For those interested in the tactical version of this light, the light from the non-tactical version was much whiter than the light from the tactical version.
It has glass magnifying optics and a super bright light. I really like it and own several of them! Coast makes great flashlights and I have 8-10 of them of various sizes.

LED Lenser P7 (880003) High-Performance Tactical Flashlight with Speed Focus

The P7 is nice n bright, has pretty good run time for aaa's and the beam is pretty good for an old tech slide focus.
I use(d) my P7 when I take my dogs for walks after dark. Generally been pretty pleased with it...bright, controllable, decent battery life.
Awesome. Good light, sliding action to focus rather than turning.
I love the speed focus and the brightness of the lazer light.

Coast HP7-1 530 Lumen Focusing LED Flashlight with Slide Focus and Beam Lock

I bought this flashlight after buying a pocket sized penlight that was quite well built and bright for its size.
Wow. This is a well made unit, with quality everywhere. A great size and weight.
The two are twins, having the same features and differing only in size and power. They both get five stars because of their useful features and their rock-solid construction.
For its size and weight I find this to be one of my favorite flashlights.
It's well made and it's seems to be a nice size.

What customers say about "Features"

Coast HP7-1 530 Lumen Focusing LED Flashlight with Slide Focus and Beam Lock

Rotate and extend the head slightly to change from flood to spot, ideal for lighting something very far away.
Simple controls and nothing you don't need. Fits in your pocket perfectly for EDC. Push/pull focus works easily with one hand. Great for the price!
The Coast HP7 was extremely well engineered and gave off the highest quality of clean controllable light.
Excellent brightness and control ergonomics - but body is a little slippery, needs coarser knurling for good grip. Nice holster included.
I have fairly large hands and I liked being able to hold it comfortably in my left hand and easily operate the simple control button, with it feeling comfortable and almost an extension of my reach.

LED Lenser P7 (880003) High-Performance Tactical Flashlight with Speed Focus

I like the forward on hi/ reverse for low. One of my favorite lights. And I have some pretty pricey ones.
The best is that satisfying feel that a tech savvy person is rewarded with. It begins with the looks, continues with the haptics and, of course, the usage.
Last week, the switch failed. Push the button and HOLD it, the thing will light, as long as the button is held.
Only bad thing is the case comes with it the Velcro sucks, did not last a year of wear.

What customers say about "Power"

Coast HP7-1 530 Lumen Focusing LED Flashlight with Slide Focus and Beam Lock

The Streamlights are always running out of battery power and though they have rechargeable batteries I find myself constantly needing to charge them.
The package includes 2 AA batteries, a lanyard and carry pouch that can worn on your belt.
High and low power means great tradeoffs between battery life and intensity. Very satisfied!
Very powerful light source using latest amazing LED technology. Great battery life.,, and I like the variable beam.
Batteries seem to last a long time.

LED Lenser P7 (880003) High-Performance Tactical Flashlight with Speed Focus

Batteries with a 10 year shelf life had a couple years to go. Nuff said.
Also using just 4 AAA batteries. Excellent. Thank you.
Mine is ruined - Duracell batteries are great but in this flashlight leaked over the winter and by spring now I couldn't even get the flashlight opened because the mess was so bad inside from leaked batteries.
When it worked it worked great. After Duracel batteries leaked it was shot.
