Portland, OR, November 2, 2011 – Coast Products has announced the all-new HP7 LED flashlight at the AAPEX Show in Las Vegas. Featuring the very latest Coast technology, in a rugged 5.5 inch aluminum casing, the HP7 projects 207 lumens of brilliant light with four AAA batteries (included), delivering a runtime of 3.5 hours. It has a beam distance of 187 meters (613 feet) and offers high and low beam modes.
The new HP7 LED flashlight
Not Just Brighter – Better
The Coast HP7 delivers the latest in LED technology, including features that only Coast can delivery. Proprietary advances like these come standard on the HP7:
Pure Beam™ Focusing System -Coast’s patent-pending optics produces a pure, bright consistency across the entire beam; no matter if you want the tightest spot or widest flood of light. And Coast’s unique spot-beam optics provide a clear, bright center, while also showing a wide angle “halo” so you can see what’s going on around your primary target. So now you see what you’ve been missing before.
Fingertip Speed Focus Control™ -In another first from Coast, users can keep one hand free while focusing the flashlight with their thumb or finger, by moving the front bezel forward or back.
Beam Lock™ System – with just a twist of the front bezel, you can lock your light into the precise beam size for your task, from focused spot beam to broad flood beam.
Cyclone™ Heat Sink System – another ingenious, and important, Coast exclusive. A cylindrical aluminum pedestal sits below the LEDs and decreases heat buildup, facilitating maximum light output and increasing LED lifespan.

“Like all our new professional lights, the HP7 has improved light output and optical quality,” said David Brands, Coast president. “These are the two most important factors in the performance of flashlights and headlamps.” Even before perfecting the latest optics, pros and consumers could see the difference. In fact, 41% of shoppers in a point-of-sale comparison picked Coast flashlights over the next three most popular brands, almost double the number of the nearest competitor (Riley Research, 2010).
