About Coast HP3R 500 Lumen Rechargeable LED Penlight
Overall Feedback:
93% positive
95% appreciated its adjustable beam focus, although 5% found it limited
I was warned not to adjust the light in a certain way as it gets very hot and almost caused me to drop it.
94% appreciated its long-lasting battery life, but 6% experienced quick drainage
I have never had an issue with the battery life of this handheld flashlight and have used it for extended periods of time without any problem.
On bright mode, the battery life is poor and it dies after 30 minutes of use.
My first flashlight was a daily carry for about a year and a half, but it had battery issues and the tail switch would make the light flicker.
My flashlight was ruined after a month due to the battery leaking out.

93% were satisfied with its brightness, while 7% found it dim
I use the lower setting for distances less than 10 feet and the brighter setting for distances more than 10 feet.
The flashlight lasts for 18-24 months before I need a new one due to lumen brightness fading from heavy usage.
I find it annoying when the flashlight goes from dim to bright every time I press the button.
96% praised for its rugged construction, but 4% experienced durability issues
The light has been through many challenging situations such as being wet and dropped in oil, but it is still very durable and has never had any issues.
My flashlight survived a washing machine trip when it was only 6 months old.
I tend to use the lower setting since most of my uses have been shining this flash light at a distance of less than ten feet in front of my face.
The flashlight is small but shines brighter than the sun.

96% liked its comfortable grip and handling, though 4% found it awkward
The handheld flashlight is bright and comfortable to hold.
I almost burnt my thumb and forefinger due to the heat emitted by the light. I always pinch over a penlight to reduce the amount of light, but it did not work with this flashlight. I love the light but warn others to beware of the heat.
84% liked the intuitive switch and interface, but 16% found it confusing
I appreciate the USB rechargeable feature of the flashlight, similar to charging a cell phone.
The switch type and interface of the light is not good. The tail cap got wet and cycled the switch a few times while using it, which broke the switch.
The tail switch makes the light flicker.
94% appreciated its water and shock resistance, but 6% experienced issues
The light has been wet and dropped in oil without any issues, proving its durability.
My flashlight stopped working after a month and the rechargeable battery leaked out, ruining it.
96% liked its lightweight and compact design
The flashlight is very small and compact, and it's easy to carry in any pocket.
I have been carrying this light in my shirt pocket every day at work for about 4 years now. It is lightweight and portable.
The flashlight performs well over a long period and is the perfect size to carry on a belt or in a pocket.
