💡 Coast HP1 190 Lumen Pure Beam Focusing LED Flashlight in Sleek Black Design: A Powerful Lighting Solution Review

I have a lot of flashlights - about 100 different flashlights. I've tested flashlights ranging in price from $1 to $200 and everything in between. Lately I've been liking lights that are in the lower third of the price spectrum. The build quality of these 60$ 10$ flashlights has improved so much over the past few years that they are surpassing my best flashlights from just 5-10 years ago. While my high-end mission-critical tubes are still improving, they don't seem to be improving as fast as…

I don't believe in using Revain as a try-and-may-be-buy service, except for their wardrobe, which they specifically invite you to. Otherwise I would return it. I've looked at so many flashlights looking for a small no hot rod flashlight with easy on/off and easy charging that I must be confused. This light is small. About the perfect size. IF you modify it with better internals (an entirely different discussion that the passive casual user doesn't need or care about). I wanted easy zoom…

I recently bought a Coast HP1 because I was intrigued by the unique magnification mechanism. A little background: most cheap zoom flashlights use an aspheric lens. In fact, it's a magnifying glass that sits over the LED and is mounted on a sliding frame. In the chute position, the lens retracts close to the top of the LED. This usually creates a wide, even circle of light. Rings or other beam artifacts caused by reflections within the light source may appear. In spot mode, the frame expands…

Haven't long tested this Coast HP1 yet, but it works with a battery I removed from another unbranded EDC flashlight that had the LED already flickering (meaning the battery is dead). No Name Chinese Lantern (usually sold in bulk) cannot be compared to this one. I ordered 3 and only tried one. The switch works reliably every time, which was not the case with flashlights from other brands. The spotlight is a wide, round beam, evenly distributed, and works well out to about 5 meters away and up to
