The Coast HP7 is the best flashlight I've ever owned, its LED light is phenomenal with the option to quickly switch between a high and a low output, using the same hand holding it. Powering the Coast HP7 is as simple as pushing a rubber button at the top of the handle. By the way, this power switch might be useful to send international Morse code, in case of an emergency. The switch is very sensitive, so if one presses it briefly, it allows the intermittency needed for the code. Most of the time, we will only need a firm push to light it up. Along with this review, I'm posting a picture of the Coast HP7.
It also comes with a clip-on case and a tie-in in handle.
One issue that I noticed, and I think is worthy of sharing, is the fact that the design of the Coast HP7 has a flaw which eventually make the batteries loose inside the cylinder and later hot when the flashlight is on. I discovered this when I tipped the flashlight over my desk by accident, it was off, and when I put it back on, it worked fine, but after a few minutes it started to get extra hot too fast.
I could feel the heat in the handle. I turned it off, opened it to check out that the batteries (which, by the way, were still new). Then I noticed that a couple of batteries were still making contact with the electric connections, but not all the way in, I removed all the batteries, placed them back in, being sure they were set right, and put the flashlight back on. It didn't overheated again.
So, if you ever drop it, or carry it around for a while, simply check that the batteries are in the right place before turning it on, and if you forget, and it start to get warm, turn it off immediately and check the batteries out.
Other than that, this flashlight is excellent; I like its size, and portability. It comes in a really nice box that would make a nice gift for anybody, since this is the type of tool one always need handy. I'm keeping it on my nightstand in case of an outrage in the middle of the night; it also helps to light under the kitchen sink or in dark corners in closets.
