4.0 out of 5 stars title for my review, August 3, 2007

Excellent high quality light. Perfect for any professional that needs a reliable, lightweight flashlight.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the slight blueish color of the light, the ad said a "white" LED. It is not a true white light and I was a bit disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Plenty bright with decent throw for an LED., September 2, 2006

This light has a lot of good qualities. The anodized aluminum casing is solid and the endcap houses the switch. It conludes full-on and momentary mode and it's pretty hard to accidentally leave it on. The LED is quite bright and runs well on the 3 AAA batteries. I like that it uses easily replaceable batts for emergencies. The triple As fit into a plastic insert and this is about the only thing that worries me about it's construction. The LED itself sits behind a thick clear plastic "lens" that helps with the light dispersment. Seems to run for quite a long time on the batteries while maintaining it's brightness. It has a decent throw, at 40' it's very useful and it's still okay at 60-70'.

All in all, quite solidly built and I've had no problems. It's a bit pricey, but seems to be of good quality. The o-ring on the back cap was broken, so had to be replaced, but I guess I can live with that. Mine came with a decent nylon sheath (better than most flashlight sheathes I've had), though I don't know if the model on Amazon has it included.

5.0 out of 5 stars After losing my first one - I bought a second to look for the first, June 30, 2009

This review is from: V2 LED Lenser Power Chip Flashlight (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought my first 7736 at Home Depot about a year ago to prepare for a hurricane. I didn't need it for the storm but since have used it almost everyday. It's light weight, very bright, and lasts a long time on three AAA batteries. I'm a reserve police officer and use it while on duty. It compares very close to the Streamlights and Surefires that the other officers use (no strobe function though). You can easily hold this light in your mouth if you need both hands for something.

Two weeks ago I lost my light while riding my motorcycle to work. I have searched the 7.5 miles of road between my home and office many times. I miss that light so much, I even considered putting up "Lost" posters.

Tonight I went by Home Depot to look at their flashlight selection and to my delight the still carried the Coast brand. My 8 year old son talked me into getting another 7736. Well, this new one is even better. It feels lighter, seems brighter, and the battery compartment is now permanently attached to the end/switch. No buyers remorse paying twice for such a great little flashlight.

I really wanted the T7 (8420) but needed a light by Saturday. This one will do great and only costs half of what a T7 costs. Perhaps I can use the new one to hunt for the missing one...
