I've been using Coast flashlights for work and play for several years now and I needed a quality, new small one that was superbright & used AAA batteries and the HP8307T exceeded all my expectations and more. After visiting the Coast website (highly recommended) and reading some of the reviews on it, this was the one I wanted. They make a rechargeable power version, but opted for the battery one. I ordered it through Amazon's market place through Hardware Sales because it was the best price with free shipping I could find. I ordered it on Wednesday night and promptly received it that Saturday afternoon US priority mail, now that is fast shipping. It comes in a nice gift box with 4 AAA batteries, a lanyard, a rotating (for different angles)Coast LED Lenser HP8307T Focusing LED Flashlight with Strobe MT7 belt clip holder and also with easy to understand instructions in 8 different languages. This review is long, but is thorough.
It is packed with features. It has 2 energy modes. In the Energy saving mode (utilizing the SLT technology), with the flashlight off, touch the button slightly 8 times in succession (observe the light flashes), wait and then depress the button completely in once more. It will light bright and slowly fade to off within 5 secs. This will enable the flashlight to burn 100% for approx. 2 minutes, then within 5 minutes will reduce the power to 50% for another 25 minutes and finally reduce to 15% until the batteries are exhausted. For the constant current energy mode, again with the flashlight off if button is slightly pushed another 8 times in succession, wait and push the button down completely once more, it enables the constant current energy mode. The light will be bright, reduces to 60% bright in a few seconds then abruptly shut off. This enables the flashlight again burn 100% for about 2 minutes and then reduces within 5 minutes to 60% burn, but only this time it remains at 60% burn until the battery is exhausted, there is no drop off.
It has 3 operational functions: Professional mode, Easy mode and Defense Mode. You have to program the flashlight to set to 1 of the 3 modes. To do this, while flashlight is off, slightly push the button 4 times (observe the light flashes) and then depress the button to turn on then observe the flashes. Repeat this process to get to the other modes. It will flash once, twice or three times then turns itself off, depending on what mode your in. Professional mode 1 flash, Easy mode 2 flashes and Defense mode 3 flashes.
Professional mode (5 functions) has tactical light 130% bright depress button slightly, push button once for bright, touch button & release again for low light or touch button and hold for variable brightness (hold until your desired brightness, you'll see the graduation), touch again and release for steady on off-on off flashing, touch again and release for S.O.S. signal mode and finally touch again and release for bright strobing, rapid on-off mode for defense mode (It is quite blinding too). Depress button to turn unit off. Easy mode (2 functions), which is what I use, has tactical light by depressing slightly on the button, push once for constant bright, touch button slightly for low or dim mode or touch and hold to variably adjust the brightness of the dim lighting. Push button down again to turn off. Defense Mode (2 functions), push button slightly for tactical lighting. Push button once for bright light 100% and touch slightly again for strobing rapid flashing. Push button again to turn off.
It is professionally built with quality high grade aluminum, water-resistent gaskets, 24 carat gold plated contacts, microprocessor controlled switch, advanced focus system visable up to 1540 ft., the best quality led is used, 220 lumens superbright-180 bright-variable dim, heat thermal safety, 3.5 to 11 hours run time with 4 AAA alkaline batteries, one handed speed focus with lock, is superbright for it's size (5-1/2" in length) and is fully warranted for any defects for life. I do prefer the Coast 0039 smart case for it that features different color lenses and rotating clip case on their website.
Expensive, but WELL WORTH it. A perfect gift for home, automobiles, recreation, hunters, fishermen, field personnel, security, women or for someone that has everything. If you want the very best flashlight in it's class and is priced right, this is it. I highly recommend it.
