USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The trouble with most penlights is that they are simply not bright enough for anything but close inspections. That all changed with the introduction of the Coast HP3R Penlight.

COAST HP3R Rechargeable Penlight

This little critter puts out a remarkable 245 lumens on high. That is more than a lot of standard sized flashlights. You have the option of using two AAA batteries or the included lithium-polymer rechargeable battery. Either way, you have a penlight that is truly useful.

This penlight has a high and a low setting. The high setting puts out the 245 lumens indicated above with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. The low setting converts this penlight into a regular inspection unit with a 26-lumen output, but with a 6-hour runtime. Both of the runtimes are very impressive for the lumen output.

And, if the lumen output was not a strong enough selling point, then the high beam illumination distance of 305 feet (93 meters) should convince you that this light should be a part of your regular field gear. It is ideal for hunters or backpackers who are in the mountains at night. It is compact, virtually unbreakable and carries a lifetime guarantee.

COAST HP3R Rechargeable Penlight specifications for the HP3R are:

  • Weight: 1.8 ounces (51 grams)
  • Length: 5.8125 inches (14.76 cm)
  • Twist Focus on high or low beam settings
  • Meets ANSI and FL1 standards
  • MicroUSB cord, automotive and AC wall adapters included

COAST HP3R Rechargeable Penlight Bottom line: This is the most powerful penlight on the market today (it’s more powerful than a lot of standard sized flashlights). Given its size, quality and lumen output there is no excuse why every outdoorsman should not have one in their kit. The truth be known, just about everyone who reads this would benefit by keeping one in the glove compartment of their vehicle.

With a 2018 MSRP of $90 ( Amazon has a deal at the time this article was posted, $58.19 & FREE Shipping) the HP3R isn’t cheap… BUT, given the peace of mind and safety that it would afford one under adverse conditions…. the price is right.

How does this differ from the ones I buy on Amazon for around ten bucks? They are bright as all get out.

Now redesign it with a RECESSED switch so the rhino doesn’t get turned on by accident. I have two $5 penlights with recessed switches that work just fine.

Americans, real Americans do not buy communist Chinese products. We do not buy from liberal companies in Antifa infected Portland, Oregon. We seek out and buy American made products, made by Americans in America!

Pretty tired of these reviews for un-American products! MAGA!

Rechargeable flashlights of any type are virtually GUARANTEED to have flat batteries at the moment you most need them. Anyone that doesn’t realize that must have never owned one. I can ALWAYS use a nice bright flashlight that runs on an easily replaced battery that I can also carry spares for and will sit, ready to be used, for YEARS with no further attention until it is needed. If I wanted rechargeable, I’ll use REMOVABLE rechargeable batteries, then I can carry spares for frequent use, and long shelf-life lithium or alkaline if I don’t feel like being the constant battery… Read more »
