[0.395 lb] I want to start off by saying that I recieved this light from coast at no cost to myself in order to test and review. Also, I do not work on job sites, I am a service plumber and I work in residential homes 99% of the time.
I had this sitting on my dash for a while because I never knew I needed a headlamp (lol) I was happy and have been happy with the hp7/hp7r for a long long time now probably about 10 years. I started using this thing 2 days ago and it hasn’t left my hat since. I took it home by accident because I forgot it was there.

So things I like about it:

It’s small and lightweight, barely noticeable on the head.

It swivels up and down which is awesome if you’re kneeling to work and need to see things on the floor.

It has a DIMMER which is pretty cool you slide it left and right to control the brightness of the light.

If you use the regular light for long enough, and press the button, it shuts the light off and does not switch to the red light. Otherwise if you press the button twice in succession it goes to the red light.

The led light is bright enough to work with but not bright enough to reflect off things and blind you (lol)

The red light ON THE BACK is EXCELLENT for bike riding at night, I’m not sure if that was intentional but it’s a perk.

The battery life is great, I’ve been using it for about 12 hours now and it’s not dead.

Things I do not like:

It’s battery powered and it doesn’t come with a rechargeable battery. They really need to start making some of these things with accessible/serviceable/changeable integral rechargeable batteries with charging ports, that would make life a lot easier.

[ 2 to 14 Hours] I have been using this light regularly for weeks now, and it is by far my favorite headlamp. It is very comfortable to wear, while remaining secure on my head with almost no movement, no matter the task that I'm doing. It could be brighter, but for most tasks, it is more than bright enough. I really like the adjustable brightness, instead of just one or two preset brightness levels. I do wish that by default, the light came with a rechargeable battery, with the backup option of using AAA batteries, but the rechargeable battery isn't too expensive, and is worth buying.

[ 2 to 14 Hours] I have nothing to complain about I did break the hinge on the front light but I broke because I left it sitting on a tire and it fell off and got ran over and the only thing to happen is the hinge broke the upside to this light is the red light on the back great for onroad service it helps ppl see me at least I red light when I'm turned away from cars driving by. ( and yes i wear a safety vest its just time to replace it gonna get the light up vest Coast sells when I'm able to afford it) just running both the regular light and the back red lights it does go thru battery's but still worth the money

[ 2 to 14 Hours] Best headlamp I have owned. Super bright light and battery life is above expectations. Do yourself a favor if your looking for a great headlamp this is the one to buy.

[ 2 to 14 Hours] Great headlamp. Red light at back a plus. Like the dial for brightness control, and easy on / off button. Grippy strap is great too.

[ 2 to 14 Hours] Another quality headlamp from coast. Excellent battery life for a headlamp.
