To say this light is bright is an understatement. I first purchased the LED Lenser P5R because of its small size, bright light, and adjustable beam. The P5R and M7R have about the same brightness but there is a big duration difference. The light brightness in both is controlled by a computer chip for longer battery life. In the P5R the brightness reduces to about 15% after 15-20 minutes. Still pretty bright. The M7R maintains full power for about 50 minutes then gradually reduces. With either if you turn it off then back on you're back to full brightness. I don't bother with the different programmed modes for the light except for full power, dimmed, and strobe. I use the dimmed because in close quarters the light can be just TOO bright. I just use the strobe to mess with people. You have to play with it to figure out how to change the modes but once you get the hang of it they are simple to change. The light is fairly light but made of sturdy aluminum. It would be nice to have a roll preventative ring on it. I think one can be purchased. The recharger is simple to use with a light that glows red to show it's charging or green to show it's charged. It comes with a lanyard, belt clip and a case that's so nice it probably added $10 to the cost. The only real drawback is that the light is only weather resistant. Can't use this for night snorkeling like I did with my mini-mag lights. I have no regrets about my purchase of this light.

This is a great little light. I carry it every day for work. The only two functions I use are the high and low settings,which are easily selected. The high setting is so bright I have to turn it to low when using it at close range or it washes everything out(ie reading people's IDs). The adjustable beam size is also very nifty for switching between details like searching an open grassy field with a tight beam to performing a building search with a wide beam to illuminate entire rooms. Several of the guys at work liked mine so much they bought one as well. The charger is also very nice with the magnetic docking station. I'll probably buy another one of these lights to throw in my toolbox in the garage.

I have owned this light since March 2011, and so far there have been no issues. This is my 3rd LED Lenser (Coast) flashlight, and my first that is rechargeable. I also have 3 of their headlamps (also great). This light comes with a plastic roto-molded case that seems nice but I unloaded it when I got it and have never used it since. It seems too bulky to use for travel, which I think was the intended purpose. I just wind up the cord around the charger and stow it in my suitcase. The light is always on my hip, so that needs no packing. The belt clip is secure but it is hard to get the light out of it until it gets broken in. I never pull the light outward to take it off I just slide it up and out of the clip. Going back into the clip gives a firm snap and whether you've got just the tip near the cap or somewhere in the middle, it is very secure. The clip rotates to allow use while it is on your belt. I use this feature several times a day and it saves from turning on lights while I close up our house for the evening. The clip can also be used to convert the light to a "stand" model. I use this when I am camping and power outages. I take off the top (lens) and slide the housing down to expose the LED for an all-around light.

I carry this light every day and charge it about 3 or 4 times a week. The battery life is great and for me this is saying something. I also own the rechargeable Mag-Charger (size of a 3-D cell light) and it is listed as 2 hours life, similar to the M7R. The difference is that the Ni-Cd battery in the Mag loses its capacity steadily over its life, and the LiPo battery in the Coast does not. The Mag uses a krypton bulb instead of an LED and while both lights warm with use, the Mag is dangerously hot. Only on one or two occasions have I run out of light before the end of the day.

While Coast does not specify that this light is water proof or even water resistant (at least that I have found), I can say that this light has been submerged several times in less than 2M of water (even an outdoor portable toilet once! For some reason my youngest son dropped it in, and after some fishing with a scrap of wood and a piece of wire we got it out. That night I rinsed it off and the next day I disassembled it, cleaned all the parts and put a light grease on the O-rings.) It has never failed me.

After more than a year, the light still looks great and functions perfectly. I have read reviews that claim that the lens is cracked on these and that is common, but mine is not optically clear. It seems like if it was cracked it would be visible in the projected beam.

Things I would change: Make the light roll resistant and include colored gels or caps for the light. Green and red for viewing pipes and preserving night vision.

This torch (flashlight) is ideal for my needs. I own several Led Lensers which work great, but are all somewhat battery killers. The M7R neatly addresses this shortcoming by introducing a rechargeable lithium-ion battery as the power source. My usual concern with using devices with this power source is getting caught out if they should go flat in the field, as this battery technology is commonly built-in and can be slow to charge. In the M7R this is not the case, the battery is replaceable and pre-charged extra batteries can be carried as emergency spares. The torch focus system works perfectly and the included magnetically attached charger/optional wall bracket are just great. The supplied quality carry case rounds off this set a treat. I've been using this torch for a month or so now and can't fault it, it is very bright (seems brighter than many higher powered torches) but can easily be dimmed when necessary. I would buy another one in a heartbeat if required.

I just recently purchased this light for my job. I cannot believe how bright it is. The manual mentions all the functions, but I have still not used them all. (I think the light is smarter than me.) I'm just having a little trouble figuring out on how to use the other functions. When it is on, Wow it's bright. I'm replacing my Stinger LED light due to a bad switch. Have fun with this light, I know I will.
