7:00 pm EST to HST — 2:00 pm HST

7:00 pm Eastern Time (EST) is 2:00 pm Hawaii Time (HST) while both regions are on standard time. During the daylight saving period the answer becomes 1:00 pm, because one of the two zones shifts its clocks and the other does not.

Standard time

2:00 pm

Applies while neither zone is on daylight saving — broadly November to March in the northern hemisphere.

Daylight saving

1:00 pm

Applies while the clocks are forward. This pair does not keep a constant gap, so check the date.

How the two zones line up

Eastern Time runs at UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 in summer. Hawaii Time runs at UTC−10 and UTC−10 respectively. Take the difference between the two, add it to 7:00 pm, and you get the local time on the other side.

Daylight saving

This pair is one of the awkward ones: the gap between the two zones is not constant, so a meeting booked in one season drifts by an hour in the other. Diary invitations sent as a fixed clock time rather than as a calendar event are the usual casualty.
