Coast LED Flashlights
Coast Brand LED Flashlights.
I'm not exactly sure when things began to change, but change things have just the same. Sometimes changes are certainly for the better, and this is certainly true when it comes down to the common consumer's ability to get a superior product, and when it's all said and done, to have that product, and continue to use it for a longer and more satisfactory time period than he had been able with the previous product that was replaced by the newer one.
Coast brand LED flashlights are so far and away superior to the common flashlights, even the best of them, of old that there's probably never going to be anyone who's even willing to stand up for the flashlights of days gone by.
In the past when I was forever crawling into spaces and hidden corridors in various and sundry buildings of the Dallas Independent School District, every craftsman worth his salt carried with him a Mag brand flashlight, and these were surely the best flashlights that were commonly known, and reasonably affordable. They were small, and they fit snugly and inconspicuously onto a holster that would attach at the hip via the workman's belt. Police officers the world over also carried very large Mag brand flashlights that doubled as large clubs with which they could beat the common poor person over the head, or murder them - as they'd surely never be able to afford protection or justice in an American court in the manner as those who lobbied to pass the laws protecting their own interest in the United States of America.
Today the craftsman who works on and in homes and commercial or otherwise large buildings still carries with him a small and very bright flashlight for the times he has to crawl into the uninhabited spaces, or the spaces sometimes inhabited by mice. The policeman still, by and large, protects the very wealthy businessman's business interest, and he still serves to protect the poor by sending them to prison; and maybe, the less than intellectual police officer still carries a very large Mag brand assault flashlight.
In any case, the verdict is absolutely in, and the jury stands in unison declaring that the age of the incandescent light bulb used in flashlights is over. LED flashlights are so vastly superior in every single way - that no one at all can dispute it, and besides that, very few of the old incandescent flashlights are even being sold.

What Makes Coast Flashlights Superior?
Listen, anyone can waltz into any dollar store and buy a very bright LED flashlight powered by double A or triple A batteries, and that flashlight will be fine for a little while, but it won't last long, and this is a fact that I assure you to be true. Don't bother listening to me about that though, buy one yourself, and see for yourself. I've got several super cheap LED flashlights, and I can usually switch some parts around and find a configuration that works.
Cheap is cheap, and inexpensive for a reason. Then, there are Coast brand flashlights.
Coast brand flashlights are NOT cheap, and they aren't so inexpensive either. You get what you pay for in this world most of the time. When you pick up a Coast brand flashlight, you'll instantly see it's superiority, and you'll feel that superiority in your hands. The Coast brand flashlight will weigh two or three times as much as does the dollar store flashlight, and this is because of the superiority and durability of the materials used in the construction of the Coast brand flashlight.
Batteries are costly and important, and your cheap dollar store LED flashlight will be sucking the voltage out of them with regularity. Oh, you can most certainly squeeze some additional value from any light or any battery powered device by only using lithium batteries. Everyone with a brain knows that lithium batteries last much longer than do the alkaline batteries, and are also much better in value and time savings than are the rechargeable nickle cadmium batteries - but what most folks don't realize or bother to think about in the case of flashlights or other small devices involving either battery power or straight electricity from an alternating current outlet is the metals used in conducting that voltage and amperage makes such a vast difference in the quality and duration of service the device in question is able to offer.
Cell phones, computers, and Coast brand flashlights all use GOLD as the metal of conductivity inside them, and never will that cheap dollar store brand flashlight ever have such fine material in use. Gold is far and away the greatest conductor of electricity. I'd imagine that there are other brands of flashlight using gold conductors between their switches and their battery power, but I don't know of them, and I've never seen one. Coast brand LED flashlights, however, are readily available and should you be broken down in your vehicle on a dark deserted road, or should you be crawling underneath someone's snake infested peer and beam home or trailer home to repair something, you'll be relying on your flashlight, and you'll then appreciate the superior workmanship and value of your Coast Brand Flashlight!

Over the last year we've lost power a few times, and flashlights were our main source of light. We generally buy cheaper flashlights just to get by, but this is a great recommendation for a flashlight. Thanks!
OK, just researched them, tossed and turned on the TX40 or PX45, the later won out with the variable lumens. Let ebay and Amazon fight it out, eBay won this one. Purchased, one problem solved - thanks Wesman. Now off to write a hub - smile.
Coast has a very wide selection and priced very reasonable. I like the idea of the smaller ones for purses. Packing a powerful punch in lumens they offer both convenience to see and a self defense weapon too. Blind the son-of-a-gun then grab the mace, I say.
You can never tell in these days of recessions and world tensions when you might need a good flashlight. Those ones seem excellent. I may order myself one today.
Good read, great flashlight, fine writing! Thank you for this article.!
I'm so sick of cheap flashlights.. I'll look for these next time.
Hey tsmog - I doubt you'll find a better replacement than a Coast!!!! If you do find something that you feel is comparable, then let me know.
That thousand lumens light is pretty pricey - but OH MAN I want one!

Oh heck - I see you've bought one now! I used to own one...but it's turned up missing from my tools. It might turn up yet though, if not, then another will be on my Amazon wish list.
Hey stacyjwx - I think we can all "look forward" to more and more blackouts in the future....seems that the infrastructure that distributes electricity hasn't been as high a priority as has....things like war.
The batteries in a Coast will definitely last longer due to better conductivity via the gold contacts - but for a prolonged power outage....we should all stock up on candles.
Hi Wes
Thanks for sharing this useful information with us. I thought I had a flashlight but I don't. Now, I know not to waste my time buying a cheap one at the dollar store.
Voted up and awesome.
Hello Wes. Hey, It arrived Sat to my delight discovering it in the mailbox on Sun. I checked it out last night at work doing its job quiet well. I could see the back fence from the front, capturing a feral or two froze solid.
Playing like a little kid on Christmas day, a smile grew wide and far. The workmanship is superb, the weight just right not to cause hip pain wearing it, and offering a bit of security.
I placed a blurb to this hub on my most recent on candle power. Finding inspiration here, I was led on a journey in writing.
Thank you again for this hub and I ponder its Synchronicity.
Hey Christopher, PcUnix, Evelyn Mom, and SueSwan!!!!!!!!!!!
There's already a satisfied customer!!!! These things really are the best available for something as simple and necessary as a flashlight!
tsmog - THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I want is a Coast that straps to your head (um...MY head, I mean) you know, like a coal miner's light or something.
I do a lot of bicycle riding late or early when it's dark, and sometimes need to see something, or to make it to where I'm seen.
Nice article................ :)
winbo - thank you!
I really like talking about great products, and especially when they are things that truly are great, not fads, and that people maybe haven't heard of!
I like these LED lights because of their brightness and low energy requirements. Voting this Up and Useful.
Thanks alocsin!!!! I've got loads of cheap ones over here - nobody steals those, but the Coast brand flashlight that I used to have...has been stolen!

Wesman, what did you do? Are you psychic or what? Sitting on my counter is a flashlight now ready for the heap, dropped once to many. I depend on my flashlight at night at work, looking for skunks before I walk into the warehouse yard and shooing feral cats out of the warehouse too. It's been dark lately. Now, I am excited with a professional recommendation. My holster is empty and looking for 5 watts of power. Thank you for a very informative hub. Written down on my desk pad I will be searching Coast Flashlights out. Awesome. Happy Valentines day to you and yours , , ,
