We were shown this line during our annual vendor meetings. Nearest thing we can compare them to is the old Maglites, which many jobbers sold in good numbers. These lights make Maglites look like cheap goods.

Coast lights are German-made LED flashlights. They are obviously of very high quality. We were very impressed. Prices look to be comparable to Maglite.

"The brilliant beams of these hand held lighting instruments come from new, patented, opto-electronic technology, developed in Germany. This technology uses computerized diodes in place of standard bulbs and photon reflector tubes to increase the brilliance of the beam. Coast's Tek Torches are cold burning, not hot, so they are safer and much more energy efficient than standard flashlights. In addition, they give off a much brighter light and last significantly longer than other hand held lighting devices, yet they use standard batteries and there are no bulbs to burn out or break. The anodized metal cases are shock proof and water resistant."
