01. Coast/ XPH34R

COAST XPH34R, built to be worn or held in your hand, peaks at 2075 lumens and features a dust-resistant and storm-proof aluminum body that rolls in its bracket for directional lighting. It also detaches to become a full-featured flashlight with a magnetic tail cap and built-in power indicator. The COAST-patented PURE BEAM optical system with TWIST FOCUS enables seamless transitions between ULTRA VIEW flood beam and BULLS-EYE spot beam. For versatility on the job, this rechargeable dual power flashlight runs on a COAST ZITHION-X rechargeable battery (charging cable included) but can also operate on disposable lithium or alkaline batteries (purchased separately)—creating a go-anywhere lighting solution.
