About COAST: A Century of Problem-Solving Lighting

COAST is a Portland, Oregon-based manufacturer with a legacy stretching back to 1919. Founded by Henry W. Brands, the company began with a deceptively simple premise: the right tool, thoughtfully engineered, makes hard work safer and easier. Over a century ago, Henry Brands set out with a powerful idea, starting with a revolutionary fillet knife sold from the back of his car and building a legacy that four generations later still drives everything COAST makes.

At COAST, products are built to work hard and to last — and every COAST light and tool is backed by a lifetime warranty. That commitment to durability and dependability is what has made COAST a trusted name among tradespeople, outdoor adventurers, mechanics, and everyday users alike.

Innovative LED Lighting at the Core

COAST's flagship products are its flashlights, and the lineup reflects decades of iterative engineering. COAST lights are known for their brightness, using high-quality LEDs that produce a powerful beam capable of cutting through the darkness. Signature features like the Pure Beam twist-focus optic allow users to shift between flood and spot modes with a simple rotation of the head, delivering wide-area illumination or a tight, long-range beam as the task demands.

COAST lights are made from high-quality materials built to last, and are resistant to shock and vibration — making them ideal for demanding environments like the automotive repair shop. Coast's G-series flashlights, for example, are impact-resistant, weather-resistant, and fitted with virtually unbreakable LEDs.

Keeping Your Gear Running: Parts, Accessories & Batteries

A great flashlight or headlamp is only as reliable as the parts and power behind it. COAST addresses this with a comprehensive ecosystem of hardware parts and accessories designed to keep your gear performing at its best. COAST parts and accessories — tail caps, battery cartridges, bite caps, and more — deliver reliable replacements to keep your gear performing. Charging cables, hardhat clips, sheaths, and pocket clips round out an accessory lineup built to complement the full COAST product range.

When it comes to power, COAST gives users real flexibility. The brand's accessory battery packs are purpose-built for specific COAST lights, ensuring optimized runtime and compatibility. For users who need versatile everyday power, COAST also offers multi-purpose device batteries through their ZITHION-X line. One COAST ZITHION-X USB-C rechargeable AA battery replaces up to 1,000 single-use batteries — cutting waste, saving money, and delivering reliable power with every charge.

COAST believes customers deserve choices in how to power their products, whether by rechargeable or alkaline batteries. This philosophy of flexibility extends across their entire accessories ecosystem, including protective shade products like sheaths designed to safeguard lights during transport and storage.
