Coast A8R Red Tail Cap

Many of Coast's lights use a Quick-Cycle tail switch. A tail switch is a well-known feature in the tactical and professional markets, but not all users may be familiar with the design. One of the most common ways to hold a tail-switch light is in one's fist, with one's thumb to the rear, touching the switch. This allows the light to held up-and-away from one's body, which can provide useful changes in both beam direction and elevation.Coast's tail cap design also allows many of our lights to stand up straight for vertical lighting applications.
