I’ve got a little stainless Coast A5, which I love, but its beam pattern is very, very much inspection torch. Dead circular, even spread.

Is there anything similar in body, but with a more every-day torch beam? I don’t really want some black knobbly military-cosplayer’s thing, I’m not too bothered about a built in charging port, I want minimal. I love the simple, smooth stainless body of the A5, it lives in my smart jacket pocket along with an elegant little pocket knife, I just wish it had a thrower-style beam.

Thanks for the suggestion, I think I’m not going to get anywhere near a genuine thrower that’s pocket-sized, by the look of the business-end of that lad.

The Coast A5 is a really slim pencil touch, it’ll sit next to my pocket knife in a jeans pocket or jacket breast pocket, I reckon I’ll be stuck with my little round circle of light of I want to keep the form factor!
