Twist Focus System
The G450 features COAST's patented Twist Focus system, allowing seamless transition between a focused spot beam and a broad flood beam.
- To adjust focus: Rotate the head of the flashlight clockwise or counter-clockwise.
- Pure-Beam Focusing Optic: This technology provides a seamless transition between the Ultra View Flood Beam and the Bulls-Eye Spot Beam without dark rings or hot spots.
- Ultra View Flood Beam: Provides edge-to-edge clarity in a wide circular pattern, ideal for illuminating large areas up close.
- Bulls-Eye Spot Beam: Projects a sharp, concentrated beam for long-range illumination, surrounded by a transitional halo to enhance the effective viewing area.

Storage
Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place. If storing for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent potential leakage and damage to the flashlight's internal components.
