There aren't any others from the big names that I know of. I had expected Mag or Princeton Tec or Underwater Kinetics to have something. But they don't.

Okay there is the Princeton Tec Aqua Strobe. But that is a flashing light instead of a flash light :)

It has been long discontinued but the Energizer Romeo was a decent option. Only the tan version was made in the US.

Yes, I had thought perhaps Tek-Tite, Streamlight, Photon (LRI) , or Pelican .... nope, not that I could find.

As mentioned above Malkoff or something from peak. Both are topnotch lights that will last you a lifetime.

I can't easily find anything definitive about the location of manufacture for Coast products, but that information would be appreciated, if someone has a good link for that.

Good call, most of their products are made in Asia. Article is from 2014 and there is a quote saying that "the company is planning to move some production to the United States, possible [sic] to Oregon, within the next year or two." So it is possible some of their products are now manufactured domestically.

In searching for that, I found this list of US made lights and flashlights.

The titanium Betas are USA made but still AAA not AA....

Thanks for clarifying

.... Streamlight has the Protac but it's 2 AA.

I don't see location of manufacture listed on the Streamlight site, but multiple retailers list it as "Made in China"

EDIT ... their "Fact Sheet" link (PDF linked from site cited below) confirms this.
