New Pelican LED

[Grant Lamontagne]

Well, new for me anyway- I don't know how long these have been around!



I picked it up today while I was at the local outfitters.  I have to say, it's pretty neat and it's bright!  I can't wait for the snow to melt and get my kayak out now! 

It's pretty compact, has a cleat for a lanyard, a pretty sturdy clip on the backside and is pretty sturdy feeling.  The only thing is, the head has to be rotated to switch it on.  I know, I am old school and nit picky and whatever else the kids say about guys like me these days, but I like an actual switch.  Other than that, it's a pretty neat little gadget.

I am actually not surprised. I have a Pelican versa-bright and it rocks! it clips to just about anything, or velcro it, or it can be held in place by a magnet.. It also has Red and Green lenses for night vision etc..

I can't understand it from that picture. Where does the light shine out from?

The two bulbs I think

Those two little holes on the upper part? Facing to the right?

If those are the LED's, then why is the rest of the thing so honkin' big?

[Grant Lamontagne]

It's actually not honkin big- the main body has two lithium watch batteries, each about the size of a quarter.  The whole thing is only a little bigger than a Micra.
