Pelican flashlights are used by professionals everyday in order to get the job done.  For those who are looking for a bright, rechargeable, and versatile flashlight, you might not need to look much further that the Pelican 7060 LED.  The Pelican 7060 LED was actually developed in joint effort between Pelican Products and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and is the standard flashlight issued to its officers.

 

 

These 7060 Pelican flashlights produce an amazing 130 lumens of blinding light and will run for up to 90 minutes on its rechargeable Li-Ion battery.  One nice and unique features of the 7060, is it’s dual switches.  Is has both a forward-click switch near the bezel for thumb activation and also a tail-cap click switch for tactical use.  I personally prefer to us the rear, tail-cap switch as opposed to the body switch, but I’ve found that having both is convenient.

The battery appears to an 18650 size lithium-ion cell, but housed in a proprietary Pelican casing with proprietary contacts.  If I were to have one gripe with this light, it would be that I can’t really purchased 18650 cells on my own and use them in the light.  I would need Li-Ion cells from Pelican instead.

The flashlight is constructed primarily of a tough polymer with aluminum cooling fins for the LED.  I personally like the feel of the polymer body as it doesn’t feel nearly as cold as all aluminum bodies in the cold winter months.

This Pelican 7060 is shorter than a 2-D cell light, considerably skinnier and lighter, but produces over 6 times the light output.  It truly is impressive.

Be sure to checkout the these 7060 LED Pelican flashlights.
