Product Description
From a partnership between the Los Angeles Police Department and Pelican Products, the Pelican 7060 LED was born. As the standard issue tactical flashlight for officers on patrol, it’s built with a 7060 LED light with dual-switch technology for a choice between use as a body-mounted patrol switch or a tail-mounted tactical switch Read More
Is this CREE? Just can't comprehend this price tag for a vanilla LED... but the pictures seem to be specifically avoiding showing this, so I'll just find another CREE from Chinese eBay.
This was state of the art when it was first released in 2008 & cost $150 then. This is just ridiculous now in 2015. Yes they have upped the lumens but it's still a 1/3 of what it should be & a 2200 mah battery in 2015? Seriously.
For this kind of money it should have a 3400mah if not a 3600 mah or lower the price to around $75 MSRP & $50 via MassDrop buying power.
We have these as standard issue in our agency and they pretty much suck. When they are new they are ok but expensive for the performance. Like any Lithium powered device they perform great until dead, then they just shut off with next to no warning. They are supposed to blink occasionally before the battery dies, but our experience has been that when they blink once, fifteen seconds later they are done.
I have experienced much better performance in similarly priced lights from LED Lenser, Streamlight, Surefire and Fenix.
So what is it that lets Pelican demand this sort of price? Is it because they're "certified tactical", or is it because they're mainly shooting for government contracts?
And is this 3.7v Li-ion battery an 18650 or some other form factor?
VulpesThe Nitecore EC4 die cast light I bought from MD for 45 bucks has a maximum throw of 322 M compared to this 199 M (from description) and it is a lot less bulky in size.
