anybody uses pelican M9/ M11 ?

[hanuman]

I saw them on sale, m9 is $39 after rebate, $59 for M11. Does this sound like a good deal? M11 is rated at 40000 candlepower, 163 lumens. The spec is comparable to Magcharger but I think M11 is shorter. I did some research on this group but it seems like not so many people use pelican products. How about M9 ? The size is very attractive to me, 7 1/4 long which is just about one inch or less longer than any 4AA. thanks!

I have an M11, and it's a good light. Has a VERY narrow beam so it has a really long throw.

Uses standard "C" size rechargeable cells, and I put NiMH cells in mine.

For $59.00 sounds like a deal.

Does it out throw the M*g Charger?

I have an M7 I bought on impulse. It is a 2AA size rechargable with a VERY nice clickie at the tail.

It is noticeably brighter than the Peli Mighty 2AA I already owned with about the same size fairly tight beam thanks to an orange peel reflector assly.

I feel like Pelican Lights, once you get to AA or bigger batts, are darn nice lights for the bucks.

Hanuman, that's a good deal. Where did you find them?

It'll out-throw just about everything, because of the tight beam. Peripheral lighting suffers, though.

Just curious. How long is the M11?

Click on PICS in my sigline, then click on PelM11 for some pics. There's also a pic in the DUTYLIGHTS folder...
