Help guessing two Peli MityLite flashlights age

[Eloi]

Hi Everybody,

I have purchased two Peli MityLite models.

1) A 1900 AAA Xenon.

2) A 1960 AAA LED.

The 1900 is new, but unfortunately the original packaging is missing. I imagine that is from the mid 2000s, but I don't have any info regarding date of manufacture.

The 1960 seems to be manufactured in April 2010. Fortunately I've got it new in box and the date is printed on the barcode.

Here I post some pics.

BR and good weekend for everybody!
Eloy.

I cant give you much information other than your 1900 is a second generation because it has the black plastic shroud on it. The first generations were clear plastic only. The tapered part of the body was also slightly smaller to accommodate the lack of the shroud. Best guess on the date would be 1990 to 2010. If the bulb inside is made of black plastic it would be in the earlier range of the spectrum. If it is blue its likely built after 2005. Assuming its the original bulb.

Here is what the 1st generation looked like

I at first thought 1900 was the year the light was made.

Thought Pelican wasn't around back then.

Thanks everybody!

The bulb is blue, so, i can assume that it was build after 2005.
