Newly Enlightened
Hi one and all,
I've been reading this website for several years now and have learned a lot. Thanks for the "enlightenment." Rarely do I have much to say, but I've been stumped for a while.
I own different brands of flashlights (mostly AA and AAA type -- see my sig line) and can appreciate the various opinions pertaining to preferences/dislikes for each manufacturer. Without intending to start a flame war, please help me understand why Pelican lights are not as mainstream as brand xyz?
I own one MityLite 2xAAA (xenon) which works very well on NiMH cells for my EDC purposes (with a slightly modified spring for better contact) and have considered picking up a rechargeable Pelican 7060 LED for primary use in the shop as an aircraft mechanic (several other guys have Stingers which are great work lights). I've seen various Pelican models in metal and polymer that seem to be of good quality, comparable to brand xyz, but I'm still curious why Pelican products seem to be overlooked, except for the storage boxes or the donor lamps for ROP projects.
TIA
Jeff
PS -- Moderators, if this thread even starts to get flaming ugly please shut it down, that is not my intention.
