Pelican M6 lithium?

Anybody have info on this new torch? Read about first on a thread in New Products.

Nothing except the small pic at Plican's website. Probably will use Pelican's prefocused aluminum lamp assembly, and will have a very narrow, high quality beam.

Pelican makes good stuff, but some don't like the narrow beams from the Pel. lights.

Some 'guy' at SS2002 had a proto-type in his pocket. Most likely didn't listen to a word I said (demanding pre-focused rather then defocusing) (demanding waterproof rather then the water-resistant direction Pelican seems to be going) (demanding a secure disable feature, brightly coloured bodies, with a lanyard)

:shrugs:

Well I'm lookin forward to seeing this torch. I have several Pelican dive lights that I love. they have all the certifications and are waterproof to 500 feet. I sure hope this new one has similar quality.

Agreed!

I got interested in flashlights through the Pelican StealthLights. I have two. They have never failed me, even when I was very drunk on field-trips.

Saw it today

Not waterproof or Div 1; too hot a bulb in an aluminum case
Semi De-focusable, not to the point of a big black hole
7+ watts, 100+ lumens, 100+ minutes run time
MSRP $60 = street price $40 a nice alternative to SF 6P

Will be able to post pics in two weeks once the knurling is finalaized; all other aspects of the lights are "done"

...I wonder if it wall have a focus capability. I don't think any Pelican has that. I lawys thought it was a goofy feature, as it always makes the beam quality go to crap...

Sounds good to me, I like pelican lights. Whats the size" What batts. does it use? I'm in, $40.00 for 105 lumens.

I'm just wondering if you work for Pelican products? You seem to know so much about this M6 flashlight. I live near Pelican's main office in Torrance and wondering if you're from that area? Just curious...Thanks.

Sincerely,
Zeph M.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I thought it was a two cell light? but those stats would not be posible from two 123's. Is it a three cell light?

Me? Pelikan? Nope.... I live in Northridge, and own my own business.

Know so much about the M6?
As I said earlier, I became aware of the product back in February/Shot 2002, and have been following the development of the light since then. Specs are printed on the package, and if you noticed, everything I wrote was in responce to others questions about the light

Jt
it's a 2 cell

you are correct. the numbers don't pencil out, so I suspect that the lumen output may have been the measurement of the bare bulb without the reflector....

can't say about the runtime or wattage. from my experiece with their dive lights, peilkan normally doesn't inflate their claims like most others. still, the 123s don't have the capacity to run 7.2 watts for 100+ minutes... don't know, only got to play with it for 10 minutes.

Mr Ted,

Thanks for the response, and just checkin'

The proto-type I played with at the SHOT Show 2002 was very similar to a SureFire P60 in output. However, a tradeshow is not the best place to compare flashlight beams.

"...a tradeshow is not the best place to compare flashlight beams."
Those bright overhead lamps used in that Vegas hall will reduce even the intense beam of the mighty Maxabeam to near Maglite Solitaire levels.

With light, it's a lot to do with what we see using our eyes... At least that's one of the key advantages of light (being able to see it)

Seeing differences in light output is very subjective. I am sure my brain plays tricks on me. It's sometimes difficult not to see what you want to see.
