Is the pelican m6 right for me

powerhungry · Jul 1, 2004

Hi all im thinking of purchasing a pelican m6 led. I want a torch that has a powerful tight beam and fairly long battery life but nothing too large. Can anyone think of any alternatives /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif

Highly recommended. Great light for the right price.

I recently purchased a Pelican M6 led and am so impressed that I am going to buy the Pelican M6 xenon to go with it. Lots of past discussion on the Pelican lights.

excelent trhow for a led light. and a very good battery life. it stay bright for at least 2 hours, and then, many hours wile loosing it's brightness. Very good price. it's also very white beam. Highly recomended!!

Absolutely agreed, both the LED and Xenon models are among the best in their class and a real bargain.

Can't go wrong. I don't have the LED model yet, but I love my Xenon. Top marks. And Pelican has a "you break it, we replace it, forever" guarantee. Good product, good price, good service. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

It's a great light. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
As an added benefit it's significantly underpriced. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

CPFers also get special pricing on them. See the CPF specials page at the link below. I really like this light too.

How would you compare is to the Surfire E2E? I know its cheaper but in terms of throw, battery life, size and feel.

The Pelican M6 has an amazing amount of throw. I took it to a park near my house. The park has several sections that are two or three hundred feet across. Using the M6 I can stand near one side and check the entire field for dogs, people, etc. I'm not sure what the folks on the other side think of that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The spill up close is enough that you don't have to swing it back and forth as you walk.

It sure looks like a sweet light (the PM6 Led)! By the way, whats the runtime figure like? I can't seem to find it on Roy's runtime plots... Thanks.

neo_xeno · Jul 1, 2004

the light is advertised for 40 hours, but like previous people have said it drops out of regulation after about 2 hours.

According to the battery discharge analysis chart I made, runtime to 50% intensity is about two hours, and it ran for just a hair under six hours overall.

Stanley · Jul 2, 2004

Hmm... 2 + 4 seems decent for a bright Luxeon light, I suppose. Thanks for the info and esp Craig for the very informative chart! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Isn't this a direct drive light? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
