Pelican M6 Lithium?

I was thinking about getting the Pelican M6 lithium but dont know much about it. Just wondering about the specs and if its an overall good light. Need Help! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Here ya go: http://flashlightreviews1.home.att.net/reviews/pelican_m6.htm

It's a good, bright light for the price. It's a little bulky due to the sturdy body and sculpted shape, but older hands may like that better. It's got great throw in real life conditions. YOu can stand at home plate and see the posters on the outfield wall.

I added a clickie to mine. That's a good upgrade. The original lock out tailcap worked OK, but I like clickies.

The replacement lamp assemblies include the reflector. They are available for around $10 each.

The light has a good wow factor for the un-initiated. It's compact, sexy looking and brighter than anything most folks have seen. For flashaholics, the wow factor is in the price. Only $45 for a light that meets or beats the lower end Surefires.

You'll probably find it a good buy.

Thanks for your help guys. I think I will be buying this light in the near future.

Daniel, that was an excellent and concise review! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I think they are still 32 bucks from batterystation.com.

batterystation.com has the best customer service and prices I have been able to find for the products that they carry. They are helpful, and stand behind their products.

yep, 32 bucks at battery station. They are the best place to buy pelican and 123's.. i ordered a pelican m6 xenon, replacement lamp and 20 123a batteries for around 65 bucks shipped. Sent him a money order and it was shipped as soon as he got it.

Just waiting for UPS now /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I've had my M6 for a couple of months now. I absolutely love the throw.

Thanks everyone I just ordered a Pelican M6. I'm sure I'll be happy with it. Thanks agian!

You'll love it, compact for a 2X123 light, throw is great but with useful sidespill. 123's are getting cheaper all the time as well.

Is it my imagination, or are 123a's (at 1.25 each) actually cheaper than AA on a watt for watt basis?

Thanks for the kudos, Britt. I tend to get VERY verbose when describing a light I like.

Daniel

just got mine and flashlightfreek, you'll love it!

I may have to get the led version now. This light rocks. Just wish the led was a 3 watter

It's easy to swap in a LED Mc Module from the sandwich shoppe. I built one with a DB700 and a luxIII. It works VERY well, thank you! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif


Daniel

didnt know they had kits to do this. Havnt seen much info on it, any links or anything?

There's more information in post number 635463 of this thread
about PM6 in the LED forum. Look for the McModule reference.

Dat2zip's sandwich shop sells that adapter. It will accomodate a converter board like the madmax or downboy and a luxeon. It makes for a real great light.
