Pelican^TM flashlights have more approvals than those of any other manufacturer. Know that when you enter a Class I or Class II location where flammable gases and combustible dusts are present, or a Class III environment with ignitable fibers, your Pelican flashlight will not be a source of ignition. So how do we do it? Pelican Products uses only the best quality materials and components in manufacturing flashlights. They stand up to rigorous testing by independent laboratories and industrial safety agencies that issue their approvals. High impact resins like ABS, Xenoy® and polycarbonate for flashlight bodies are as tough as they come. They are corrosion proof, chemical resistant, and virtually indestructible yet light weight. Our Umbrella Valve allows gas build-up to quickly escape while keeping moisture out. This safety feature is the new and improved version of the patented Pressure Release Valve (PRV) introduced in 1990 to the flashlight industry. All FM approvals have since changed and are now based on Pelican’s research and development contributions. Another industry first is the addition of Hydrogen-Absorbing Pellets to Pelican lamp modules. It is a back-up system that absorbs excess hydrogen retained inside the flashlight. No gas. No spark.

Pelican’s Battery Polarity Guard Tray makes operating the flashlight impossible if one or more cells are inverted. This safety feature guards against dangerous “outgassing” of hydrogen from an accidentally reversed cell (which is a major cause of flashlight accidents, in and out of hazardous environments). It also doubles as an armor for protecting the fragile alkaline cells from rough handling.

All Pelican flashlights use high-intensity Xenon, Halogen, or LED lamps that generate high quality beams. The exclusive dual filament lamps on our large size lights provide emergency backup and increased lamp life. But what is unique with a selection of our lights is the pre-focused beam. Pelican’s sealed and open face one-piece patented safety approved lamp modules combine tough abuse proof protection with unsurpassed lumen values (true light emitted) and focused white light reflection. The computerized spot reflector opens up the light pattern slightly to give a powerful in-focus beam without annoying black spots or shadows. Whether it’s the submersible Tracker™ with a laser spot beam that penetrates fog, haze, and murky water, or the modified spot beam on the Big ED™ that cuts through the thickest smoke, there is no more fumbling to focus.
