Pelican Headlamps


RUGGEDNESS and fit-for-
function performance are
bywords for the waterproof and
shockproof padded hard cases
Pelican is famous for. Now they
have personal lighting gear
including handheld torches and
headlamps that are right down
the hunter's alley. Here we
review two of their current
headlamps. With revolutionary
downcast lighting, USB
charging and battery level
indicators, they are packed with
features. Here we review two of
their current headlamps.

Pelican 2750 LED
Headlamp
The Pelican 2750 is a high-tech

headlamp featuring two
brightness levels (40 and 100
lumens) plus a red (night vision)
LED. The 2750 is well-suited for
use in pre-dawn approaches to
hunting stands and glassing
vantage points and the after-
dark carry-outs trophy hunters
are often forced to do. With a
good beam spread and 12 hours
battery life.
The Low Power setting is
excellent for night map-
reading or poking along dark
tracks, trying not to spook
game, especially if you switch
to the red filtered lamp.
And Lithium and Alkaline
non-rechargeable AAA, and
rechargeable Lithium, NiMH,

and NiCd AAA batteries can
be used, giving true versatility
while being water resistant to
IPX4 standard.
A Low Battery indicator
tells you light is still bright
enough for trail navigation for
another 2 or 3 hours.

Pelican 2780R Headlamp
The most powerful headlamp
in the Pelican™ line can punch
out a whopping 558 lumens of
brilliant light, using a USB
lithium-ion rechargeable
battery, while being able to vary
beam angle with a pivoting
lamp housing. The easy grip
dial allows selection of the
Main LED which illuminates
out to a distance of 127 metres,
while the Downcast LED
illuminates everything below
in a wide diffused pattern
providing safe foot placement,
illuminated reading spaces,
allowing for face to face
conversations which won't
blind the other party. Both
beams can be combined, or a
helpful flashing mode rounds
out the light output modes.
Lamp life is up to 7.5 hours
depending upon mode selected.

High, Medium or Low setting
can be activated by the easy
grip dial at the right of the lamp
housing. The rear-mounted
battery pack provides full time
battery level indication,
charging levels and a rear
mounted red LED safety light.
There are more headlamps and
handheld torches in the range,

Pelican products are distributed
