Pelican LED Tactical Flashlight Review

Impressed by all the favorable reviews, I ordered the light. In general, it works very well.

HOWEVER, what they don't tell you, is the battery cannot be easily replaced in the field, so if you get into a situation where the rechargeable battery runs down, you don't just pop in a replacement cell. Although the manual basically says unscrew the tailcap, remove the old battery, and reinstall the new one, it's a real ordeal to remove the cell. It will not happen in the dark, in a hurry, and without making a lot of noise.

When I called Pelican to ask about the apparent disconnect between the instructions in the manual and how the light is actually built, I received a "Why would you need to change the battery in the field?" response. Well, the run time is about an hour, the recharge time is about four hours, and some people might have an urgent need to quickly change out a dead rechargeable cell.

I thinks the light is a quality product, but the engineering is marginal, and customer service is far less than I would have expected.
