In a rare collaboration between public and private sectors, the City of Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has partnered with Pelican Products to develop the Pelican 7060 LED as the standard issue tactical/patrol flashlight for all its officers.
The Pelican 7060 LED light employs new dual switch technology that allows the light to be activated by either a body-mounted patrol switch or a tail-mounted tactical switch. The dual switches, which include a momentary mode, allows the user to grip the light in several positions and still control activation. The light incorporates rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum brightness and light weight.

Battery: 3.7 volt, 2200mah Rechareable Lithium-Ion(included)
Burn Time: Up to 1.5 Hrs.
Included Charger: 4-5 Hour Wall Charger ONLY (Car charger NOT included).
Length: 8.65 inches
Weight w/ Battery: 10.4 oz.
Weight w/o Battery: 8.2 oz.
We had opportunity to test one of these new lights at our warehouse. We found it to be lightweight, bright, and durable. We drop tested it and used it in various ways without incident or complaint. The light is very bright for an LED light and will work as good as any Streamlignt product in our opinion. The feature we really liked was the dual on/off switches (one on the side near the front and one on the tailcap). The two switches allowed the light to be easily used for the Harries shooting technique and others. In general we have to give this new light a big thumbs up.
