SABRELITE 2010 RECOIL LED


Manufacturer:

Pelican Products Inc., Torrance

Description:

A heavy-duty flashlight

Price:

$59.95

Pelican Products’ new flashlight allows light to be fired backward into a set of mirrors, reflecting forward to produce bright, far-reaching illumination. On one recent Los Angeles night, the beam stretched across a four-lane street and landed clearly on an opposite building.

The flashlight runs 50 hours on three C batteries and it’s submersible to 500 feet, so if ever you have to dive into deep water looking for your lost keys, this would be just what you might need.
