Anyone else purchase the new 74/14 lumen dual mode Pelican 1910? I bought one along with the new dual mode 120/12 lumen Pelican 1920 2AAA version.
They are at least as bright as expected, the tints are good, and I don’t see any objectionable artifacts in their beams. The new 1920 is about 1/4 inch longer than the original 1920.
I don’t have any runtime data yet and power them with Energizer Ultimate Lithium primary batteries.
I conducted informal ceiling bounce and outdoor tests with a few different lights. This new Pelican 1910 in the high mode is a lot brighter than my 35 lumen Streamlight Microstream. The Microstream has a more interesting pocket clip, but the new Pelican 1910 won me over with its 2 modes and brighter output.
I believe they call it a “C4” emitter but it’s really a budget Cree XP-C. The Microstream uses the same LED, or did. I wonder if they updated the emitter for the new 1910.
C4 is a designation used by Streamlight. It is common practice for Pelican, Streamlight, Surefire and most other USA flashlight companies not to be specific about the emitter in their lights.
The new Pelican 1910 drew 820 and 166 mA from an Energizer Ultimate Lithium battery in the high and low modes when I measured them.
