Designed for firefighters and equipped with a backup krypton emergency lamp housed behind the reflector, this right-angle flashlight projects an intensely bright xenon-lamp beam straight ahead while the flashlight, in hands-free mode, hangs from pocket or belt on a heavy-duty stainless-steel clip. The beam cuts through thick smoke and dust, making it also ideal for emergency and utility workers. A rubber side grips prevent slipping. A push-button switch on the side is easy to operate, even when thick gloves are worn. Made of rugged ABS resin that resists chemicals, corrosion, and extreme temperatures, the flashlight is powered by four C alkaline batteries (not included) housed in a battery pack that can be quickly replaced with an ejection system. Battery burn time is four hours. The flashlight measures seven inches long and weighs 20.32 ounces with batteries.

About Pelican Products
Dave Parker, president of Pelican Products, has been an avid scuba diver since age 11. During his early diving years, he repeatedly discovered that something he needed to make a dive complete was simply not available. It dawned on him that if he needed that piece of gear other divers did, too. In 1976, he began the company with his wife and co-founder Arline, an airline stewardess, while he continued his advertising and industrial-design business. From that inception as a small garage operation, Pelican has blossomed into an international marketing and manufacturing firm. Designed for the firefighter, the Big Ed is the choice of flashlight for the turnout gear. The unbreakable ABS body resists chemicals, water, and corrosion. Rubber side grips prevent slipping and the push button switch on the side is easy to operate, even with thick gloves. For hands-free use, a heavy duty stainless steel clip is built in. The 3700 uses a hi-intensity Xenon lamp that produces a beam strong enough to cut through thick smoke and dust. A back-up emergency lamp is housed behind the reflector. Battery replacement is easy with its quick change battery ejection system.
