Construction
The Pelican 7060 LED is available in 2 packages. The item number 7060 is reviewed here and includes everything you need, while the item number 7061B doesn't include a charger. It has a rather large sized head which is quite heavy as well. Up the front is a serrated Xenoy bezel which allows light to shine through when the light is placed head-down. This bezel can be easily unscrewed and replaced with various colored wands available from Pelican. Threads between the bezel and head are fine but well molded and fit together smoothly. A rubber o-ring sits between the bezel and head for water resistance. The 7060 LED uses a pre-focused smooth reflector which is well finished. The reflector and LED on my sample is slightly misaligned but nothing which would affect practical usage of the light. The main section of the head is made of solid aluminum with cooling fins machined throughout. This was a well-chosen design for thermal management for the high power LED since the main body/battery tube is made of Xenoy. Viewed from the rear you can see spring contact for the "+" end of the battery pack. Anodizing on the aluminum surfaces of the head is smooth and consistent.
The 7060 LED is a rather large flashlight which isn't really suitable for pocket carry, luckily the retail package includes a holster which carries the flashlight orientated head-up. The holster is made of Cordura which is a high quality nylon that stands up well against abrasions. The Xenoy battery tube had a "grenade grip" molded pattern which provides a very secure and non-slip grip. The 7060 LED has 2 switches to suite users' preferences. The first is placed towards the front end of the battery tube, the second at the end of the tail cap. Both of these switches allows for momentary activation. They don't have a fixed on/off positions, they simple toggle on/off so you can use either switch interchangeably. Both switches have average travel and resistance, tactile feedback is positive and an audible clicking sound. The switch in the tail cap protrudes out slightly so the light isn't able to tail stand. The tail cap is also made of Xenoy and has an octagon shape exterior. The threads on both ends of the battery tube are mate well with both the head and tail cap very nicely with no grinding or cross-threading encountered. The o-rings on the light didn't come lubricated though, it would be a good idea to apply some lubricant on them. The battery pack included is a 2200mAh li-ion cell and provides similar performance to 18650 cells. You can't replace the Pelican 7069 battery pack with 18650 though, the 7069 has a specific design which allows it to fit and charge in the 7060 LED. You can purchase additional battery packs if you think you'll need additional runtime. The full package also includes a desktop charger which is compatible with worldwide mains voltages. You can also use it in your vehicle with a 12V plug-in adaptor sold separately. The charger has prongs which is spring loaded and holds the 7060 LED very securely while charging. The 7060 LED can be easily unmounted from the charger by grabbing the flashlight body for rapid deployment.
The 7060 LED is advertised to output 130 lumens for 1.5 hours. The beam profile is a narrow focused spot with a soft corona around the intense center. The spill beam has a few ring-shaped artifacts which can be seen up to about 5 meters. In practical usage, it really doesn't pose any issues. Beam tint is a nice and white with no noticeable hue aside from the yellow ring artifact around the hotspot.
As you can see from the runtime graph below, the advertised runtime is almost spot-on. The electronics does relatively well in maintaining regulation. It does have some reduction in brightness during the initial 30 minutes of runtime, then stabilizes at about 75% before quickly dropping out of regulation. The 7060 LED will shut off instantly once the battery can no longer hold regulation. Not to worry though, the 7060 LED will warn the user a few minutes before the battery runs out by blinking momentarily.
Conclusion
The Good - Robust and well-built from quality materials. A complete lighting solution with battery and well-designed charger.
The Bad - Total runtime per battery pack is rather short for its intended duty use, though it can be charged in-vehicle using a 12V adaptor.
The Relative - White beam tine with no noticeable color tint. Size is rather large relative to its performance. Has dual forward push button switch. Some ring-shaped artifacts in the spill beam. Various color wands available.
