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. The 8040 uses a high-pressure Xenon fired lamp module that produces a powerful, bright, high intensity light. Unlike other flashlights that project a broad yellow beam, the M10 produces a tight white pre-focused beam. It comes with a polarity guard tray that makes operating the flashlight impossible if cells are inverted and prevents dangerous outgassing. The light weight Xenoy body with sure-grip sheath resists chemicals and prevents slippage. The push button switch operates easily, even when wearing thick gloves. The M10 8040 is built tough to withstand the hard knocks that come in the plant, around the beat or on patrol.
