Peli 5-Series watertight torches launched

Peli Products has launched the new Peli 5-Series watertight torches that include models 5000, 5010, 5020 and the rechargeable 5050R, which go from close to long distance illumination adaptation, with flood to spot technology.

The 5-Series torches offer Industry’s first tail switch that has an embedded battery status indicator, to stop guessing in the dark and avoid unpleasant surprises during your shift. Moreover, the  rechargeable 5050R light is the only one in the market with built in USB (Output) and Micro USB (Input) ports that provide a full charge for your torch or emergency back-up power for smartphones and other electronics.

The 5-Series models push Peli’s Industrial lighting to the forefront thanks to their proprietary optimised lens that makes a clean collimated beam spread for flood and spot modes:  flood position projects a wide beam to illuminate your close work area, while the spot position is for a long-distance focused beam. With Low, medium, high, flashing or boost mode options, these torches let you switch to the best light intensity, from low lumens that are easy on the eyes when up close, to super-bright intensity for reaching way out in the dark through the work area.

Unlike other industrial lights in the market, the 5-Series torches are watertight (IPX8) thanks to incorporating a Gore membrane in the flood to spot sliding mechanism, which allows the air to move in/out while keeping the water out. With their type II hard anodized finish, the 5-Series are as tough as they look for withstanding the hardships that come with the job.

The 5000 is ideal for quick access, with up to 202 lumens. The 5010 is the versatile medium sized model that gives up to 392 lumens. Both torches offer high/low/flashing modes. When you need extra beam distance, go with the 5020. With up to 250 metres of beam distance and up to 586 lumens of LED brightness, it offers high/medium/low/flashing modes. These torches work with Alkaline Batteries (included).

With the 5050R light there is power for extra-long shifts and for smartphones. You can charge the 5050R by connecting directly to its Micro USB port and get up to 40 hrs of runtime (on low power setting). This torch doubles as a portable charger or power bank for your smartphone and any other USB powered device. With up to 883 lumens of LED brightness, the 5050R offers boost/high/low/flashing modes and includes a Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery.
