Tactical situations are no joke, and they call for heavy-duty, rugged gear that can handle anything. Today, we’re shining a light on one of the most all-around practical pieces of tactical gear in your pack — the tactical flashlight. These ultra-durable, ultra-bright flashlights can provide lifesaving protection and essential illumination when the scenario demands it.
Tactical lights are flashlights designed for use in tactical and self-defense scenarios. They’re some of the most essential tools carried by law enforcement, security and members of the military, serving as both weapons of self-defense and tools of utility (more on applications below). We actually developed the Pelican 7060 Tactical Flashlight with the help of the LAPD, and it has been trusted by the force for years because it was built to their unique specs.
These flashlights aren’t exclusive to law enforcement, and thankfully, most people won’t ever need to deploy them in defense scenarios. Still, these flashlights are known for being some of the most heavy-duty, reliable illumination tools on the market, which means they’re commonly used in day-to-day situations as much as they are in the line of fire, including camping, backpacking and working in demanding job situations.

What are some specific applications for tactical flashlights? Really, they can be deployed in any scenario where you need reliable illumination, a little extra brightness or durability.

On top of that, a Pelican tactical flashlight is an item that you buy once and own for life (seriously, they’re backed by our Lifetime Guarantee), so it’s never a bad tool to have in your arsenal.
