New pictures and new uses for the Pelican 9500SLS Shelter Lighting System
beingzoe 5 months ago |

We might have sold the first Pelican 9500 Shelter Lighting System in the entire country. Either way definitely have the newest pictures outside of Pelican’s official marketing. Take a look at this amazing lighting system with more uses than just the military.

As you can see from the comparison pictures above, the Pelican 9500 gives off a lot of light with very low power consumption. The flexible chainable interconnections of the lamp heads, with the inline switch, and multiple power options offers useful, workable, pleasing light in the most remote locations.

What do you mean “useful, workable, pleasing light”?

We were most surprises by the warmness of the light. Don’t misunderstand, it IS a BRIGHT WHITE light, but it is a few degrees warmer than we expected. I’m not going to try and guess Kelvin temperatures here, but suffice it to say this isn’t just a utility light, you wouldn’t mind sitting, reading, having dinner, and just hanging out in the light the 9500SLS gives off.

By comparison the other Pelican Remote Area Lighting System lights in the Advanced Area Lighting Group line so far have a much bluer light which is perfect when you just need bright crisp light to work by, especially for fine detail work. But honestly having used the 9430 single head light while camping recently, you don’t exactly want to read a light in it’s brightness. Need to setup a tent or something utile around the campsite it’s perfect. But had I had the 9500 with me I could have hung that on my shelter and been relaxed running it all evening during dinner (until you had to turn it off just to enjoy the fire and stars!).

More than just a military light

Pelican is pushing the 9500 lighting system for the military, and in that it will excel. But after playing with the 9500 for just a few minutes it was obvious this had myriad possbilities.

Own an RV? The 9500 is ideal for hanging on the awning on your motorhome. Run it right off your 12volt system no problem.

Hunters. That remote cabin you love to get away to with no power or a generator? Bring a battery pack, one of the other Pelican RALS lights (for power and more light), or a generator and you’ve got light in your own private hunting lodge just like home.

Emergency shelters. Have low wattage light during an emergency or disaster.

The real advantage to this system is how easy it is to hang. With the included straps you just hook the lampheads where you need them, string them together with the color coded military grade interconnects and tie in to either a 12vdc source (battery system or Pelican AALG lights) or AC power and you are good to go.

And it has a red mode!

Keep that night vision. What’s good for the military is certainly good for hunters at night, whether it’s with a camera or a gun. I felt like I had to mention it’s red light mode which is switchable from the inline power switch. But since I’m stressing the non-military applications here I won’t go into details about it.
