Pelican Products 2740 LED Headlamp 66 Lumens Black

Pelican 2740 LED Headlamp

The Pelican 2740 LED Headlamp is a compact, weather-resistant lighting tool built for rugged outdoor use. It suits campers, hikers and anyone needing reliable hands-free illumination in wet or dusty conditions. Dual white LEDs provide a focused 66 lumen beam, while a dedicated red LED preserves night vision for map reading or camp tasks. The black housing is lightweight and designed to stay secure during active movement.

Sustained output and runtime

On its low-level mode the headlamp delivers up to 21 hours of continuous light from a single battery set, making it practical for overnight trips or extended work shifts. The dual white LEDs maintain a steady output without the sharp drop-off seen in some high-burst designs. Switching to the red LED further reduces power draw for maximum endurance when full brightness is unnecessary. Simple one-button cycling lets the user match output to the task without fumbling in the dark.

Build, mounting and daily use

The weather-resistant casing shrugs off rain, splashes and grit, so the lamp survives being stashed in a damp pack or worn in steady drizzle. A tiltable bracket lets the beam angle be adjusted with one hand, even while wearing gloves. Battery replacement is tool-free and fast, minimising downtime on the trail. The compact profile keeps the centre of gravity close to the forehead, reducing bounce during running or scrambling. Black finish avoids glare and stays inconspicuous in low-light environments.
