The Pelican M6 2390 LED flashlight is an enhancement of the earlier released M6 2330 LED. The difference mainly is the use of a Luxeon III LED rather than a Luxeon I for its source of light.

Consumers who have tried the M6 2390 attest that while it indeed produces a brighter and more intense light at 61 lumens over the 40 lumens of M6 2330, the quality of light output still weakens after one hour and 30 minutes and continuous to drop and after 2 hours and 20 minutes, the light output is by now down to 25%. Basically it has not resolve the issue of regulating its light output to maintain a constant level of output from the time it was switched on.
The flashlight’s switch has 3 different modes: on/off mode, “momentary” operation and the “lockout” safety mode. You can click the switch to turn the light on and off. You can also use your thumb to apply a gentle pressure on the button to temporarily switch on the light and releasing it would turn in off.
