The Pelican HeadsUp Lite™ 2600 is a versatile headlamp designed for hands-free illumination, suitable for a variety of activities where focused light is needed. This headlamp comes equipped with both an adjustable cloth strap and a rubber strap, offering flexibility in how it can be worn and secured, whether directly on the head or over a helmet. The inclusion of batteries means it's ready for use right out of the box.
At its core, the HeadsUp Lite™ 2600 provides a portable light source that can be directed wherever the user looks, thanks to its head-mounted design. The primary function is to cast light onto a desired area, freeing the user's hands for other tasks. It features a lamp system that can operate at two different intensity levels, allowing the user to choose between a brighter, more powerful beam (high intensity) or a dimmer, more energy-efficient light (low intensity) depending on the specific requirements of their environment or task. This dual-intensity capability enhances its adaptability, making it useful for close-up work where less light is needed, or for broader illumination in darker settings. The headlamp's design also incorporates a focusing mechanism, enabling the user to adjust the beam from a wide floodlight to a more concentrated spot, further tailoring the light output to their needs. This adjustability is crucial for tasks ranging from navigating trails in the dark to performing detailed inspections.
Operating the HeadsUp Lite™ 2600 is designed to be straightforward and intuitive. To power the device on or off, the user simply turns the right side cap. Turning the cap towards the user activates the light, while turning it away deactivates it. This simple twist mechanism ensures quick and easy control over the illumination.
One of the key usage features is the headlamp's positioning flexibility. The light assembly is mounted on a pivot that allows it to be rotated up and down through a wide arc of 170 degrees. This extensive range of motion ensures that the user can precisely aim the light beam, whether they need to illuminate something directly in front of them, above, or below, without having to adjust their head position excessively. This feature is particularly beneficial when working in confined spaces or when needing to switch focus between different heights.
The headlamp also offers a focus adjustment capability. To achieve the desired focus, the user shines the light onto a light-colored background, ideally about 10 feet away. The lens can then be turned all the way onto its threads until it bottoms out, and then slowly backed off until the optimal focus is achieved. This allows for fine-tuning the beam, from a broad area light to a tight, concentrated spot, depending on the task at hand. This feature is invaluable for tasks requiring either wide-area visibility or pinpoint illumination.
The choice of straps further enhances the headlamp's usability. The adjustable cloth strap provides comfort for extended wear directly on the head, while the rubber strap offers a more secure fit, especially when worn over helmets or in environments where a firmer grip is necessary. This adaptability ensures the headlamp remains stable and comfortable regardless of the activity.
Maintaining the HeadsUp Lite™ 2600 involves a few simple procedures to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Battery replacement is a routine maintenance task. To access the battery compartment, the user removes the left cap by turning it counter-clockwise. Once open, used batteries can be removed and replaced with fresh ones, paying close attention to the polarity sticker located inside the body to ensure correct orientation. After replacing the batteries, the cap is re-secured by aligning its side slot over the locking projections in the body and screwing it down clockwise until it is snug. It is important to always replace all batteries with new alkaline batteries and to avoid mixing brands or old and new batteries to prevent potential issues.
Lamp replacement is another maintenance aspect. The headlamp includes a spare lamp, which can be either a .75 amp (high intensity) or a .50 amp (low intensity) lamp, offering flexibility for different lighting needs or as a backup. To replace the lamp, the lens and reflector housing are removed by turning them counter-clockwise. The old lamp is then pulled straight up out of its socket. A fresh lamp is installed by pushing it into the socket until it is fully seated. Finally, the lens housing is replaced squarely on its threads and turned clockwise while applying slight pressure. A spare .50 amp lamp is conveniently located next to the main lamp socket, serving as a dimmer option or a readily available backup.
To ensure the headlamp remains in good working order, especially during periods of non-use, it is recommended to remove the batteries. This simple step helps prevent potential battery leakage and corrosion, which can damage the internal components of the device over time. This preventative measure is crucial for preserving the headlamp's functionality and extending its lifespan.
The design of the HeadsUp Lite™ 2600 emphasizes user-friendliness in both its operation and maintenance, ensuring that users can easily manage its power source and light components, thereby maximizing its utility and durability.
