A beacon of illumination

In the beginning, there was only darkness. All of a sudden, in this void of light came a shining beacon of illumination. That’s when my uncle showed up with the flashlight. The light cut through the darkness and rescued me in my tent, as my flashlight was nothing more than a cylindrical paperweight at this point. The flashlight he used was on of those pelican flashlights from Optics Planet. This thing ROCKS! It’s really durable, I’m talking Superhero durable. It’s like they weaved this thing out of Superman’s cape or something. The website even shows one being run over by a car. Amazing stuff. They’re also super bright, using extremely bright bulbs. Of course, the most import thing is that they are extraordinarily reliable and their “no excuses” warranty is amazing. If it doesn’t work, they’ll fix it or replace it. That’s it. No excuses, no “we’ll have to investigate this and get back to you”. In a time when customer service has gone the way of the Dodo bird, it’s nice to see this kind of guarantee made by a company.
Also, did I mention that this is the flashlight that a majority of professionals use? I’m talking the kind of professionals who need flashlights to survive or rescue people, not just “Waste Management Engineers” who need it to check behind the toilet for a lost earring at the local burger joint. If you need a super flashlight, check out the Pelican flashlight.
