Recently, Torrance - based Pelican Products has been nominated as a finalist for a BritWeek UK Trade & Investment Business Innovation Award for their popular 9440 Remote Area Lighting System (RALS). The BritWeek Award honors and celebrates companies who operate in both California and the United Kingdom for their achievements in the fields of design, technology and service provision.

The Pelican 9440 RALS is the latest addition to Pelican’s Remote Area Lighting System (RALS) family of portable, self-contained, rechargeable LED area lights that can go where bulky, gasoline-powered lights can't—tight spaces, ravines, riverbanks, or just about any other type of tough terrain. The Pelican 9440 RALS harnesses the latest LED lighting technology and a ‘green’, compact, maintenance-free Nickel Metal Hydride battery system that eliminates the need for fuel-powered generators and prevents trip hazards from power cords.

Manufactured in Peterborough, United Kingdom and another of its manufacturing facilities in Torrance, California, the company’s UK staff manages the R & D, bringing the RALS line from concept to manufacturing to market.
