Post your Pelican case setup!

OG good to see you stepping forward bravely. And thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, the case I got doesn't have the precut foam option. It's a solid piece. Reasons I've not foraged ahead: fear of making mistake, little time, not enough lights...

Personally I think the solid piece of foam may be easier bro. I'll buy a piece and experiment with it I'm curious myself. I'll order some and give it a shot and let you know

Best thing in my opinion is to ditch the regular foam and get closed cell foam instead. It is much easier to cut and you can cut it way more accurate. If you cut it slightly smaller than the light itself it will hold the light really tight, even if you hold the opened pelicase upside down. The closed cell foam adjusts to the light and keeps it´s form even if you remove the light. All my pelicans have closed cell foam now and I would never go back to regular foam (open cell foam).

I much prefer solid foam instead of the pre-cut pluck foam. I order mine from JoAnns Fabrics. (2-1/2" thick, lime green is the only color).

Eric is right, closed cell foam is sturdier. But I've never seen it thicker than 1/2".

Just WOW. Yours??

I will also be grateful to the advice of Eric and look for closed cell foam

Started with the Bighorn branded case, but not quite big enough, so went with a 1095...

No pictures handy at the moment but after reading through here I thought I would recommend another foam alternative: Kaizen Foam (just search for that term and you will find plenty of links)

This is a closed-cell foam that is made of thin (1/8") layers laminated to a uniform thickness. I have used both 30mm and 57mm to organize my tool box but you can order Pelican Cases with this pre-installed if you so desire. Like the other closed-cell foam, trace and cut to your desired depth but then pull up only the portions you need. The bottom can look like a contour map of the shape you are tracing has multiple depths.

MM81, your cutouts are much neater than mine!

Yeah, but this is pre-cut version...

I am obviously a Fenix Fan!I wanted the case to be "one stop shopping" depending on the activity. My duty light (Fenix TK22) resides on my duty belt. I rotate a few of these as back-ups. Usually the PD35 TAC
