I have seen a dozen threads on "tactical" flashlights.
Most posters don't think these lights are of much use, but most also agree they will disorient you or impact your vision for only "a few seconds".
Yet; in other threads on quick draw or a knife attack from 21 feet they make a lot over tenths of a second.
If you are in a armed fight with me and give me a few tenths of a second, that's an advantage. If you give me "a few seconds", you're dead before it starts.
If I'm armed only with a light and get those same "few seconds", I'm not there when you recover. You may have weathered the "minor annoyance" but I get to go home alive.
My 500 lumen light weighs about 2 ounces, and fits in any pocket. It's a worthy addition to any arsonal.
