A self defense flashlight can be a good tool to use. However, it is also a potential danger to your own health if used incorrectly. As with any other type of defensive tool, if you wield this against a potential attacker, you have to know how to use it and more importantly, be ready and prepared to do so. For some people, it is not easy to actually employ a tool or training on another person, regardless of what that person’s intentions might be.
In order to get the most out of a tactical light, it is necessary to know how to use it. A self defense flashlight can be a formidable weapon if it is used correctly. It can blind and disorient a would-be attacker and enable you to get away from, or successfully subdue, your assailant. They are an excellent addition to a firearm for home defense.
Attackers will single out a victim in poorly lit areas such as parking garages, dimly lit streets, alleyways, corridors and dark corners. Co-eds walking at night across college campuses are especially vulnerable. Having a pocket sized high-tech LED self defense flashlight can give you an advantage over a potential attacker. Illuminating a potential threat might be enough to discourage and prevent an attack from happening. Every 2 minutes in the U. S. a sexual assault takes place. 1 in 10 people during their lifetime will experience a criminal attack. Safety experts are increasingly recommending LED tactical self defense flashlights as an essential tool for self defense situations.
The best type of these is made of something other than plastic. If you swing a plastic cased version and make contact with someone’s head, you will likely cause them a small amount of pain and break your product but you will not be likely to take them out with these types of tools. A metal or better yet, titanium version is hard enough to not only incapacitate but may be enough to kill if swung with enough force, so use care with your tools. Never become overly confident however, even if you have the latest or best self defense flashlight.
Tactical flashlights are rapidly gaining in popularity among civilian users. Although our self defense striker head tactical flashlights are standard equipment with special US government agencies, military and police departments they can be used for such mundane tasks as walking a dog at night or camping, boating and fishing too.
A tactical light has been defined as a light that is 50 lumens or more in brightness. A lumen differs from candlepower in that it is a measure of the total light output of the beam, rather than the measure of the light’s concentration at a certain point. A beam of 50 lumens or more will temporarily blind an attacker at a distance of 10 yards.
With this in mind, some tactical lights (Surefire flashlights, in particular) can now be equipped with a tactical impact device. A tactical impact device, or TID, is a sharp saw-tooth edged piece that fits on the bezel of equipped flashlights. The TID is used for trapping and pressure-point-compliance techniques in situations where lethal force is not necessary. The extra weight the device adds to your light provides extra momentum to your thrust stroke.
Before we even get into the tactical and self-defense uses of a flashlight, let’s talk about why you should start carrying one even if you don’t plan on using it to thwart would-be attackers. Next to a pocket knife, a small, tactical flashlight is one of the most useful and versatile tools a man can have in his Every Day Carry kit.
The Heavy Hitter Aluminum Bat Self Defense Flashlight provides “big league protection” by combining the safety of a 200 lumen flashlight with the protection of a high grade aluminum bat…….just in case.
Identify Threat: An attacker will use the cover of darkness to sneak up on their victims and to hide their identity. He’ll also look for the most vulnerable victim. This powerful light beam shined in the direction of a possible attacker is often enough to persuade him to go in search of an easier target.
- Disorient Attacker: Shining a light of at least 120 lumens directly into someone’s eyes will cause several seconds of disorientation and impaired vision. The Heavy Hitter boasts a super bright 200 lumen light beam with Self Defense Strobe that can disorient your attacker and give you time to flee.
- Strike: If these first two are not enough to deter the attacker then a blow from the Heavy Hitter certainly will! Just step toward your attacker and swing for “de-fense”! It’s one strike and they’re out! The 16 inch long bat and the length of your arm will keep you a safe distance away from the attacker and provide you with a long “strike zone”.
