Great stuff, recently showed my mother and some other women how to use them and actually got them to carrying them as well after they had one demonstrated in their CCW class. I showed them the cycle striking methods.
In home defense, chemlights or small LED's are also good to have attached to a backup set of keys to your home. If you're on with 911, you can let them know you're tossing the keys out on a light to give police easier access to come on in and clear out your house for you...assuming the doors aren't busted wide open from someone breaking in through the door. They can also be used to mark "friendlies" as police go through your home. Telling them that the people with a green chemlight around their neck are the residents, do not shoot them, is helpful when they're coming through, trying to identify friend from foe.
Just purchased a 1000 lumen tactical flash light , awesome! I tried it (very briefly) on myself in daylight. I was effectively blind for over 30 seconds!
The only way to go is a rail run with light attached to it. It takes away all these motor skills. Where you point your weapon is where the "light" goes. Just like the "old" FBI technique with the lattern. It just has too much going on.
No. If you have ever had a flashlight shined in your face you understand aiming a gun in such conditions is near impossible... It takes training to use it effectively however.

Eyesight is one of our most important functions... flashlights can be used to help us see more and our attackers see less.
Thanks for this vid, and as always, well done.
Thank you!
Just like the Kubaton. A weapon use to hit or attack a trigger point. Self def flash light.
Really all depends on your budget, but if you're looking for a decent company--try Fenix or Streamlight.
It is a Tomahawk, made by First Light.
Surefire LX2...only thing I dont like is the lack of the ability to use 18650's...I hope they fix that issue!
I like that L shaped light.. Who makes it?
