Flashlights such as this are not everyday items. A tactical flashlight is a military-grade tactical gear that can be used for much more than illumination. For identifying threats and potential hazards, tactical flashlights can be helpful. Darkness is often used as an advantage by criminals and attackers. In low-light conditions, a bright flashlight can introduce visibility into the dark environment, eliminating the benefit that an attacker or any criminal stalker would have. Shining a light on a potential attacker is all it takes to send him running.

As part of tactical gear, tactical flashlights are designed with ten times more power than conventional flashlights. In this way, it’s a fantastic tactical gear for disorienting attackers. How would it feel to have a bright light shine into your eyes in the dark? A bit of disorientation or even blindness would likely ensue. Taking advantage of the natural reaction triggered by bright light can protect you from potential attackers.

You can shine your flashlight directly into the eyes of potential attackers and “dominate their face” by shining it in their eyes. The prospective attacker will likely put his hands up to his face and become disoriented for three to four seconds. Thus, you will have enough time for either fleeing or attacking.

Besides being a smart tool for self-defense, tactical flashlights can also be used as improvised weapons. Serrated or toothed bezels can be found on some tactical flashlights. Bezels with these blades are useful as a tool in tactical gear if needed to break a vehicle window in an emergency. Unfortunately, this isn’t very effective due to the time it can take to breakthrough. An improvised striking device can be used to break windows with the bezel of a tactical flashlight, but it won’t break windows. Strike the toothed bezel into his face as hard as you can after shining the light in his eyes and disorienting him. Feeling like he is being stamped with an enormous rubber stamp should be the effect. 

Lighting an area on demand is an essential ability that a flashlight provides.
