Hi guys,
Was with my wife and kid strolling on the street in my neighbourhood when we encountered a small aggressive dog. Not too sure why was it so aggressive, perhaps he saw a 1 year old kid and got excited. Shooed him away but did not work and was like trying to attack us even more. I did not want to use my legs and so whipped out my Ultrafire to see if the strobe works but that caused it to lunge at us. Instinctively i used my feet to kick as well as threw the light at it really hard. It did not hit the dog but it managed to hit the ceramic tiled floor, ricocheted off it before hitting the concrete wall causing a dent on it. That caused it to run away, sort of......we tried to return to the lift lobby and it followed us. I think its a crazy dog. Went up to take my big HIDs and my big Manfrotto monopod (really pissed now) and now this time it was really scared....seriously there is absolutely no way it can see against 2 big 6" HIDs spots, couldn't even come close.
The dent on the wall of the building....it's deeper than it looks, i used enough force that its like dropping the light from say 3-4 storeys high. Not the same as what....7-8 storeys which they use to test the Tiablo A9 or Olight M20 warrior, but hey it still works.
This is the Olight M20 brutal test.

Hit the smooth ceramic floor tiles, ricocheted off it and hit the concrete wall chipping it.
