How to use a flashlight tactically........................

LED Flashlights – General Info

I know what scaru is saying and ive always agreed myself. Ill give a better example to better illustrate the point.
You can have a 2000 lumen halogen light bulb which emits light 360 degrees or a sipik sk68 which emits light at like 5 degrees with about 2-300 lumens.

Now if both were shined at your eyes which would hurt more? Of course the sipik68. Your eyes are a small part and therefore you want to measure intensity on a given spot, not total output where 99.95% of it isnt going in your eye. Get what i mean?

EDIT: I’ll use a better example.
Imaging a 2000 lumen lightbulb that has the ability to emit 360 degrees, and can be focused to 2 degrees but retain all the 2000 lumens.

When the light bulb is at 360 degree mode you can look at it without trouble, but if it’s at 2 degrees it’ll damn well burn your eyes out. Why? Because the light is more concentrated in the 2 degree mode, or as scaru is saying it has a higher candela (a measurement of intensity of light on any given spot).

Yeah, just figure that one standard 32W light fluorescent stick gives around 2000 lumens. It sure does not disorientate anyone. In fact, it helps the attacker to attack more easily and efficiently

But shine a similarly 2000 lumens Kings to someone's eye... dude...

Intensity is what it's about.

I think the idea is to take out the attackers night vison.

lol nice find kriesl.

incidentally I miss lumatic

Is that a recoil thrower?

Looks like a Spark headlamp.
