Of course I would not rely on a flashlight for defense, but just how many lumens does it take to really, painfully knock out somebody's night vision? I'm thinking of a 500lumen weapon light..got a 120lumen surefire that is not bright enough.
Anybody have a review of the Digilight NT9? Seems like an ideal light for EDC with a defensive slant. 175 Lumens for 35 minutes and a rechargable battery...cant see anything wrong with it?! 175 lumens is BRIGHT for such a small package.

Re: Best tactical light?
Friends,
Thanks for the warm welcome and opinions. I carry other much more effective self defense tools so the flash light is low on the totem pole for defense, but would still play a role in some situations.
best!
Hello,
I am considering the surefire L4 LumaMax for a tactical light. Really, it will be carried with me primarily as a self defense device. I am not a law enforcer, just a citizen.
I want to carry it for two reasons:
1. Blind an attacker
2. Strike an attacker if need be (god forbid)
I like...
