Nope, its the only AA light from a reputable manufacturer I have found with a strike bezel.
It was rated by the FL1 standard to 100m of throw, not sure what that translates into for lux at 1 meter.
100 M ANSI throw translates to 2,500 cd, not very strong. For example, I have a 2" long key chain light with 12,000 cd. (cd = lux at one meter)
ANSI throw is to 0.25 lux, which is enough to see the beam hit something, but typically not what it hit at that range.
Why the emphasis on throw, would a flood of light be more useful, or, is the emphasis on blinding an attacker rather than finding something you dropped, etc?
An aggressive strike bezel on a teeny light is sort of useless BTW, and it mostly ends up just poking holes in pockets or purses, etc. A rounded but crenelated bezel can be used lens down as a way to see if its on/provide night light type lighting though.
If you think about the limits on the sizes of the bezel points, and the risk/benefit ratio involved in trying to make a teeny shallow stab wound with the little flashlight vs other courses of action, its probably better to not bother with an aggressive bezel...and to just use a combat knife or other dedicated weapon, or at least pepper spray, etc, if trying to inflict an injury that matters/provides defensive measures.
For example, the use of a light to blind an attacker typically provides only a momentary delay that can be used for escape/buy time to initiate Plan B, etc. Using that brief delay to have that younger female go on the offensive, and close with her attacker to hand to hand combat distances and initiate attempts to inflict teeny bezel cuts, might not be the best Plan A.
:D
AA powered lights are just not that powerful in output, and, while 2.5k cd might be ok at very close range with night adapted eyes to cause a momentary pause...it would be hard pressed to dazzle an attacker at even street light level adaptation.
