Last night (early morning) around 2am, I heard a crash in our basement. My wife woke after hearing it too. I should set the scene for you before continuing. We live way out in the woods and have a new baby boy. We also have a ton of black bear living on and around our 10 acres. It's not uncommon to have a 500 lb bear come right up on our 2nd story deck and stare through the sliding glass door into our living room. We also have had Bears try to come into our basement (our house is built into a hillside) through the dog door, which is in a heavy metal door. Once a large bear clawed the door frame right off of this metal basement security door.
So early this morning where awakened by this big crash in the basement. I jumped out of bed, grabbed my G19 from the lockbox under our bed inserted a mag then grabbed my new Lumapower M1. I turned the corner of our bedroom doorway which is right next to the doorway that leads down the basement stairs. With Glock in one hand and the M1 in my other, I quickly double clicked the Smooth reflectored M1 to High and pointed it down the basement stairs. I should also tell you that I'm near-sighted and I wear contacts which of course I didn't take the time to put in. Bam! when the M1 clicked into High that coupled with the fact that my contacts where not in I was completely blinded by the reflection of the M1 off of the white painted sheet rock basement wall at the bottom of the stairs. It took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust, after being blasted by the reflected light. I couldn't believe how damn bright the light was. I turned on the basement light after I got to the switch and yelled down before proceeding, then slowly worked my head, Glock and M1 down far enough to see what the hell was going on. The M1 really lit the dark areas of our finshed basment up. After not seeing anything that was a visable threat, I worked my way down. Keep in mind, I'm seeing all this through my very fuzzy near-sighted eyes, by the way which where more focused than usual do to the M1's brightness shutting down my pupils to b.b-sized openings. A quick sweep revealed that it wasn't a bear, a but a very large and pissed off possum that had made its way through the dog door to eat at the dog's food dish. I was relieved to find is was not a bear. Needless to say the M1 worked flawlessly, and proved its a worthy tactical light, I'm very glad I purchased it. Yes, the blinding light did make the possum curl up into a fetal position and I quickly booted the intuder out the door with a broom. locked up and went back to bed...
Here is the Bear... Sorry about the shakey video, It was shot using a 1.5MCP Vector spotlight, Enjoy! Heli
