ok first off, I'm a Security Gaurd and just recently my job has required me to do static gaurd work, basically patrolling around and looking in bushes etc etc you get the idea...
Most police/secruity use maglites, why? not because they're bright but because we can hit people with them lol
Anyway...
I started thinking and i thought, maglites are bright, esp them 6 D cell ones, but i got thinking, why not just buy one of them 10 million candlepower lights and just shine it at people if they cause trouble, temp blind them and then jump on them, same difference right?
here's my question, these 10 million candlepower torches as seen http://www.thegreenhead.com/cool-stuff/2005/06/10-million-candlepower-spotlight.php how many lumens (new term for me, not even sure what a lumen is) is that compared to say that of a decent LED torch ?
In short, i'm not sure what i should buy for a nice bright beam, and i'm after something brighter than anything a maglite can do.. (without any special ad d ons)
Thanks...
