I have always wondered about this. A disorientation strobe or even a nice constant strobe must be enough to put most animals off. I have never had the opportunity to try it out. And i don't want to try it on my cat because i kinda like my cat. I grew up in high desert Nevada and i am back here for a while. The Mountain Lions seem to be having a good year. I am not particularly worried. I generally dont think much about them and i trust my Fight-Or-Flight. I cant imagine them getting aggressive, so this is mostly theoretical. Bears are fairly foreign to me but they are a part of some of my missions out of state. I guess i am thinking about this because i cant really run 3 miles in 17 minutes since my injury.
Anyways, i was wondering if any of your outdoorsy types have had any encounters where you were able to blast a critter in the face with 1000 lumens and could judge the animals reaction. Or if anybody could site a study on this.
