What makes one light tactical and not another??
I work in law enforcement and am yet to see someone use a strobe or crenellated bezel against another person...
I think crenellated bezels are a waste of time when other more effective options are available that are less likely to get you in trouble for using non-issued equipment as a weapon.
I agree. :twothumbsMarketing departments.

As always, your perspective as an LEO is welcome and appreciated. I'm just a regular dude who likes flashlights, but being cognizant of what you've said, I don't carry flashlights with strobe functions, crenelated bezels, or extended battery tubes that might resemble a baton. I figure there's no need for trouble and certainly no need to explain my chosen flashlight to a street cop.
I do have a 3D cell Maglite, but it's just for fun in the neighborhood.
I work with LEOs and sell a few lights here and there and I can tell you 99.3% of the time the strobe function is only used in HQ messing with each other.
