Greetings!
I've always been a nut for lights but only recently found out that places like this exist! Well, I'd better get straight to the point.
In order of priority, I'm looking for a light that:
1) Has an instantly selectable high-beam to blind attackers (at least 200 lumens? Not sure if this is enough/too much.)
2a) Can fit into a typical office-pant-sized-pocket. SureFire M6 is too big.
2b) Has a low beam that will last 3 hours or more.
3) Is tough enough to clobber someone. (metal construction?)
4) I hope I don't come across as arrogant but I don't have much of a budget as long as I have my safety! Perhaps below $500 would be reasonable?
I tried to do my own research and tried the search function but it hasn't worked out. I seem to like SureFire's selection but thier website's features and descriptions confuse me!
Background: I really need a reliable and effective light for my safety. I'm shorter than 170cm and unfortunately, (again I don't mean to sound too much) but gays (I'm a straight male) are always giving me the 'look' and that always worries me. I currently use a pepper spray but I feel a light is better for my purposes.
Any help would really be appreciated! Thanks a lot for you inputs!
