Using your flashlight to potentially and
temporarily blind an attacker is a two-step process – you need the light to
blind or disorientate and then you have a few seconds to spare to plan your
next move.
At this point of the attack, you have a few
options to choose from depending on what situation you are in…
>> Run and get out of the area
>> If you cannot escape, strike the attacker with your flashlight
>> Use your weapon if the flashlight is attached to it
>> If you cannot escape, strike the attacker with your flashlight
>> Use your weapon if the flashlight is attached to it
Keep in mind that when you blind someone
with your flashlight it is only temporary, so you will need to think quickly
and take some form of action. If you can run away this would be your best move,
especially in an area where you can get help.
The same thing goes with a wild animal,
they can attack and run after you are a high speed, so in order to escape you
need a tactical light which you can use to disorientate them and then move to a
hiding spot or safe place.
If you are unable to run away, then the
next best thing would be to strike the attacker with the butt of your
flashlight – firing a weapon (if you have one) should always be your last
resort!
Before you make a purchase you need to make
sure your flashlight meets certain standards:
1.
The output should be at least
300 lumens
2.
Can be used to physically
strike
3.
Lower settings for night
