Likwid Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Ok, so completely unrelated example of why you should get a self defense flashlight. I ordered a flash off eBay... cheap Chinese brand, but it's pretty bright...Well I'm fucking around and I flash myself in the face with it at full power... it's 5 minutes later and I'm just now starting to be able to see again... seriously was scared I blinded myself.Now, I've never been an advocate of a self defense ultra highpower flashlight... I have a 6-led flashlight I considered "bright" and I figured it would be plenty to "blind" someone in the dark... now 6 minutes after blinding myself I'm realizing how incredibly useful a self defense flashlight would be....So I plan to order one... thought I'd share the experience.

GAWDjust kidding. didnt know they made flashlights that were bright enough to blind you for that long. crapola. the last flashlight i got has a strobe light function but i dont see that being useful in any situation other than a trance/club/gang bang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for thinking ur dum.[/quote']lol, as well you should be I never thought there was such thing as a source of light THAT bright... you know, except the sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 so if they had a holster to mount the flashlight into the Spiderman-web-slinging position, that would rock.......Currently using my Mag-light with 4 D-cell batteries for self defense, but it acts more like a stick instead of producing blinding light.The super mega bright flashlight is a good idea.

scottb Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 The 4D maglight is between the console and the passenger seat of my car. Really, I do like the idea of the bright flash light. I'll use "the Google" and check into those, after I search for content to add to the Tesla thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Hmmm, I was reading last week about a "puke ray" that can be home built, from bright LEDs that strobe. I guess it works pretty good.edit: btw, I remember I have an old side mount strobe with some ridiculous guide number of 160 or something.I remember taking zoom pics at night with asa 400, about two blocks down the road. Rather bright.Also remember that I have a SunPak for video camera that will start fires if you point it at something too long...Airport Landing Approach Type 9425/1 Sequence Flasher Optical Head Strobe Lightmuhahahaha!
