Care to share which powerful light you keep handy? Thanks.
As a tactical light, the strobe function pumps out a blinding 2-speed strobe that will leave an assailant disoriented, temporarily visually impaired, and confused - probably long enough to hit them with a blast of pepper spray, a tazer, or to make an arrest or escape, depending on your situation. The scalloped stainless steel crown can also serve to break out a car window or to make persuasive contact with an assailant. Having one of these on your nightstand could be a key component of your home defense tactics if an intruder entered your home at night, especially when combined with Black Piexon JPX Jet Protector with Laser, Kimber Pepperblaster 2 Grey, One Size or your personal home-and-self defense weapon of choice.
The long-awaited Fenix TK75 is arguably the best flashlight made. Its use of 3 CREE U2 LED bulbs throws out an AMAZING 2600 lumens - enough to qualify as a handheld searchlight! Compare that much light to the 160 lumens of a massive 6 D-Cell Maglite flashlight, and you will begin to understand the revolution that the new LED lights have created. This hand-held light bazooka is the current leader of the industry and will light up your night!
The build quality is up to the standards that Fenix has become known for. I have the Fenix TK 22, 35, and 41 and just like all of them, the TK75 is solid, waterproof, sturdy, well balanced, and comfortable in your hand. It has four power settings, from a low setting at 18 lumens which will run for 200 hours, a powerful 400 lumens medium setting lasting 12 hours, a high setting at 1100 lumens for 4 hours, and the 2600 lumen turbo setting for just over an hour. Believe me, you won’t be running it on turbo power often - it is almost blindingly bright and shoots a beam over 650 yards! Great as a searchlight, boating light, camping or hunting light, etc.
********* I don’t own one but good choice if you have the money
Mine is a Leatherman and it is programmable but until I find the instructions I do not remember how to change it.
This flashlight kicks butt! I’ve had mine for 2+ years, banged it around, dropped it from 10+ feet and it is still going strong. Best light I’ve ever owned and I’ve been trough more than a few high priced flashlights.
