I have read there are LED lights which phase on and off in a pattern which will disable a person unless I guess, he closes his eyes. If he keeps his eyes closed then you have a big advantage.
I have never actually seen one of those lights but I sure would like to have one.

The Fox Fury MF 1000 is a pretty good example, but a bit largish for concealment/convenience carry. Just recently available is the Streamlight ProTac HL 600 Lumen Tactical Flashlight [circa $75] which puts out just about double the amount of light that my daily carry light does.
Both have *winky* modes generally described as *lighthammers.* Both are deserving of consideration for the applications for which they were designed. But my requirement for a tactical light includes the ability to use it in a range outside of visible light with night [not always, as inside a theatre with the power cut] vision equipment.
