With such a narrow, high-throw focus, it wouldn't appear that bright unless it was pointed directly at them. If your aim is good, you could temporarily blind them.

You just need to get him in the face. It's like a laser pointer. You don't want those shined at your face...

I have flashlights all over my house, and they come in handy more often than you'd think.

Yup. Theres' a quote from someones' sig at CPF that says something like, "You'd carry an umbrella if there was 50% chance of rain. Well theres' a 100% chance of darkness everyday."

I used to go crazy with them. At one point I had 9 Surefires and a few Mag mods, well over a grand worth of lights. I'm down to 3 Surefires and 2 Mag mods. But the sickness continues...

I've got 1 surefire and 1 mag mod, and a bunch of other flashlights. Some guys are really into this stuff.

Theres a guy over at CPF that I think goes by the handle jtice and he showed a picture of an entire ROOM filled with Surefires and all sorts of other lights. Insane. There had to be $30K+ worth of lights in there....
