Tactical Flashlights are certainly the most indispensable tools but how to use a tactical flashlight perfectly is something we all need to know better. For some reason, they are seen as something that should be used only by the police force and military officials. Let me assure you, that, however, is not the case. You will feel the same once you go through this article.
Before we take a look at their applications, let us first understand why they are so sought after. Honestly, they are a fine specimen of things that use the very little input to give out a lot of output. These are LED source lights that do not consume a lot of power but do give out heavy amounts of intensity.
The cherry on the top is that they are built to withstand harsh demands of usage. They are sturdy and high-end products that can be used by everyone and I mean everyone.
It is true that they serve a special purpose but a look at the following applications will let you know, how every day use they are.
1. Military Tool:
It is no secret that this is a military tool. It is called tactical for that very reason. The military is known to perform many operations in combat, search and rescue and also hand to hand fights.
Besides various other equipment, flashlights are seen as useful for military as they can be used in the dark to look for hostages. They can be used in water and under water as flashlights are waterproof.
Also, most of the military personals should be adept at defending themselves and what better way than blinding intensity of a flashlight?
2. Self-Defense:
They are extremely useful for self-defense. One of the main reasons is that they come with a high-intensity light that will render the other person bowing down in discomfort.
You can use that moment to get away or to hit back depending on the situation. The strobe function on most of these tactical lights makes for a good emergency call in times of distress.
What could be better than having a pocket sized tool that can save your life? Some people keep guns and knives to defend themselves but these in hands of the attacker may prove fatal for you. Flashlights are safe to use.
3. Police force:
Police have to deal with criminals every day. And these criminals do not live in the most lit areas of the town because obviously they are in the hiding.
With the help of flashlights, a police officer can use it for self-defense or for making the attacker or the opponent helpless. It is uniquely beneficial for police force because it does not kill the opponent.
It only throws them off guard. This is the basic difference between police and military. The military is trained to kill but the police force is expected to contain the problem without costing lives. Therefore, flashlights are beneficial in both.
4. Hunting:
Professional hunters as well the casual ones will agree that hunting in the dark gets you the maximum bounty. The trouble, of course, is bad lighting and visuals. The best rescue is a flashlight meant for this purpose.
A flashlight not only illuminates the area but also keeps the animals from attacking as they get disoriented after seeing such a strong source of light.
Tactical flashlights are particularly good for hunting as they have weapon mount options in which they can be stuck on top of your hunting weapon. This gives hands-free operation to the hunter.
5. Utility Tool:
This could mean different things to different people. I feel a tactical flashlight is like tactical pen will come handy in case of a car breakage. You can use it to signal for help.
You can use its light as a dipper in case your car got damaged in the middle of the road and its dipper is not functioning. If nothing else, it can be used to see your way to the safest place.
It is especially beneficial for women commuters who may find themselves in lonely places in case of car damage. Tactical flashlight’s strobe function can prove life-saving in case of an accident.
6. Power Outage:
Electricity is a reliable source of light at night but in some areas, the problem of a power outage can be quite serious.
In such a case using high energy consuming options like generator sets, oil, candles or any other sort of fuel is wrong on so many levels.
First of all, it will harm the environment and second it will waste energy for no reason. Therefore, using a flashlight in such a case will be great for everyone.
If you have young children at home, it is any day better to use a tactical flashlight because it is safe, compact and easy to carry around.
7. Camping:
What could be better than a day out at camping with friends and family? This, however, can turn into a nightmare if you are not careful with taking along proper safety and self-defense equipment.
Taking a flashlight along is absolutely necessary to keep all the crazy animals away. Animals are generally scared of anything resembling fire. Tactical flashlights produce much greater light than fire.
Camping sites will never have power or electricity. But you might need some light inside your living area at the camp. They can be used as a lamp inside your tent. Most of the tactical flashlights come with a ring, which makes them easy to hand on the tent roof.
8. Fishing:
Ever heard of bass fishing? Or any other kind of fishing that requires night time action to get good catches. Tactical flashlights are great for this as one they are waterproof in case of a splash and two because they are excellent sources of light.
