You do need extreme brightness of course, but a modern pocket rocket with an 18650 or even better a 21700 is more than capable of providing enough power. It's the most convenient self-defence EDC imho, at least at night, since not being able to see will catch most human and non-human attackers off-guard for quite a while. Of course, pepper spray or a really loud signal horn are better in theory, as they attack senses more important to the dog. But they are bulkier and not allowed everywhere, and you are therefore less likely to EDC them and have them with you when they are needed.

Never thought of that. Thank you, it’s an interesting idea. Although it does require you not being close quarters with your attacker, as they could just wrap you up. But from a distance could be effective it sounds like.

  Of course if you attacker is within grappling range, a flashlight is no longer fully effective, but I believe this is the case for all self-defense weapons. And you can still hit their eyes and nose with it. But most flashlights that I have bought have Narsil or Anduril as their firmware, which includes double-click for turbo. With this, you can quickly blind everyone even if they are approaching rapidly. https://github.com/ToyKeeper/anduril https://github.com/ToyKeeper/anduril
