A tactical flashlight is a handheld or weapon-mounted torch designed to help tactical personnel carry out their duties. When used properly, it can heighten tactical effectiveness in threat identification, target acquisition, visual impairment, and surviving in a ground fight. The defensive light typically produces a blast of blinding white light that can negate penalties for darkness within their illuminated areas, temporarily overwhelm the dark-adapted vision of an attacker and enhance the user’s ability to identify and engage a target. A tactical flashlight is designed and engineered to provide powerful, dependable, and conveniently available illumination that will not fail you when you need it. Cutting-edge LED technology is packed into the light to deliver performance, robustness and reliability that cater to military, police, security and law enforcement professionals. Tactical flashlights are also used by civilians to aid in personal self-defense and emergency assistance.
