I am not suggesting that anyone should rely solely on a very bright flashlight for their protection. I am ONLY asking if they can be effective as a LINE of defense. I already have self-training training and a canister of pepper spray; I'm looking for a line of defense that's more "long distance" so I won't have to use these more drastic methods.
Has anyone used a TC1200 flashlight before? At 1200 lumens, they're reported to be extremely disorienting to an attacker if flashed into the face, especially with the "strobe" effect.
Speaking as a small white girl who must occasionally cross the dark road/parking lot, would you recommend this as a line of defense? If I were to suspect someone is tailing me on said road, how could I use this most effectively? (E.g., when the potentially innocent person is farthest away to serve as a warning? When they are closer, to blind them more fully?) If you wouldn't recommend this, what long-distance safety methods WOULD you recommend?
Thank you for your opinions!
Edit: If I'm on a dark street, wouldn't it be a good idea to shine the flashlight in a nearby house window? If I were at home and a bright light suddenly shone into the house, I'd definitely poke my head outside to see WTF was going on...
