While tactical lights are designed for police and military applications, almost everyone can benefit from keeping one handy. Read on to know what tactical lights are and how to use them.

In emergency situations
Tactical lights are much brighter as compared to ordinary flashlights. They can be extremely useful during an emergency situation, such as a power outage, especially if you live in a tornado prone location. Most people fumble to look for a flashlight if there is an outage because they have tucked one away in a drawer somewhere. So, make a habit of keeping a tactical light handy. Since tactical lights are lightweight, bright and have a long-run time, they are perfect for emergency situations.

Self-defense
Have you ever felt a little uneasy in a certain neighborhood or around a street corner? There may come a time when you need something to defend yourself.

A tactical flashlight is a great tool to disorient or blind an attacker so that you can get time to escape or defend yourself. These lights are designed with law enforcement and security professionals in mind, for example they offer extraordinary brightness. In addition, a tactical light can be carried in a concealed manner, unlike a firearm.

Illuminate
Simple illumination can also aidself-defense. A potential attacker will try to use the cover of darkness to stalk you or hide themselves. A tactical light, being as powerfully bright and, can be used simply as a deterrent.

If you are walking home late at night, or are heading to a dimly lit car park, and feel unsafe, a tactical light can illuminate your path and keep a potential attacker away. And even if an attacker does show themselves, shining a light might allow you just enough time to escape.

Blind an attacker
If light itself isn’t enough, tactical lights can also be used to blind a potential attacker. When a bright light is suddenly shone into the eyes, the sudden increase in light enters causes a temporary moment of blindness and disorient the person significantly. This can aid in self-defense and your escape.

Signal for help
A tactical light can also be used to signal for help. Its super powerful light beam makes a tactical flashlight ideal for signaling. His can prove incredibly useful in situations, such as getting lost while hiking, or your car breaks down on a dark road.

In conjunction with a weapon
Tactical lights can be used along with a weapon. Their bright output and lightweight design make them ideal for lighting up a dark area while holding a firearm in the other hand.
