In addition to helping you see in low light situations, a flashlight can also be a useful tool for self defense. Here are a few reasons why:
· Disorient an attacker: A bright flashlight can be used to blind an attacker and disorient them, giving you time to escape or fight back.
· Strike an attacker: Some flashlights, like the Imalent MS18, are designed with a sturdy construction that allows them to be used as a striking tool in self defense situations.
· Draw attention: If you are being attacked in public, shining a bright flashlight can draw attention to your situation and help others come to your aid.
