| Flashlights |
| Flashlights are undoubtedly useful. LEDs can provide very intense light with low power consumption. The major choices are: in the amount of weight (a heavier flashlight is bulkier, but can make a useful improvised blunt tool) The brightness the light intensity can go for high powered, high visibility and high illumination, adjustable or relatively low light. Batteries vary by model, using the image connection will help you evaluate factors such as price, reviews and model specific advantages and disadvantages. Flashlights are obviously helpful when powered illumination from central sources is not available, such as when the power grid is down. A flashlight can also provide a visibility advantage in terms of recognition. The drawback is that holding the flashlight gives an easily identified flash point in the event of a non-friendly contact situation. Concealability versus power is another consideration when selecting a flashlight. Keychain diode flashlights can be useful if you wish to maintain a low visibility operation where light is required for tactical purposes. Advanced infrared light systems are beyond the scope of this site. |
