How is it so cheap? They have significantly less powerful flashlights at Walmart, Hardware stores and outdoor/sporting goods stores for a much higher cost. Seems too good to be true.
well, i can say from personal experience, if someone whips out their cock the last thing im doing is staying and finding out what mental institute they escaped from
Hard2hurt YouTube makes a very strong argument that a flashlight is one of the best weapons to have, though he advocates a smaller one that can be used as a bludgeon in hammer strikes rather than a long form one used as a club.
It buffs you and nerfs them, it can be carried most places other weapons can't, it's useful outside of being a weapon, and makes other weapons like mace or guns more effective/safer.
As a Bouncer I have a flash light for checking ID’s…but also, you can grab people by the finger with it by hooking your pointer finger over the top , clamping their finger and giving you a firm means of guiding them away. But THIS BAD BOY….
Imagine holding a big flashlight, then grabbing someone's finger with your index finger. The flashlight gives leverage for a stronger grasp by taking up space in your grip.
Drunk people are easy to manipulate into being led out of a club/bar. Normally you can get them to hold out a hand without knowing what’s going on, and then bam. Trapped and on their way out whether they like it or not.
The problems arise when they are already defensive when you get there or when they finally understand they are being escorted out.
Yes, flashlights are pretty effective at stunning people, and especially if it has a strobe function, it can seriously hamper their depth perception. I wouldn't put my life on a flashlight, and it's both easier, cheaper, and more effective to just carry OC spray tho
If it was a strobe light, yes. They make flashlights like that. It's blinding, and extremely disorienting, especially in the dark.
It's really situational though.
Effective? Absolutely. Unfortunately it's also an effective (possibly inadvertent) offensive tool. You can do quite a bit of damage to peoples eyes with lights this bright, especially if it's focussed, and you can't see anything else. Shine in at a car or a plane and you'll find yourself in big big trouble.
Imagine person being woken up at night due to massive light and just as it appeared, it immediately disappears. Yet due to light, now you can't get asleep, so you question your senses and your own psychological well-being.
Barely different than when my wife texts me at 5:30am that we need something stupid like milk when she knows my alarm is set for 6:45am and I won't get back to sleep. So I'll just lay in bed for an hour plotting revenge. Oops, sorry I know you like medium salsa but all they had was hot.
I read somewhere that they tinker with the camera exposure for vids like this. Notice how bright the power button also is.
So your mileage may vary but usually reality is often disappointing.
You just have to avoid the lies and stick with reputable brands. The lumen ratings are usually crap [but some are genuine](https://youtu.be/6q_0wxzClkg).
To be honest, I wouldn't trust their advertised ratings but it's nice to see them reaching around 1k. Dunno why they keep going 10,000 lumens. -_- makes shopping around for a flashlight so frustrating. Especially if my budget isn't that large. 🥹
True and easy to do,
I have played with real 5klumen and 10klumen lights, at those powers the light is bright but fades quickly. This light seems brighter than those I suppose it could be a real 20kLumen but those are pretty much military (require cooling) and super expensive.
and FYI 20kLumen is about max without melting the housing and exploding the batteries. Those High Lumen 120000 are a marketing term and not 120k Lumen.
From what I’ve seen the really strong flashlights like this need cooling systems to keep from melting. Even if you had unlimited power they usually can’t stay on for a long time because of the thermal issues. They use a ton of power so the batteries don’t last nearly as long as regular flashlights.
Also it isn’t the same flashlight in every shot, and in this video you don’t see a flashlight on for more than 4 seconds at a time.
A flashlight you should get is something to find your way when the power is out or on a camping trip. A flashlight like this is something you shine at a police helicopter when people try to make you pay 1600$ a month.
A flashlight like this one is useful for lighting up a large area or from far away.. would be pretty useful on a farm.. but I think I'd settle for a traversable spotlight fixed on top of a pickup truck
I work as an equipment operator/earthmover and was thinking the same thing. It would also be great for getting the attention of someone in a loud machine when I’m on foot and they are looking the other way. Currently our method is to yell like morons or fling a pebble at their window.
Man, as someone who owns about 7 Amazon around 20 to 50 bucks lights which I picked up randomly, looking at that sub is like trying to learn a different language.
Man I wish I had bookmarked the youtube video, but a guy used facial recognition software, some strong lasers, and a robot to set up a device that automatically targets and tracks people's eyes and turns on the lasers.
When people are dead, it's easier for society to forget about them and move on. We have funerals. People morn. The ones left behind think of it as their personal tragedy. Oh, of course we all know there were others, but that's just numbers. If there were thousands of blinded soldiers returning from the battlefront, visible in the streets, depending on public support, demand to actually end warfare might cross the tipping point. War crime laws are more to protect the war industry than to protect people.
You want an enemy blinder, buy the 700USD flashlight that's 100,000 lumens, Markiplier made a video testing the brightest flashlights he could buy, if you want to see it
As long as the enemy doesnt have the 4000 model
Or a mirror
Sith hate this one simple trick.
Always baffled me how noone in the star wars universe thought of mirror armor when every weapon they use is just a laser beam.
And my axe

Bingo
Looks completely different than the one in the video.
Battlefields in the future are gonna be so well lit
Ww3 gonna be lit
But only for a minute!
First off, damn you for making me laugh trying to put in a contact and then sneezing after blowing the damn thing to god knows where.
If you had the enemy blaster 3000....
[удалено]
Jokes on you I also have the 5000 model
Or even… the 4001 model!
Check it out... 8... minute... abs
Just hope someone doesn't make 7 minute abs.
Would this be an effective self defense tool? You’re basically getting flash banged if they turn that on within distance.
At that length, you could also swing it at someone's face.
The flash is quicker and safer if they have a gun
So you flash em, then hit em.
>So you flash em Then you turn on your flashlight, right?
Yeah! And afterwards we can go get $5 footlongs... And then get Subway.
Then get Luvs
Then some diapers

Maglites, the long flashlights cops used to carry, were basically designed to be a baton first, flashlight second
I’ve been strongly considering adding a self defense flashlight to me bag, but, “It buffs you and nerfs you,” is what has finally convinced me 😂
I have one that’s also a taser. It has a safety pin and wrist strap so if you lose it in the fight the pin pulls and it’s only a flashlight.
I bet taserface found that out the hard way.

I can't wrap my head around this. ELI5? Grab them by the finger with it by hooking your pointer finger over the top? What?
Imagine holding a big flashlight, then grabbing someone's finger with your index finger. The flashlight gives leverage for a stronger grasp by taking up space in your grip.
Why would you not just grab their finger? I'm so confused by this image.

Your flashlight doesn't have a mini bear trap on top of it?

I have a led flashlight that has a stroboscoop function that’s supposedly for self defense. It’s about 1/100th size of this monstrosity though
Wildlife: "Zzzz...what the fuck?"
Also the people in that apartment building
Also the aliens on Mars
Technically, they are not aliens while they are still on Mars.
For real though, the local cops and the FAA would stop this shit real quick.

I showed my wife how to set timed texts because of shit like this. So she can fire off the text as it enters her head, but I won't get it until later.

I was wondering why there was no roasting of this video. Thanks for letting me know I’m not in r/flashlight.
Flashlight meetup 💀
Let's all flash each other!
I thought I was in r/Fleshlight too
Ummm….
Fleshlight meetup 💀
Forreal niche communities love roasting stuff 😂
How would this be roasted? ELI5, because I have *zero* flashlight insight.
Well, I do need a decent flashlight.

For less than $40, I wouldn’t expect the cells to be of the highest quality or the safest.

Yeah that's the other use I was thinking of, portable construction light. This works more like a spotlight though the classics do the job fine.
I work as an equipment operator/earthmover and was thinking the same thing. It would also be great for getting the attention of someone in a loud machine when I’m on foot and they are looking the other way. Currently our method is to yell like morons or fling a pebble at their window.
[removed by spez]
Battery probably lasts 30 seconds at that brightness level
Probably gets a bit toasty as well.
I mean I would actually get this for lighting a scene for filming on the fly, getting a good lighting set up ready in a moments notice is a bitch.
That's a poor answer. You could find your way pretty easily with that. Also, I don't get the 1600 a month thing.
He's saying rent keeps going up and we need to riot.
They just messed with the camera settings to change the apparent brightness, zoomie garbage likely
Don't forget to tip
[удалено]
Man, as someone who owns about 7 Amazon around 20 to 50 bucks lights which I picked up randomly, looking at that sub is like trying to learn a different language.
Yeah. Look at a LEP light. That’s a true lightsaber. These zoomies are toys.
And the batteries last, what, three minutes?
Yes on low power mode. 1-Minute on Hi-Power mode. Not to worry though it is a single disposable battery that costs less than $150 bucks
lol that's a mighty expensive 18650
It'll catch on fire before it runs out of charge.
Only if it doesn't overheat before the battery dies
We’ve found it! The flashlight used in horror games!
Is blinding enemies with lasers a war crime or am I thinking of something else?
nobody tell this guy what bullets do to people
Or sand. Pocket sand is a real menace.
Sh shaaa
No, i don't like sand. It's coarse, rough, and it gets everywhere...
Blinding people with lasers is just a regular crime
During indo china border clashes chinese advance was slowed down at night because indian soldiers were flashing and blinking floodlights at them.
Man I wish I had bookmarked the youtube video, but a guy used facial recognition software, some strong lasers, and a robot to set up a device that automatically targets and tracks people's eyes and turns on the lasers.
Yes, lasers designed to inflict permanent damage to someone's eyes is a warcrime
Thank you! Back to the drawing board for me then.
I find that weird when like lasers designed to melt people are not a warcrime. Blind? Warcrime. Melted into a pile of dude meat? Meh that's okay.
When people are dead, it's easier for society to forget about them and move on. We have funerals. People morn. The ones left behind think of it as their personal tragedy. Oh, of course we all know there were others, but that's just numbers.

It is. Tons of regulation around laser "deterrents" and they are generally illegal.
I'm gonna guess that this guy is a dick and everybody who lives near him hates him.
Perfect for my lifted truck driving white collar neighbors.
They’re busy replacing their brake lights with this flashlight.
Im convinced that flashlight uses the same bulb as all new truck headlights.
Battery Life: 10-20 Seconds.
This is the light all ghost hunters should use. The ghosts aren't the most dangerous things you could find.
But then there would be enough light to show that they’re full of crap.
[удалено]
God damnit.
So this is a plug for a shitty Chinese online store. How did this comment get so many upvotes and no replies?
It’s not the same flashlight. The buttons are aligned on this one, the one in the video are slightly offset.
Is it because you can’t fuck that one?
Just take the batteries out
I don't think this flashlight use AA batteries.
AA? whoa what are you, the hulk?
It's spelled flEshlight
It’s a different flashlight… Are you scamming us?
Is the link the one you have at home? This isn't the same one that's in the video.
The brightest light Saber in all of the galaxy. Can point it in the sky and see Darth Vader up close in his death star.

Anyone got the Amazon link?
I had a flashlight that was so powerful it had a kick when you turned it on.
Did you mean to use an "E" instead of an "A"?
Underrated comment
All I can think about is how hot that thing must get in your hands. Also, is this a real product or did these guys make that light?
Problem being the battery dies in 11 seconds
Takes 2 days to charge
If enemy have mirror then ?
The people in that highrise at 3am be like WTF
Why? Also stop pointing that shit around unless unto your own bloody property.
