I bought the Olight warrior x pro for seeing further in dark and self defence. It's 2250 Lumens and it's small high quality flashlight. I've done Karate training for self defence and know few moves that are very lethal. In martial arts you have so much advantage to defend yourself and martial arts is fun and learns you how to use it in self defence! Here in uk there are so many knife attacks and people have died from these attacks and knife crime is going up and getting worse. With warrior X pro flashlight you can carry it around with you and comes with holster. These tips you gave are so useful to know! Tatical flashlights is an effective item to carry every day and night. Great video!

Thanks for showing me how to use my tactical flashlight, I bought a Bushnell PRO T600L several years ago. I keep it on my nightstand right next to my alarm clock.

Recommendations haven't changed since this video was made in January. If you're gonna carry in your pocket, I would recommend the 500 lumen ProTac 2L-X: amzn.to/2Vrs8hi. If you want a bigger light, check out the 1,000 lumen ProTac HL-X: amzn.to/2GQxnnJ. One thing that has changed is that Streamlight now offers both models with a rechargeable 18650 battery. The battery itself has a micro USB port on it. You can still use traditional 18650 batteries, i.e. ones that you put in a normal charger and don't have the USB port built into the battery. Streamlight is a high quality brand, similar to Surefire, but much more cost effective.

@@MindfulDefenseSelfDefense Hi, i seen the Streamlight 88061 ProTac 1L-1AA Dual Fuel Professional Tactical Light - 350 Lumens. what are your thoughts on this for self defense? One thing i do like about this one, is the duel battery use.

@@senseiSinclair That's a decent light too, assuming you're talking about this one: amzn.to/2UXHYCa. A few things to consider, it's right on the low-end of what you'd want for lumens. Dual fuel is nice, but keep in mind that you're giving up a lot in terms of battery life and lumens if you use alkaline as opposed to lithium batteries. That light you mention is only 150 lumens if you use it with AA alkaline batteries. When it comes to battery options, I would rather go with the option of 2 CR123's or 1 18650 rechargeable and higher lumens, such as the Streamlight ProTax 2L-X here: amzn.to/3cbtAfy. Personally, I try to get all of my lights to either accept cr123's and/or 18650's. That way I have the option of putting rechargeable batteries in my lights. Again, keep in mind that alkaline batteries may seem tempting, but you're going to lose a lot in terms of lumens and battery life. If you want "dual fuel", look at a light the allows you to switch between cr123's and rechargeable 18650's, such as this one: amzn.to/2y8WE8w. I hope this helps.

Thought about getting one between 13-50 thousand lumens for self defense. Guns and knives are practically illegal to carry here in Finland, so it'd be a great tool for it. That being said, the chance of ever needing to use the flashlight for self defense in one of the safest countries in the world is low as hell, probably lower than a single percent.
