I've got a Fenix rechargeable (960 lumens) that ran ~$65-$70 (don't remember exactly since I've owned it for ~1.5 yrs now). Holds a charge very well, and is BLINDINGLY bright. I'd bet most people wouldn't be able to aim at it very well because of the intensity. Certainly not as well as I'd be able to aim with it lighting up my target.

And in the context of this thread, which is self defense, not a covert military sniping operation... I'm saying....there are advantages.
Yes....... and you aren't supposed to just stand out in the open with your light on. Use cover , hit light for 1/2 second, then move. Hopefully all they see after that is a white dot burned into their retina and don't even realize you have moved/are gone.
Most of my self-defense plans/ideas are to escape. Not shoot it out.
