    Nice explanation. Essentially it's horses for courses. Don't wash out the scene with a too bright flashlight.

    That is it - output versus brightness, especially brightness, and brightness that is too concentrated for the use requirement.

    Now that's enlightening. No pun intended

    So, in short, get a diffuser if you want to use your 500 lumen tac torch that throws a potent beam indoors.

    I kid.

    But good video. Thanks Sir!

    A couple years ago we had builders next door to the shop... and lots of early morning alarm activations (purely coincidental, of course). Anyhoo we ended up doing a load of house/yard clearing exercises. You don't need to blind yourself by shining your tactical light into a window pane... or even some green bushes (with a waxy layer on the leaves). Test the light out in your expected environment.

    Thanks for sharing the video Khumba! Do you perhaps stock the Elzetta Flood Lenses?

    For the Bravo and Charlie - I think we do (did last week when I checked for customer but that was before Huntex) - maybe just double check in a day or so online or call the shop on 012 348 2203.
