This is
one (the Enecell Powerspot for 15 bucks at RS when i got it at 84 lumens and three triple a's) I EDC everyday im wearing my pants, haha. Its about the size of your
hand from palm to finger tip (begin slightly off topic rant) and its a great self defense flashlight at least for me it is, when the batteries are at full
power, you flip the
switch at about 5 or 10 feet, even for 84 lumens, it lights you up like your looking into a spotlight because of the tight narrow beam in the middle, and turns you
blind for up to 10 to 15 seconds if hitting your eyes right and while your blinking trying to get all the colors out of your
vision. (I have one other Enercell that puts out 170 to 180 lumens and is tight/wide beam adjustable (that one really makes you go
blind if its narrow beam close range for at least a full 5 minutes if your dumb enough to stare at it or have your eyes exposed for an extended time) just by pushing the
lens in or out and this I can attest to (hitting trees and shining them at almost 140+ yards estimated but that beam can be made out on the tree
line in the woods at distances) the slightly bigger one (almost a half finger longer then the tiny one I use) is great for Self defense as ive actually tested it on a friend lightly of course but wen the
base makes contact with your arm or shoulder, your going to feel it like a
baton hit you because of its ruggedized material and being the fact its slightly metal/mostly aluminum XD. (end rant)
The smaller one might serve your purposes in some scenarios as long as your not shining it directly at ppl's faces (see example above) but even if the batteries get comfortable in there they wont be as bright and less blinding, but will still give a good
throw distance in front of you to see where your going or what your focusing on. The batteries id recommend for these also are either Energizer or Duracell. the Enercell batteries people try to sell off eventually after a
bit of use corrode with a whitish paste around the contacts and do get hot enough if powered for an amount of time to burn you (as ive done to myself once or twice, but its not a bad first degree burn but it'll
sting). energizers and Duracell's, no problem a
bit hot but nothing remotely as serious. Just my two cents as a flashlight guy and a
venue (church) AV operator
