Unfortunately, security issues do not lose their relevance. More and more people are thinking about always having at hand a small tool that will help to give a potential attacker at least a minimal rebuff. A great option - a flashlight-shocker.
How does the flashlight work?
The product described is a functional device integrating both a flashlight and a shocker. Agree, it is very convenient, especially in the conditions of poor illumination of our streets, and full pits and potholes of roads.
Outwardly, the shocker looks like a normal flashlight , performing two functions - lighting, and the main one - protective. The shocker itself is disguised, you can not immediately understand that a normal flashlight can give such a tangible rebuff. The device of an electric shock with a flashlight is simple: a plastic or metal case is equipped with a light bulb and an integrated battery. At the edges of the shock edge are metal plates, which, if the function of the shock driver is activated, shock the attackers. In this case, the owner himself is protected from the action of electricity.
How to choose a flashlight-shoker?
Today's choice of flashlight-shockers, which can be found in specialized stores, is quite wide. At the same time, you need to make purchases based on your own needs.
So, for example, one of the main criteria can be called power. This applies to both the lighting of the flashlight and the operation of the shocker. See for yourself: if you often need additional lighting to repair a car or various works at home, powerful flashlights-electric shock can be a great help, not just a weapon of self-defense. Along with this, most often the representatives of the fair sex prefer compact models up to 12-17 cm in length, which lightly illuminates the road and dark areas. Such products are easily placed in a women's handbag . Men, as a rule, choose models more spacious and heavier, we can say, more reliable.
As for the power of the charge of the shocker, it all depends on the purpose for which you acquire the device. Models with 0.3-1 W are used to repel dogs. Slightly more powerful shockers with 1-2 W can scare off the attacker without causing harm to him. Additional lighting from the flashlight lamp here plays a blinding function. Products whose power ranges in excess of 2 watts, can neutralize the enemy for a while.
It makes sense to pay attention to the material of the case. Plastic lanterns-shockers, of course, are easier, and are cheaper. However, metal models will last you a lot longer. After all, they are not afraid of blows.
In addition, check whether it is convenient to press the electric shock button. In stressful situations, many people are lost and are unable to take advantage of this flashlight function in time. A quick and easy pressing will easily solve this problem. It is important that the switch does not work when in contact with the bag or clothes.
The aspect, on which we also recommend to stop, is how to charge the flashlight-electric shaker. The devices are equipped with batteries or batteries. Batteries can be recharged, but if they fail, finding similar ones is not always easy. The batteries are replaced with new batteries, but they quickly "sit down".
Among the models among users, a flashlight-electroshocker "Police" is popular, which features functionality, convenience, and also a relatively affordable price. There are also devices such as "Lightning Cree VIP", "OSA" in various modifications, "Sherhan", "Scorpion" and many others. The price range is the broadest - there are both budgetary and very expensive models.
