Brite-Strike Tactical Blue-Dot Flashlight: The perfect glovebox companion...The Tactical Blue Dot flashlight by Brite-Strike has been designed by police officers for police officers and is now available to the public. This 90 lumens flashlight is definitely not your ordinary flashlight, particularly because of its “Tri Strike Crown” on both ends of the light specifically for self defense techniques. The Luxeon® LED allows the flashlight to emit a brilliant white light beam (with no dark spots) that can be used for self defense by temporarily blinding and disorienting an attacker or even assisting in the changing of a flat tire on a pitch black highway. The flashlight case is made out of aircraft grade aluminum and is hard as nails, waterproof and shockproof. This rugged flashlight can make a difference in almost any emergent situation. Ranging in size from 3.5” to 5”, the Brite-Strike flashlights are compact and pack a mean punch. Pricing ranges from $110-$150.
