you need to get them shooting and carrying a handgun. if I were a rapist/attacker a flashlight wouldn't stop me. just my opinion.

I agree that a light is a good tool for locating a potential threat. It may also make a user more of a hard target than they're willing to tolerate.

I highly doubt it will stop someone with absolute intentions do harm a person.

What's your budget? What type of batteries would be used....primary CR123s or rechargeable li-Ions?

I've bought several "Ultrafire" Asian knockoff flashlights from ebay. They advertise 2,000 lumens, have a strobe etc. and are blinding bright. You can get them with a single rechargeable battery and charger for about 12 bucks.

I'm a flashlight nut and I have used these guys for years without an issue.

I do agree on the pepper spray, but you wanted flashlight info. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3PC-2000LM-U...0AAOSw9r1V7~2w

NiteCore is great also, I have the smaller MT1C. The MT2C is equivalent to Fenix pd35. You can find them at a reasonable price on ebay.
