Strong, narrow beam more suited for longer range lighting need's such as night searches.
The strobe could be used to disorient someone long enough to get you out of a tight situation. Too bad it drops to 120 lumens in that mode instead of the full 250 lumens. Just my .05.
Overall, it’s a great little flashlight, well built, a conversation piece (LFP vs LED), and toy in some ways. If you’re first responder, or in search and rescue, I would advise buying one of the larger lights of of course. You won’t be disappointed!
