Security flashlights

[flojever]

I've read somewhere that researchers are developing a new kind of non-lethal weapon. We could soon see police officers and other security personnel carrying new flashlight that could blind and disorient suspects.

Maybe, we can also use it at home. You never know who will be outside when you bring the trash out at night

Some of the new generation of flashlights are really blinding already. But this is a great idea for someone in the home who didn't want to have a gun around.

This sounds like a great idea. I think a similar tool is already used by armies around the world as well as police forces. It is called the flash or bang grenate. I wonder however if such a flash light would work when the sun is still out?
