Looks pretty sleek

security guard: you will need a 6d maglight, handy torch and lethal weapon all wrapped up in one package

Raumarik · 17 May 2009 at 20:31

Only problem with that is you can't see what you're hitting if you're waving it about!

Doonhamer · 17 May 2009 at 20:32

Exactly, something weighty you can swing

Under £40? Fenix L1D Q5 - http://www.fenixtorch.co.uk/led_torches/fenix_l1d_q5.html

If you can manage an extra £7.95 then the new LD20 is a little better and newer: http://www.fenixtorch.co.uk/led_torches/fenix_LD20.html

Add some rechargeable AA's (Sanyo Eneloops or Uniross Hybrios) and your sorted

This maglite is a good weapon

It's what my step dad uses as a security guard.

Or an even bigger one

LED Lenser are pretty good (I have the V2 aviator which is good), otherwise look at the Fenix range. The Fenix I have is super bright, and brilliant for dark places that you need to see well in, it does have quite a directional bean though.

EDIT: What about the TK40? Over 600 lumens! :eek:

http://www.fenixtorch.co.uk/led_torches/fenix_tk40.html and big enough to crack heads with as well by the looks of it (not that you would need that with any of the Fenix torches in full power mode.

Momentary blindness > cracked skull.

3D Maglite with LED uprade, about £20 if you have a Costco card.

If you need to burn retinas as well as bump people on the head then add a Malkoff drop-in module: http://www.malkoffdevices.com/shop2/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=2

Sorted

No offence, but with Maglites biggest isn't always best - the 6D is HUGE and pretty heavy, the 3D is more than sufficient for bonking people on the head/arm/leg and the batteries last ages.

Edit: http://www.pagesdiy.com/acatalog/Maglite_3D_Cell_Torch.html - £23 for the LED 3D Maglite at the bottom of the page.

Yeah thats them, D Cell, the battery life is good, however may be worth getting rechables.

there ya go no need to hit them when you can just blind them into submission.

chipperhead · 17 May 2009 at 21:42

Here's my latest torch, unfortunately not big enough for self defense.
Rated at 900 lumens but in reality about 600 lumens, uses a Seoul SSC P7-D LED.
Just over £20, uses a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, more of a flood type beam than a thrower, 5 modes Hi-mid-low-strobe-sos.

Pictured below next to my mobile and beam shots compared to a 3W luxeon torch (Mr Bulk Lionheart) that pushes out 80 lumens.

I start my training as a PC very soon and I've bought the LED Lenser P7, ordered from pellilite on ebay for £45 with free engraving - so you can have anything written on it also, i.e. your security firm / name etc. This may seem slightly expensive for a torch, but believe me it's worth the money.

I was blown away with how powerful it is, 200 lumens coming from a fairly small torch - on a focussed beam it can light up a house literally from 1 end of my road to the other. It feels really solid too, a top quality product. It came with a holster and caribine etc. to attach to your belt, would definitely recommend!
