Even though they are smaller, some weapon-mounted lights can be surprisingly bright. You can blind an intruder using your gun light and disorient his plans. There are some things to consider when using a weapon flashlight in a home defense situation. First, it’s your home and you know it well. You can use this advantage to your advantage as long as you can. If you don’t turn on your lights immediately, the intruder will know where you are and when you are coming. You lose the element of surprise. Keep your light on until you are ready and able to flash it in the eyes of the intruder. If your light has a strobe function, you can use it to disorient and confuse the intruder. Second, make sure you turn it off after turning it on. Use your knowledge of your home to benefit. Blind him and then turn it off. Don’t give away your position, as there may be more intruders. Third, because they are so small, pistol lights can’t hold a lot of power. They have shorter runtimes that a standard tactical light. Light discipline will help prolong your battery life. It is also a good idea monitor your battery life and change/recharge them when necessary.
