I came across a Maglite XL100 this weekend that I've been looking for, which got my wife & I to talking... she's interested in a flashlight as another "everyday" defensive too. Like most of us, she can't carry at work (even pepper spray, etc), and she's legitimately concerned about some kind of confrontation while there (think the "disgruntled former employee" scenario). She can't be faulted for carrying a flashlight, it's a handy thing to have around in any case.
So what's everyone carry far as that goes? Strobe vs really-friggin-bright? Price? I'd like to find something under $100, and fairly compact. I'm not sure how I like the Maglite right now, it's got some cool features, but you have to be able to see in order to select them, which kinda defeats the purpose of a flashlight. :banghead:
