For self defense applications you want a light to be above 60 lumens+.
A self defensive light....
You want to temporarily blind and even confuse your intended target. When you get 60 or even 90-120+ lumens you can accomplish this without too much difficulty.
Remember to replace your batteries in these babies (frequently at least every quarter or semi annually).
Only 120 lumens?
I don't own a flashlight that puts out less than 300, unless it's on low .. I'm ordering another that's close to 900 lumens, from a pocket flashlight.... and it has a strobe function.. talk about disorienting.
