A flashlight serves a number of purposes.

I remember when there was a tornado in Arlington, TX, my home town.

Everyone in my house was on alert.

The reason for this is that tornados may have been common in the smoother part of
Texas, but not north Texas, where we currently live.

Furthermore the closest a tornado ever reached Arlington was one that was in Fort
Worth years ago.

During the storm our power went out, and we needed a flashlight to be able to see.

The light really helped my family in being able to get to a secure place while in the
dark.

A flashlight can also help other people see in the dark depending on their occupation.

For example if you are a police officer in a shooting fight with a dangerous person in a
dark area having a flashlight attached to your service weapon can be very helpful.

I would like to discuss the different tips that people should remember when using a
tactical flashlight.
![Page 11: Tactical Flashlight Tips](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/587eda8c1a28abdb198b6f1b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The first tip I would like to share with you when using a tactical flashlight is to be
judicious.
![Page 12: Tactical Flashlight Tips](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/587eda8c1a28abdb198b6f1b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
By judicious I mean that you should use quick bursts of light instead of leaving the
light on.

The reason for this is that the flashlight’s purpose is to help you see your target.
![Page 14: Tactical Flashlight Tips](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/587eda8c1a28abdb198b6f1b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The light does little good if it helps your target identify you.
![Page 15: Tactical Flashlight Tips](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/587eda8c1a28abdb198b6f1b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Also, when you are using the light you should move between bursts of light, and also you shouldn’t backlight teammates.

This will help you to keep yourself and your teammates hidden from your target.

Another tip to consider when using a light is if you really need the light.
![Page 18: Tactical Flashlight Tips](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/587eda8c1a28abdb198b6f1b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
If you are searching for a possible perpetrator in your home the light may not
be necessary.
![Page 19: Tactical Flashlight Tips](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/587eda8c1a28abdb198b6f1b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
No one tends to know the layout of your home better than you regardless of it being
lit or not.

If you are part of a police team that is trying to identify if an area is safe there is one quick tip that will help you illuminate an entire room in just a moment’s notice.
![Page 21: Tactical Flashlight Tips](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/587eda8c1a28abdb198b6f1b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
If you aim your light at a white ceiling the room will be illuminated completely.
![Page 22: Tactical Flashlight Tips](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/587eda8c1a28abdb198b6f1b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
This can be very beneficial in determining the possible number of perpetrator(s) in the
room, and any possible hostages.

With these tips people should be able to better understand the benefits of a
flashlight, and how a flashlight can be used in a number of situations.
