Practicing clearing the house after reinstalling the light on my home defense rifle (no light on the gun during deer season!). Came around a corner, and blasted myself in the face with 500 lumens from about 6 feet away.
I'm in a brightly lit living room, typing this out of the corner of my eye because there's a large iridescent globe in the center of my vision. Better to make this mistake now than when someone is in my house, trying to kill me. |

So, what to do. Tone down the light? Get rid of the mirror? repaint all light colored walls with darker tones? Wear sunglasses at night? Ditch the light and buy some night vision gear? A smaller, lighter, and less-bright light is on my Christmas wish list (you know, the one that doesn't ever come true). I'd like something that can mount on a pistol or rifle, something like a TLR-1 or TLR-3. My AK is heavy as it is, with a smaller light I can ditch the mini-VFG and just use the switch on the light. |
