Underpowered low setting - SureFire Defender Ultra Dual Output LED Flashlight

The light is reliable and the metal construction gives it durability. The smaller diameter makes it easier to carry this in a pocket or bag than the standard size. Love the bright setting, throws the beam a long distance. Fits well in the hand. Not sure why the bezel is jagged but I guess it could be used for striking as a last resort.
There is a clip that allows for the light to be mounted in a pocket but it feels a bit disruptive in the hand and the light is too heavy to try and use the clip to mount it on a hat. The light has two settings, bright and extremely dim. The dim setting is okay if you are trying to find something brightly colored in a bag or see a sidewalk at night but other than that it isn't bright enough to be useful. As a self defense tool going immediately to the bright setting makes sense but if you are trying to use the dim setting you blind yourself turning it on and then have to wait for your eyes to adjust to the underpowered dim setting. The jagged bezel is hard on pockets and makes it easier for security guards to view this as a weapon which doesn't seem worth the benefits. The high power setting goes through batteries quickly.
