Today, we are profiling the Taser Strikelight 2 from Axon Industries. In case you missed our first blog on Axon’s Taser Self-Defense business, the lack of public awareness to the availability of civilian Tasers has prevent them from being more widely adopted. Although they might look different than their law enforcement equivalents, they share the same proven technology and are just as effective in stopping a threat in its tracks. The Strikelight 2, Pulse, and Bolt —represent a conscious effort to make advanced self-defense technology accessible to the civilian market.
The Rising Tide of Risk
Before reviewing the Strikelight 2, it is best to provide a basic side-by-comparison of features and capabilities. In addition, I would like to highlight one important aspect of the device that makes its features and capabilities different from the others. The Strikelight 2 is a combination stun gun, and 3-in-1 high visibility flashlight, that requires an attacker be within arm’s length. The Pulse and Bolt 2 fire two probes and are effective up to 15-feet. More perspective on the differences between the technologies will be shared throughout the blog series.
The Strikelight 2 delivers industry-best stun-gun effectiveness in the form of a portable flashlight with three distinct light modes. Capable of close-contact stun and long-distance warnings, it adds portability and protection to any activity.
What I like about this technology:
- It’s a damn good flashlight. At its best, it throws a 700-lumen high intensity light which offers a great balance between the angle of the beam and how far it illuminates. In other words, you turn it on and nothing that might present a risk to you is going to go unnoticed. But it also offers a 150-lumen low beam and red mode light for improved night vision
- Although it requires an attacker to be within arm’s reach, the activation of the stun feature creates a loud, long-range arc warning. The sound and visualization of arcing between the two metal prongs is enough to make a potential attacker think twice. In all honesty, I would
never want to be on the receiving end of this device. - The versatility of the device is hard to beat. In the absence of danger, you’ve got a very functional flashlight. In low light situations where you might be in harm’s way, you have the added benefit of an industry leading 20kV contact stun capability. In your home, in your yard, on a walk, in your purse or in the car …. pure portable protection.
- The Taser Safe Escape Replacement guarantee, which is offered on all their devices, is just another testament to the company’s commitment to personal protection. If you are ever forced to use their devices in a self-defense situation, are forced to flee and lose your device, they will replace it. Simply provide a copy of a police report and they will replace the device, no questions asked.
- For less than $170, you really can’t beat it. You get a high-quality, highly versatile, entry level product in what I consider to be amongst the more advanced options in less-than-lethal self-defense technology.
- There is virtually no training required. Simple, intuitive, and easy to use.
