[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1452292, member: 7629"] yes strobe feature can and does disorient and can be very useful. but there are some disadvantages... user can get disoriented by strobe bounce back. another major disadvantage is user provided controls to activate strobe. most flashlight forces you to cycle through a menu which includes strobe. it's a pita to go thru many functions to get to low beam or what ever you want. Blackhawk Gladius was the first flashlight that actively promoted strobe feature. was at shot 3-4 years ago when Blackhawk had a demo tent doing hands to demonstrate effectiveness of strobes. one could barely stand after getting hit directly with strobe. purchased two Gladius lights and sold off both. note this was 3-4 years ago. found for my needs ...strobe just got in the way. strobe was activated at rear cap and had a decent interface... but some early models were unreliable here's a pic of my old Gladius Night ops [b][Broken External Image][/b] here's a decent article on strobe flashlights [url]http://www.policemag.com/Channel/Patrol/Articles/2010/06/How-to-Use-a-Strobing-Flashlight.aspx[/url] [/QUOTE]
