As we all know, in low-light environments, we must also be able to spot, target, identify threats, and ensure our own safety. And relying on the strong light gun light installed on the weapon can meet this demand to a large extent. Now, please follow me and know some details of the gun lights.
Gun Light Brief Introduction
The laser gun light is mounted on the weapon and acts as a tool for information acquisition and processing: identifying the main threat object, the depth of the room, obstacles, high-risk areas, etc. In addition, one of the main functions of the gun light, as I'm sure many of you know, is to use the strong light emitted by the gun light to blind the eyes of the enemy staff.
Gun lights and handheld tactical flashlights emit a beam of light that can both confuse and disrupt the target's vision, weakening its situational awareness of the surrounding environment, and giving the user a clear lighting effect that facilitates target identification.
Especially when it is necessary to use a weapon, the gun light can assist in aiming at a certain distance. As long as the axes of the gun light and the gun head remain in a parallel position in the horizontal direction, wherever the beam points, the gun is aimed. With the aid of the gun light, the pointing aiming accuracy at close range is also greatly improved.

Baldr Pro R Rechargeable Gun Light
The Baldr Pro R has a nice shape and good output. If you have a full size handgun and want a rechargeable gun light with a green laser, this might be the weapon light for you. It is a 1,350 lumen white light with a beam throw of 200 meters, making it a better companion for home defense pistols.
The BALDR Pro R uses an onboard 3.6V 1000mAh rechargeable lithium-polymer battery, which integrates laser and magnetic rechargeable batteries. The Baldr Pro R magnetic charging function is loved by everyone.
Double-clicking the nifty tail switch when the light is on will switch between high and low light output. When set to the 300 Lm low setting, the maximum run time for white light is 93 minutes. Pressing both tail switches simultaneously will activate the strobe lights. The strobe can be turned off with a single press of any button. Pressing and holding either switch will activate momentary on. A quick press and release of the tail switch will activate constant on and off. The buttons on the BALDR Pro R give a nice tap experience.

Advice on gun light and tactical flashlight applications
1. Try to find those well-known gun light brands. Put the brightest tactical flashlights and gun lights you can find and buy on your weapons. In my experience, the lighting effect of a gun light or tactical flashlight can at least fully illuminate a space the size of a standard room.
When ready to enter the room, turn on the gun light or tactical flashlight at the same time. Then I can control the whole room with the light beam, and can quickly observe, evaluate, and dispose of any object in the room, anything that happens, according to the light of the flashlight. If it is a low lumen flashlight, I guess I can only see about 1/4 of the room. So try to buy a high-lumen flashlight.
2. For the use of "scattering" technology (lighting the flashlight at different angles multiple times) or the so-called manual strobe technology.
The meaning of turning on or of the flashlight is to let you see clearly in the dark environment, whether there is a threat when you are about to go to the next location, such as walking through the corridor, walking down the stairs, etc. After discovering that the suspected target may be hiding in this room, people can't wait to apply the technology of lighting up the flashlight several times on the path into the room to illuminate their own travel route. This will give us something bad - tunnel vision.
The correct way is to turn on the flashlight after entering the room where the suspect target is located. If no target is found within our line of sight, we can turn off the flashlight immediately and then move to the next location, then turn on the flashlight again to search and control. suspicious area. if your flashlight is bright enough, you can use the marginal vision of the naked eye, then you can see more than just the narrow area directly in front of you, the line of sight can cover a wider range. However, I also understand such a truth, the use of the flashlight should also be based on different situations to choose the correct way, if we have made it clear that we want to break into a room (already in the room), then let the flashlight keep on, and directly Illuminating the target will be faster than using the " scattering " lighting technique: illuminate-move-relight-identify and dispose of the target.
