Hello all,
Every time I turn around I find a new aspect of gun ownership that utterly bewilders me.
Driving, in the seat next to my fiancee in a dark car when she pointed a 208 Lumen Coast light at a piece of white paper and hit the switch, I realized that there is such a thing as too bright.
Without having to spend several hundred dollars on trial and error, what kind of lumens are you folks using on your weapon lights (or handheld if that's your thing) for indoor purposes? My house has light colored walls, and in particular my bedroom has white walls. It is a small apartment and at most I'm looking at 7 yards distances.
Is the goal to have the minimum amount of light needed to identify a potential target, or is it to be able to disorient them without simultaneously disorienting yourself?
