You know you click through the button and before it turns off it is rapid strobe?
Annoying, but that feature can be used to defeat a camera trying to film you. Just point the strobe at the lens of the camera.
Or maybe other uses. idk I’m not a scientist.

It is to disorient attackers so you can fark them up.

Primarily - it can also be used as a distress signal.

That wouldn't work on cameras with IR. Unless your flashlight has an IR mode.

It is your personal discombobulater.

Using that mode dramatically increases battery life

It’s to disorient attackers or as a SOS signal to get someone’s attention that you need help

What if I told you that when it is on regular mode, it is also flashing... Your eyes are just too shitty to notice
