Prepare for College with an LED Flashlight

It’s the beginning of August which means one big thing for college students and parents alike: Getting ready for school! Parents run around, making certain their college student has everything he or she may need to start their own independence. One important aspect that parents worry about is the safety of their children. An incredibly helpful safety tool parents might not know about is a flashlight. Many LED flashlights can be used for non-lethal self-defense in an emergency situation.

Not only can an LED flashlight be used for self-defense, it is a handy tool to have around especially for blackouts, storms, and general convenience. If you’re looking for a flashlight that can be used for self-defense, make sure i features a flashing strobe mode. This feature allows you to blind an attacker so you can run away and get help. You can find a flashlight that is small enough that your kid can carry it around in his or her pocket or on a key chain even.

For college kids, we would suggest the MecArmy PT series flashlights because they have the strobe mode feature, are small enough to carry around, and are rechargeable with a USB port. The Klarus Mi7 is also a great flashlight because it’s less than four inches in length, has the strobe feature, and comes in colors which just makes everything fun!
