Does anyone have experience with this light being good for medical use (pupillary reflex, etc)? Or is it too bright? Thanks.

I would definitely say too bright. I had it shines in my eyes for a brief second and I was seeing spots for a minute or so.

Though I am not very well trained this light seems too bright for pupillary reflex. That being said it would not be a waste of money. It is an excellent light.

It had worked well for me when I have used it for an eye exams.. I also use the UV Stylus for darker color eyes in near total darkness. I hope this helps.

No I do not think this light would work well for that. It is bright but only for a small circle area under its top. The light doesn't project well. I think you would be straining your eyes.

In my opinion yes. For law enforcement use I don't want to hassle with a dual setting in case of an emergency, or stressful situation. Blindingly bright, but not so bright it will reflect and blind the user.

I would say the light has enough lumens to blind an attacker, BUT, it is cumbersome to get to the strobe setting and to get to the high setting you have to go through low and medium. Having said that, I do like the light, I carry it almost every day but if your main focus is a good personal defense light I would go with one of the Four Sevens tactical versions. They'd be a little bigger but offer more lumens and a better user interface with easy access to strobe setting. Hope this helps.

Good question, i use it for the same reason. As for its function its a really small scope, so steady hands and good eyes(and patients) are required. It takes a little time to focus it but it does allow you to see when your trichs are ready. For the price its worth it but if you can afford a bigger better quality one i would go with that. The built in light works well though. The over all size of is a little bigger than a large thumb (if that helps at all).

Well, we don't use our light every night, but it lasts a really long time in between charges. It is one of the brightest lights I have ever seen. I went back and bought 4 more for other relatives. My dad got one from me for Christmas, has a thermometer on his window and loves to be able to flick on the flashlight and read the thermometer from his recliner chair. He is elderly. It has been a fantastic replacement for a battery flashlight and you won't be disappointed. I love not having to purchase batteries and the brightness is wonderful. It is worth the money that I paid for it. I would gladly buy it again if and when I need one. Well, we don't use our light every night, but it lasts a really long time in between charges.

Shauna, Only if you stare directly at the light for a prolong period of time. There is a switch that makes it go from max brightness to normal brightness. It isn't adjustable so you have only 2 settings. I personaly did not have any type of issue with the brightness causing any pain for my eyes.

Doubtful. It's too bright. I'd recommend either an led blacklight. Or tying off the patients arm extremely tight heheh

Hi, I set it about arms length away from me on my desk each morning and turn it so I can just see the light in my peripheral vision. Ever so often I will look right at the light but not enough to hurt my eyes. It's adjustable so you can adjust how much light you can stand to look at. I don't have mine set at full 100% because it can be blinding. I usually have it on for an hour sometimes I'll forget about it until it's been an hour and a half and just turn it off then. I use it every morning and I've been able to turn my self around from sleeping all day to sleeping at night which was my purpose for getting it. It was recommended to me by the Sleep Center of America in Denver.

I bought one of these for red light therapy to copy what has been healing my diabetic neuropathy at tanning salons. I hope I bought the right thing. If this is what I think then this is a medical healing device. So I would say no. That is not what it is for. Of course if I bought the wrong thing please tell me.

I think it has real good light. I am also older and I have no trouble seeing with it. If it's not bright enough for you, try a small Ott light and set it close to your machine so it will throw the light right on the area where you are sewing. Hope this helps.

I bought mine for astronomy also. The red brightness is good for city astronomy and a bit bright for really dark skies. Too bad streamlight didn't allow the red LED to be dimmed like the white LEDs. It's still excellent for astronomy.

It is incredibly bright, so if you're not going to make eye contact with it, go for it. If you will keep making eye contact with the bulb, I'd avoid it.

It's bright settings are ideal. The high brightness is super bright, plus you can learn a trick by strobing between the high and low beam, a great tool to alert people. It is small, and I would recommend getting the belt clip or sheath for it. It's a great and bright light, I would definitely recommend it.

It shouldn't be too bright especially since you can control the angle of the light. Worse case scenario? Try it, and if it doesn't work it's very handy for a lot of other things....or send it back. I think you'll like it.

I think it's brighter than an ordinary flashlight. I have one in my hallway and when the lights recently went out, it lit up the hallway bright enough to see where I was going. It's not a very long hallway though.

I haven't, but the thing is BRIGHT! Its in my daughter's room. She wanted some fun lighting so we bought a cheapy movable arm desk light so she can aim it (thinking it wasn't that bright) and it lights up the room, hallway and outside her window. If you're looking to use one light to light up an entire back yard, it won't work, but as a few colored accent lights for parties to color up the place...it should do you nicely. Don't aim the light so people look at it straight on, it is truly very bright.
