Would this be appropriate for a Home Defense setup? Would it just draw attention to your position in the dark?

This thing is bright outside in daylight and is extremely helpful, but it won't do you any good at night time, only you can see the glow

Yes and also have trigger activated flash light so as far as being seen no way !! Only thing they are going to see is the barrel looking at them

On mine not really. But the 300 lumen under barrel flashlight would sure make them take notice.....

It's more of a soft orange glow. It can be used as a night light. I would say if you wanted to, it could probably get you around okay in the dark, but you would only be able to see a few feet in front of you.

I guess, possibly, on the brightest setting or maybe the strobe setting. If you are in a high risk area, though, I would go with something heavier duty.

It isn't the brightest light but it is good enough for me as inside home defense.

Doubtful. Too big for that purpose. There are better lights available for guns.

It lights up a pretty wide angle. And the sensor also has a wide angle. I think it would be fine for your purpose.

No, it works in darkness when there is motion, even limited motion; you'll love it!

In principle it would be OK but here are some points to consider: 1) No audio. 2) You'd need to gin up a mount of some sort as it's designed to be screwed into a surface. 3) In the dark, the IR leds used for night illumination are fairly visible, they spill a non-trivial amount of visible red light.

I think this light would work perfect in that situation. I have experimented with the settings of mine and found that the motion sensor is just as sensitive in a lighted environment as in the dark. Also, the brightness is great enough to add extra illumination, even in already lit areas.

No this piece of junk can't see at night, and good luck getting it to dee duly ring the day. I would recommend putting in a couple extra bucks for something else, especially if it's for security purposes!

The light is brighter and bigger than your typical night light but it's not so bright that it hurts eyes. The motion detector is very sensitive and is adjustable to your desired angle. I think it's worth the money.

It will light up when a motion detected, otherwise it's dark. If a customer want to use it as security, the light can be covered with black tape.

It's really not meant to be a security motion detector, will see you at about 5 feet away and light up your path....works great at that!

I would only if you have it close to the subject. Mine does not put out much light after about a foot. The magnification is good and the gooseneck is flexible.

No, just showing this device would not deter anyone who breaks into your apartment, you have to make contact with the invader to shock them. I would suggest the writer purchase a Taser gun or explore other defense options that can be applied from a distance .

This light works very well in very dark conditions...an unlit closet or as a motion detecting night light in a dark room. I do not think it will be suitable for the purposes you have in mind.

Not really but if you have a nightstand or something close by to put it on in lantern mode, or hang it from something. it would be a okay setup.
