Can you use the taser while the flashlight is on or will switching to taser turn the flashlight off, putting you in the dark with your assailant?

No you can not use the taser when the light is on. I'd say find something better.
1882912
You cannot use both at the same time, that is the one drawback. I wish I'd done more research. BUT for the price you won't find a better product. Another thing is that is only going to stun your assailant, not going to drop him or disable him. This is more of a novelty to prank friends

You must push switch from light position to taser which will turn light off. They didn't include charging cord with one of mine.

No the one I had the light stays on. Basically the switch is all the way to the back in the off position. You move it forward one notch with your thumb and you have the flashlight. You move it forward two notches with your thumb and you have the flashlight and the tazer if you press another button underneath your first finger.

It will not fire with flashlight on, however this is solid flashlight with hi, low beam and adjustable beam. Very bright and powerful well worth the money.

You can only have one or the other on can't have both on at once. I have never seen one that can have both on at same time.

Yes you can turn light on and off. You can have steady light or have strobe action going. It is a really bright light and will scare any intruder and temporarily blind them giving you a great advantage. Hope this info is helpful.

I use the flashlight on this often because it is so bright and can be a determent for an attacker. It is very bright and can cause a blinding effect. I never have had to use the stun gun part but I do test it every once in a while and it is still strong. I have only had to charge it twice since I bought it over a year ago and it hold a good charge for a long time even after occasional use of the flashlight. I would recommend this because of both the brightness of the light and the length of the charge it holds. I also believe that just by the look of the metal prongs and the LOUD sound of the taser it could deter without actually having to use it. I hope this helps.

On the bottom of the flashlight device is a knob/button that says "ON' / "OFF"...This turns your device all the way off...to include both flashlight and tazer...The sliding button on the top of the flashlight is only a "partial turn-off"...

The pin (attached to the wrist band) will pull out of the bottom. The pin on my stun gun doesn't pull out easily so you'll need to give it a good tug. Removing the pin will NOT disable the flashlight.

Lol,it's best you turn the light off so they don't know it's coming. It won't tase if the light is on.

As with any "Stun weapon" you will need to touch the attacker. this is not a Tazer that fires projectiles that are attached to wires. Yes that is a real electrical arc, not a light show. This is a last line of defense to allow you time to escape from an attacker. A huge piece of mind when your walking alone. My wife and two daughters carry them.

There is a magnetic cut off switch. You can turn the light ON or Strobe, then as soon as you holster it the light turns off. Pull it out and the light turns back on. You must have a holster with the magnet it it.

Thanks for the question. The light and stun are separate functions so when you stun the light is off. It is very quick and easy to toggle between functions and the stun itself is very bright. Hope this answers your question.

Off/Flashlight/Laser and then you hold the Laser button to activate...Go with somthin else..

I had this for long time now but to be honest I did not have the gut to try it on myself or test it on someone. You should know that sometimes when you want to stun, it does not work and needs some more presses to start stunning. It is not effective for self defense and might simply get your butt kicked with ur own stun for it not working at that moment :] the light tho is the strongest I have ever experienced with a flashlight that size. I always carry it in my backpack coz u never know if needed a stun, light, or break a glass with it one day..

The directions advise to charge the device for 5 to 6 hours initially; and then 1 hour once a month to retain the charge. When you plug it in the LED turns red, but mine stays red (even after the 6 hours). The directions state not to overcharge it. Obviously if you use the light or taser function more often, then you most likely would have to charge it more frequently (or possibly longer than an hour). Also, the bright light can still be working and the taser part not fire if it's undercharged. I had this happen (I was walking and a dog was approaching me that seemed like it could bite [fortunately it didn't] but the taser didn't fire even though the light was still working. I thought it must be defective (it wasn't) I recharged the device and the taser works fine. I think that the taser must draw the charge down some (combined with using the light frequently, which I walk late evenings and it gets dark before I get home, so I've been using the light. The light is as bright as most car lights. And no, I would not have actually "tased" the dog at all, just fired in the air (because most all dogs are very frightened by loud sound it makes which is a good deterrent for being bit without causing any harm). The only caveat about "dry firing" the taser in the air is that only do that for a second at a time and then release, because according to the directions you could damage your taser if you fire it for a longer steady hold than one second bursts. Hope that answers your question. I have been very satisfied with this device and the extremely bright light for walking alone has been well worth it. Best of luck!

No. You have to slide the flashlight button down and then press the stun gun button. It's really easy though.

It does have the strobe function, but there is a way around it... You don't have to cycle through all the modes if you don't want to, there is a tactical mode available... With the flashlight off, just press and hold the button for a second or two and the light will come on full bright, when you let go of the button it will turn off. Or, in high mode, press and hold the button for a second or two and then release, the flashlight will go off without having to toggle through the strobe setting. If you press and hold in low mode, the light will turn to high mode, and will shut off when you release the button. It does have the strobe function, but there is a way around it...

Charge for 10+ hours before first use. 2 Hours per month if not used at all to maintain full charge. Switch in the middle = flashlight only. Switch all the way up allows the circle button on handle to activate stun gun discharge. If you're discharging into air, do not hold for more than a 1 second at a time, it may damage the device. Switch at the bottom is the safety on/off; off position will disable everything.

The switch goes from off to flashlight and then stun gun. Additionally you can not activate the stun gun unless the toggle is in the correct position followed by pressing a different button

Yes the flashlight has to be on to shock someone. There's two buttons one you push up for the flashlight and a button to turn on taser the taser will not turn on at all if light button is not in the position (On)
