Chapter 2: Introduction
What is the TASER StrikeLight 2 Stun Flashlight?
The TASER StrikeLight 2 is a ashlight that also can produce an electrical arc and be used as a stun
weapon.
Ownership
Taking a TASER brand ashlight with a stun capacity out of the United States (U.S.) without the proper
export license is prohibited by U.S. law (similar prohibitions may exist in other countries).
Do not point the device at any law enforcement ocer or do anything that would cause law enforcement
ocers to feel threatened by your use of the device.
The StrikeLight 2 stun ashlight is a defensive weapon and should be treated accordingly. When used
as directed, stun devices are weapons designed to provide a force option that may temporarily repel
a person while reducing the likelihood of death or serious injury. The stun function of the StrikeLight2
stun ashlight is not designed to cause incapacitation like some other TASER products. Any use of
force, including the use of a stun device, can cause physical pain or exertion and involves risks that a
person may get hurt or die. For a full list of warnings, see the product warnings.
The stun ashlight’s arcing feature is to be used only for lawful purposes, including lawful self-defense
or in the defense of others. Check your state and local laws for applicable regulations. Depending
on local and state laws, the device may be kept in the house for home protection, or carried in a car,
a purse, or a backpack for personal protection when you are away from home. Be sure to research
each state’s applicable laws prior to possessing or transporting the device, including laws concerning
transporting the device across state lines and into other states where laws may vary. For a list of
known laws related to stun devices and conducted energy weapons, go to buy.taser.com.
Basic Self-Defense Stun Flashlight Electrical Theory
• The front of the stun ashlight must be in contact with the attacker for electricity from the stun
