Tactically working in the dark

"Fundamentals of Low Light" brings light into the tactical application of lamps. This specialist book offers a well-founded, practical overview of the world of flashlights in the context of low light applications. It combines technical know-how with biological fundamentals of vision and tactical concepts for deployment – not only for professional weapon carriers and security-related fields, but certainly also for hunters, those interested in the topic, and sport shooters. The tactical use of light in action and shooting techniques, as well as shooting exercises, are also explained practically.

From lighting technology to ANSI standards to the selection of suitable energy sources, professional readers will learn in "Fundamentals of Low Light" what is important when purchasing and using modern flashlights. The potential dangers of light are also explored extensively – for example, regarding glare, identity exposure, and tactical vulnerability. The selection and targeted purchase of tactical flashlights are addressed based on practical criteria to avoid misjudgments and optimize operational capability. The knowledge is supplemented by a comprehensible introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the human eye under low light conditions, as well as tactical recommendations for safe and effective use of light in demanding situations. The risks of chemical and thermal damage to the eye, along with additional dangers, are presented vividly. Specialized terms related to technology, tactics, and application are also explained in an easily understandable way.

Whether for training, operational preparation, or technical further education – this book is an indispensable companion for everyone who understands light not just as brightness but as a strategic tool. The Bible of the flashlight!
