Baseball-Inspired Illuminators

The Self Defense 200 Baseball Flashlight is for Scared Nightwalkers

— March 13, 2013 — Tech
Sometimes when a person is bombarded with paranoia it's hard to keep their head straight -- let alone grab a flashlight -- so, a self-defense flashlight would be a favorable tool when out in the dark.

The 'Self Defense 200 Lumen Baseball Bat/Flashlight' is marketed as a tool that "provides self defense against a threat or physical assault." The flashlight is corrosion-resistant and has an anodized aluminum bat frame for added bludgeoning force. The flashlight is also described as being able to blind would-be assailants and could also be used for a quick getaway. Whether you simply need a source of illumination or something handy to protect yourself with, this baseball-shaped device is fully equipped to handle both of those needs.
