511 Tactical Defender Flex Review

For those who love the idea of a tactical flashlight that mounts on the wall of their vehicle, there is the 511 Tactical Defender Flex. It's a hard-shell, waterproof, lithium-ion flashlight that can work as a personal security device, emergency locator beacon, or simply a personal flashlight for long-distance driving.

One of the more unique features of these tactical flashlights is the ability to operate two batteries at the same time in cases where you have lost your primary battery. In most cases, it will function just fine with only one battery. However, if you find yourself stranded in the dark and your battery dies, you can switch to another battery or use the secondary battery that is included with the unit.

Auto-focus is provided by two xenon headlights, which come in a choice of high beam or low beam. Because the rear light bulbs are placed to the left of the driver, you'll get the full benefit of either beam. Both the high and low beams provide maximum illumination. This feature can be helpful in distracting or blinding an attacker when you're trying to get away.

The sides of the unit are made from weather-resistant plastic, which helps to keep it protected from road salt and rain, as well as ensure it's durable enough to withstand an attack from the elements. While most models are made with shatter-resistant lenses, the Defender Flex offers tempered glass lenses to protect the front lens from impact.

Some people prefer to use these types of tactical flashlights to identify themselves while driving to an event or meeting. Others are looking for a way to make themselves known to a fellow motorist without having to shout a message. Whatever the reason may be, this device does what it's intended to do.

The internal flashlights are handy for locating other motorists and for emergency use as well. To activate them, a user must flick the switch from on to off. This switch has a safety lock that prevents accidental operation.

The Defender Flex comes with three soft rubber bands for the different surfaces, it can be mounted on. They are available in Black, Flat Dark Earth, and Limestone. One band is secured to the center of the device, while the other two are secured to the sides.

For those who want the most versatile device possible, the flexible model is the perfect choice. The soft rubber bands allow it to be used on nearly any surface, including concrete, wood, and metal.

The flexible version allows for ease of use as well. Since the flexible rubber can easily be rotated, it makes it easy to mount and remove the device, whether for emergency use or just to take it with you when you're traveling.

Many of the units for tactical flashlights come with a rechargeable battery. Most models will hold a charge for about five hours before having to be recharged. Because of the shape of the battery and the usage of the built-in lights, it's recommended to fully charge the battery prior to using it.

In order to make sure that your device provides the best vehicle protection, it's important to make sure that it is well-installed and securely mounted. It is also necessary to make sure that you have a secure mounting location. If you've purchased one that is not installed properly, the unit may become loose over time and possibly be damaged.

There are many different tactical flashlights available today. But the 511 Tactical Defender Flex is the most popular among consumers because of its affordability, durability, portability, and overall quality.
