That is why UTG just introduced its brand new Everyday Defense L-Light. This compact 400 lumen powerhouse is designed to adapt to any scenario and situation that you might encounter.

Once the desired brightness is selected you will be able to retain your setting with the light’s memory function. A quick double tap of the rear button will activate the full power 400 lumen strobe. The top button works like a master switch that functions as a momentary or constant on/off switch for the full power 400 lumen as well.
