Jannie was a 29 year old single mother of 2 daughters. She was living in a nice brownstone in a decent neighborhood of New York City. Her and her family were sleeping when she heard some rustling downstairs. She quietly got out of bed and checked her girls’ rooms and saw them sound asleep. She then grabbed the first thing she saw which was her taclite flashlight that her brother had gotten for her after her divorce.
Jannie slowly took two steps downstairs and saw two men in her kitchen. Jannie began shivering with fear. She was about to call 911 but then she realized that they might hear her. Initially, she didn’t know what to do but then she thought about her two little girls and the momma bear instincts kicked in. She held her taclite firmly in her hands slowly went downstairs, turned the flashlight on strobe mode and screamed: “I’ve called the police now get the f*** outta my house!”. They were shocked and temporarily blinded by the light but managed to run out the front door.
She called the police and her brother and everything turned out okay. For all we know the taclite flashlight saved her life.
Evatac Flashlight Battery Size
The EvaTac q5 flashlight takes a single AA battery. The construction of the light makes it so it’s not obvious and there’s no markings to indicate the battery size but yes it just needs a simple AA battery. I use Duracell and I haven’t needed to replace it for a year. Of course how long the battery lasts depends on your usage.
Let There be Light!
Let there be light! We’ve all heard that saying and these days with violent crime going up it couldn’t be truer! If you want to protect yourself the best way to do it is to eliminate the element of surprise and we all know that darkness is a wrongdoer’s best friend. The problem in the past was that flashlights of any real usefulness tended to be big and bulky and those small compact ones were a complete waste of space.
Size Doesn’t Matter Anymore!
Thanks to LED technology scientists have been able to pack a big punch into a small package. The EvaTac Q5 Taclite Flashlight has approximately 500 lumens in a light-weight small package that could fit in anyone’s hand.
Trust me when I tell you this isn’t something you’d want shined in your face! I really thought maybe this was a scam when I saw it available for free just pay shipping but I decided to get it anyway since I figured I didn’t have much to lose.

What are the uses of a tactical flashlight?
A tactical flashlight of course has the same uses as any flashlight but beyond that a tactical flashlight has many additional uses including to blind an assailant (bright immediate light shined into the eyes), wound an assailant (with the serrated edges), break glass for whatever reason (they are strong and have sharp edges), search for perpetrators escaping in darkness.

Overall Conclusion
Overall the Q5 Tac Lite Flashlight worked much better than my expectations seeing as all I had to pay was for shipping. Honestly, I was expecting some POS product that would break quickly after having it but after having had mine for a year it still works and I’ve only had to replace the battery once! For that reason I do recommend this product for a camper, traveler, or anyone needing an inexpensive yet highly effective source of light! I actually gave mine to my mother and will be ordering another one for myself today.
