Strobe feature on a weapon light?
What have been you're experiences? I like it because if I don't need it, I don't use it. But from the training I've done it's always given me the edge in a confrontation, even in daylight. It's a little bit of controlled chaos I can introduce that an attacker wasn't counting on. They either focus on the light and not on me which gives me an extra second to find the advantage or they close their eyes and try to fight blind which also gives me the edge.
Thoughts?

Don't like them. My gun light is already blinding and the strobe will have an effect on you too.

I would worry that against someone else who is armed, such a thing might cause them to open fire blindly. But every situation is different, and if you're training to incorporate it, you should be able to get a feel for what situations it is and is not appropriate.

against an adversary prepared for it: maybe a fraction of a second's distraction is created. against an untrained or unprepared opponent (almost everyone) you have around 1.45 seconds distraction, more than enough for a decisive edge assuming its ever easier to turn on the strobe than to simply pull The Trigger. i have seen like 3 foot square blocks of multiple LED Lights sold to LE crowds that completely blind an adversary looking in your direction. if you had time to deploy this it would be extremely effective as a defensive device (assuming you know they're really blinded, this seems tricky).
