Honestly bright light in the face is pretty fantastic nonlethal self-defense. Most people just can't push through a bright light in the face for some reason, you just do the full-body flinch and are stuck there. Gives you a bit of time to get to your pepper spray or baton or Grenade Launcher or whatever you use
I have a tiny 4k lumen flashlight with a "defense strobe" mode. Just max brightness really disorienting. I could totally see it working
Mine is like 800 lumens and has a blink mode that I have to cycle through to turn off. Even that is annoying AF.
