Aircraft Aluminum, 85 Million Volts, Fits in a Jacket Pocket
The BashLite is built around a simple premise: a stun gun that’s too bulky to carry daily isn’t protecting anyone. At 5.82 inches long and under an inch in diameter, it fits in a jacket pocket, a side door pocket in a car, or held in hand without announcing itself. The aircraft-grade aluminum body is what allows that slim profile without sacrificing durability — it handles drops and impact in a way that plastic frames don’t.
The 4.7-milliamp output is the relevant number for stun effectiveness — milliamps measure actual current delivered, not just voltage rating. The BashLite delivers both in a package small enough to actually be on your person when you need it.
Who the BashLite Is For
The BashLite suits people who want a stun gun they’ll actually carry rather than one that stays in a drawer. Its profile is close enough to a compact flashlight that it doesn’t draw attention, and the 120-lumen LED makes it genuinely useful on a daily basis — not just in an emergency. Using the flashlight regularly means the stun gun is in your hand more often, not stored and forgotten.
It’s practical for commuters, delivery drivers, night shift workers, and anyone who spends time alone in parking lots, stairwells, or poorly lit areas. The wrist strap lanyard keeps it secured during use. The nylon holster gives it a home on a belt or in a bag without rattling around loose.
If you need something with longer reach, a stun baton would be the next step up. The BashLite is optimized for compact carry, not extended range — it works at contact distance.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the BashLite if you want:
- A compact, pocketable stun gun built from durable aircraft aluminum
- A functional 120-lumen flashlight integrated into the same unit
- High milliamp output (4.7 mA) in a slim, low-profile form factor
- Rechargeable power with a lifetime warranty backing the unit
Consider something else if you need:
- Extended reach — a stun baton provides distance advantage the BashLite doesn’t
- Ranged defense — pepper spray or a TASER covers distance; the BashLite is contact-only
How It’s Built and Why the Materials Matter
Aircraft-grade aluminum is the same material used in aerospace components — lightweight relative to its strength, and resistant to deformation under impact. In a stun gun, that means the body won’t crack or flex when you grip it hard, and it survives the kind of drops that happen in real use. The slim 1-inch diameter is achievable because aluminum doesn’t need the wall thickness that plastic does to maintain structural integrity.
The 120-lumen output is enough to illuminate a parking lot or a stairwell clearly, and pointed directly at someone’s eyes at close range it causes temporary disorientation — useful for creating reaction time. The flashlight and stun functions operate independently via the on/off safety switch, which prevents the stun from activating accidentally when you only want the light.
The rechargeable Ni-CD battery charges via the included cord, eliminating the ongoing cost of disposable batteries. The wrist strap lanyard keeps the unit from being knocked out of your hand, and the included nylon holster provides a carry option that doesn’t require a pocket.

Practical Details
The BashLite measures 5.82″ x 1″ and weighs 0.55 lbs. Construction is aircraft-grade aluminum with a nylon holster included. The rechargeable Ni-CD battery charges via the included cord. Output is 85,000,000 volts at 4.7 milliamps. The safety is an on/off switch. The flashlight runs at 120 lumens. Also included: wrist strap lanyard. Safety Technology backs the BashLite with a lifetime warranty.
The BashLite is a stun gun you’ll actually have with you — compact enough to pocket, useful enough as a flashlight to carry daily, and built from materials that hold up to regular use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between voltage and milliamps, and which matters more?
Voltage drives current through resistance — in this case, clothing and skin. Milliamps measure the actual current delivered to the target. Both matter, but milliamps are the more direct indicator of stopping effectiveness. The BashLite’s 4.7 milliamp output is on the higher end for compact stun guns. High voltage with low milliamps produces a painful but less disabling effect; the combination of both is what makes the unit effective at stopping a physical threat quickly.
How do I charge the BashLite?
The included charging cord connects to the unit and plugs into a standard outlet. Ni-CD batteries charge fully in a few hours and should be fully discharged before recharging to maintain battery capacity over time — this is standard practice for nickel-cadmium chemistry. Charging monthly is a reasonable maintenance schedule if the unit isn’t used regularly. Test the stun function briefly after each charge to confirm the battery is holding.
Can I use the flashlight without activating the stun function?
Yes — the on/off safety switch controls stun activation independently from the flashlight. You can run the 120-lumen LED for everyday use without any risk of the stun function engaging. This is intentional design: it makes the BashLite practical as a daily flashlight, which means it’s in your hand more often rather than sitting uncharged in a drawer.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
Safety Technology’s lifetime warranty covers manufacturer defects in the BashLite unit. It does not cover damage from misuse, drops, or unauthorized modifications. If the unit fails under normal use conditions, contact Safety Technology for warranty service. The lifetime coverage is meaningful for a rechargeable unit — it’s designed to be a long-term tool, and the warranty reflects that.
