It has a powerful 4 LED light to serve as a flashlight for nighttime safety. It is rechargeable, so no batteries are required. (recharge cord is included). To prevent accidental discharge, two levels of safety are built in: first the switch has to be turned on and then the trigger depressed. It comes with a holster with belt loop for easy carrying. Streetwise stun batons are the highest quality brand available and come with a lifetime warranty.
