Everyone should carry a flashlight, we do, even when traveling on airplanes. Not only can a flashlight help you find exits, illuminate locks for keys, signal for help, but a high powered (high lumens) flashlight can even be a defensive weapon used to blind your attacker and keep his eyes of the prize so to speak.
For a flashlight to be usable as a defensive tool it's light output (measured in lumens) should be around 50 lumens or more. This requires using a DL123 or CR123 Lithium battery. Run time on flashlights using one or more of these batteries, depending upon their lumen output, is around 20 minutes straight. You have an option of these flashlights in bulbs or LED. Generally bulbs are brighter but LED's won't burn out or break like bulbs do, so the hands down choice is a LED flashlight.
The best flashlights are made by Surefire. Well made and in use by hundreds of thousands of military service members, law enforcement professionals and emergency responders, Surefire is the highest name in quality.
We have place several excellent models of Surefire Flashlights below. The higher the lumen power the brighter and more capable it would be to drive off all but the most dedicated of attackers.
