The only good use case I’ve come across is looking at house numbers at night without lighting up the whole house. Generally I’m not a “it’s just fun to see far” kind of person.

And yes, I know there are better performing lights that cost less. I was already making a Wurkkos order and it just fell into my cart.

Narrow beams make for good signalling as long as you have a fixed position at the other place you're signalling. Also assuming the other person or group doesn't have nvgs. In that scenario, you're just targeting each other.

Hm, I think I’m not that tactical most of the time lol. But good to add to the memory banks as a use case.
