Perhaps the simplest device you can use for personal security is a flashlight – provided it is reliable. There’s a magnetic flashlight on the market that is intended for emergencies. All you do is to shake the flashlight for a couple of minutes and you will have more than 20 minutes of brilliant LED light.

Another device that incorporates an LED light is the type with a magnetic attachment that you can use at the back of your vehicle to draw attention to potential hazards on the highway.

There are also laser safety lights that are ideal for bikers, joggers and people walking along the road after dark.

Then there are various portable survival kits and kits that will ensure you are prepared in the event of an emergency.

Self defense pepper spray is a popular item and you will find it in various forms when you look for personal security products. The best pepper spray comes in the form of a pepper spray gun, canisters that look like anything from a toy to lipstick or even a cell phone, and a Mace keychain. Most rely on capsaicin, the active ingredient extracted from red hot chilies. However some products, including some Mace products, do contain tear gas. Hot pepper spray will usually make an attacker gasp for breath and cough. It can cause temporary blindness.

Stun guns are very popular when it comes to self defense products. Like pepper spray, they are available in different shapes and sizes. Most rely on contact to deliver an electrical charge (Tasers also deliver projectiles), and the most powerful stun gun will kick in with up to 3-millions volts. That’s enough to stop any assailant in his or her tracks.

Some companies offer ‘value packs’ with a combination of items for your personal protection. Make sure you know exactly what you are getting before you buy these personal security products. You might simply end up with three or four cans of pepper spray!
