Could you guys help me? I'd like to buy a flashlight for my gun and I've got 2 problems/questions.

1. I don't use front grip (and I won't) so I don't want a remote pressure switch, which leaves me with the classic switch at the end of flashlight. However, I don't like the system, where you have to push it once to turn it on and second time to turn it off. I need it only for quick, short blinking. I don't want to have it turned on for extended period of time and I definitely don't care about strobe effect. So what I am looking for is flashlight with the type of switch you have to hold and when you release it, it will turn off. Some tips? Either a specific product or something that could help.

2. Lumens. I watched plenty of youtube videos but I am still uncertain about this part. Is 100 lm flashlight enough? I won't use it to blind some poor guy, I need it only to make a quick picture of what is few meters in front of me while in the pitch black.
