The exact correlation of dB is not liner.
Table 3
Decibel (dB) basics
Change in dB Change in sound energy
3 dB increase Sound energy doubled
3 dB decrease Sound energy halved
10 dB increase Sound energy increased by factor of 10
10 dB decrease Sound energy decreased by factor of 10
20 dB increase Sound energy increased by factor of 100
20 dB decrease Sound energy decreased by factor of 100
A pistol round inside of a house pretty much put my hearing out to lunch for two days and this was only one shot. At least with multiple shots you can use sight instead with a light. Your hearing, without hearing protection inside a room will bet pretty much "shot".
I would be inclined to have a strobe light instead of a flashlight if it had an easily manageable on-off button so I could turn it on only upon a face to face meeting.
