I think that this may need to be narrowed down a bit....
Are you talking about a weapon mounted light? If so, in my opinion, a super bright cornea burning light is not necessary. Weapon mounted lights are solely for identifying a target before engaging it (or not engaging it). You are not supposed to "search" for a target with your weapon light. All of my rifles are equipped with Surefire G2 lights on VTac mounts. They work for me and are quality lights. The price is right too. I have TLR1s lights on my handguns. Again, they work for me and the price is right.
If you are talking about a hand held light to search for people or items than I believe that your original statement is spot on.
Remember, when you are in a situation where you are searching for a bad guy in the dark, night vision (natural not electronic) and the ability to not give away your position are more important than how super bright your light is.
