I was one of the very first actually certified agitators out there and worked extensively with our dog guys, so I was always utilized extensively on K9 search teams. It changes your perspective a lot on light selection and use as you not only burn through a bunch of lights, but you are constantly moving into a variety of scenarios from indoor searches, to outdoors, to small out buildings and vehicles. It was why I was very heavily invested in the 12 Volt incandescent systems (both handheld and weapon mounted) when they came out as they were very helpful on K9 and other long searches in darkness.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

Here is how I reload with a Flash Light...
Okay the pics are like 10 years old...
But notice that even without the grey hair -- I knew that a WML was a better idea than a handheld when working with a weapon.
IDPA should get off the fagatron no WML agenda.

Good agitators are the unsung heroes of K9. And I'm always glad to have experienced cover guys too!
I try to search outside as much as I can in low light without using a flashlight but you always need them. Especially when there's no moon.

Which puts them a decade ahead of the current rule set.
(Sorry, cclaxton, that was a low jab at the sport. It's just that the current rule set makes it more like the Nineties version of Zoot Shooters, rather than Real Street™ like it markets itself to be.)

That is a fair criticism, and one in which I agree. Maybe you have heard this saying before: Change is not a process for the impatient. Barbara Reinhold.
But sometimes the "tried and true" ways are worth knowing.
