If you think GLPs are potentially bad, wait 'til more
people start buying the new 10+ million candle-power
portable flashlights.

I bought one out of necessity to "scan" my backyard before
setting up scope(s), and, for kicks, shined it upwards at a
tree and the shadow of the tree was projected onto clouds
at greater than 5,000 feet elevation. Whoa! These lamps
can be purchased for around US$25 (Costco, et al) and will
definitely blind any pilot(s) should they be shone onto any
aircraft.
