Mike, the standard we used (albeit subjective) was that if we were blinded by the flashlight while standing behind the drive teams, we spoke to the 'offending' team. Universally they were willing to come up with a reasonable solution.

Don, I understand the logic, but I don't want a team to use the flashlight all through qualification and then have an opposing team in the QFs suddenly tell the Head ref or LRI that the light is blinding and now the team has no time to develop a remedy and must play their next match without the light. This hardly seems fair. Unless we have an established metric of where we draw the line I don't see a way to avoid this situation.

Or we have inspectors standing behind the glass all weekend trying to get blinded and have them make the call. I don't want to volunteer my eyes for this.
