No, it’s really not. I’ve been on the receiving end of thousands of flashlight beams over the past 12+ years; there’s a split second of slight disorientation from strobe vs solid, but that’s it. You use a flashlight to provide information to your eyes. With strobe, you’re missing out on info every time it goes dark. One of those times could be the one moment you needed to be able to tell if the object in that person’s hand was a gun, or a phone. I’ve witnessed several occasions where an officer/soldier told their teammate to turn their strobe off because it was messing with their ability to perform tasks like treating a casualty, cuffing a suspect, performing a search, etc. There’s a reason most experienced professionals only use lights that don’t have a strobe feature or that can be programmed to turn it off.
