I've had a Jetbeam BC 10 in my left front pocket for the last 3 years. Bought it on a recommendation from someone here on the forum. (Must have been beauxdog from the looks of it) It gets hot and is hard on batteries, but I'll wait until it dies before I upgrade.
I've done only a little night work as part of a VATA class and the light held its own. Truth is that I carry it as it comes in handy looking for things in dark spots, walking back from the deer stand, etc., more than I ever expect to utilize it in a fight. Same for the Kershaw Leek in the opposite side pocket. Not a fighting knife, but like the light I hardly know it's there...
You should upgrade. Newer light tech is WAY better than old tech.

Check out that package on Amazon.
But you also have to be careful with the really bright lights in a house. If you've ever turned the corner and been facing a mirror of some sort, like in the back of a china cabinet, you may want to make sure you have a good balance of wide pattern and brightness.
Definitely a consideration, but realistically if done properly it should not be a concern. Shining directly into a mirror will blind you with any quality light, so that's where training helps.
800 lumen WML and 1000 lumen Handheld Light.
No need to worry about China cabinets either.
