Stronger flashlights

I had a friend play this game and one of the things they didn't like was the fact that flashlights (whether suit or gun lights) are abysmal.

There are two scenarios when you need lights in the game:
1. Your monitor + environment don't allow you to see in the dark (for example, I can walk anywhere at night-time and see without a flashlight, IF I CLOSE MY BLINDS).
2. The area is pitch black and no matter how high your gamma and how dark your room, it will be dark.

The first case kind of sucks as people playing during the day or with badly calibrated monitors (some genuinely don't allow you to tweak the settings past some arbitrary limit) have a pretty bad experience with the game.
The second case is better as it's more fair to everyone but I think the lights available to the player should still get a buff.

So, buff suit, attachment and handheld lights of all kinds please.
Flares are also pretty weak compared to CM, and unlike CM, they aren't a constant source of light but one that flickers.

I assumed the weak flashlights was intentional so people stick together, no? The flares seemed fine. Just need more tools like being able to repair floodlights or building light fixtures to counter the darkness.
