The eyes of nocturnal animals are likely to be more sensitive than those
of humans. Although you are unlikely to be as close to the animals as
you might be to humans, shining the light into the animals' eyes would
be inadvisable. If it did not cause the animals long-term problems, it
might still affect their vision for long enough to endanger them on the
night.

I recently acquired a LED Lenser 14 flashlight to supplement by spotlighting
gear, thinking to use it essentially as a camping torch, and was surprised
at how powerful the beam is. The range and brightness of the beam rivals my
battery spotlight. I was wondering if anyone has experience with these Led
Lensers with spotlighting. It's a very white light and the instructions
include grave warnings about shining it into the eyes of people, so I was
wondering if there was any reason to think the light might damage the eyes
of nocturnal critters. Also, I'm not sure if the light will reflect eyeshine
as well as the standard gear. Any suggestions?
