You know, this is an awful lot of effort where there's no apparent need for 
stealth.  In this situation, one of the keyring-mounted Maglites would be 
better.  They're available in a range of colours, and are endorsed by the major 
law enforcement agencies.
 
(When I rolled a Ford Granada end-over-end into a ploughed field in the middle 
of the night a few years back, it was all the attending police office had to 
help me find my glasses!)
