Use it on a friend who is armed with an inexpensive Airsoft pistol (you should be wearing the necessary protective gear) and see if it works. Have the friend (wearing protective gear also) deploy the light against you and see what you think.
I'm not a big fan of using, or more correctly over using flashlights. If it will take out your opponents night vision it may well do the same to you. Handy pieces of equipment, but I think their use is over emphasized today.
Back before lights became as bright as they are today, one technique I was taught was aim low and left (most folks used to use the high and to their left hold to keep the light from being in front of their body in case your adversary fired at the light.
With weapons mounted lights (I won't use them) being common today, I'd likely fire directly at the right. Pretty good odds of hitting at least a hand or arm, and darned good odds of hitting the torso or head. Heck, even techniques such as the Harris method, shooting at the light was a pretty good idea.
My bed gun (SIG SP2022) has a Streamlight TLR-2S mounted - don't know if I would use the strobe (but have no problems with doing so). I've gone through the house with it, and it doesn't bother me.
I remember seeing one of Tom Gresham's videos where a strobe light was demonstrated - the person on the receiving end loses all depth perception - you can't tell if they are coming at you, away from you, or standing still. The instructor walked up to Tom and shoved him in the chest - Tom had no idea he had closed the gap between them (whatever good that may do you - maybe to retreat?).
Just another tool in the toolbox AFA I'm concerned - you have to make a conscious effort to turn on the strobe function, which I like.
I guess my experience is a little different. After having been on the wrong end of a skilled user of a strobing handheld during an indoor force on force class, I promptly purchased one and began working with it. The general consensus of folks in that class was that the strobe offered some advantages over the non-strobing light when used correctly.
i would test it. no weapons. run it in the dark of night. how much does it upset your vision?
i would not use it anywhere near your own bedroom. but maybe downstairs, in the kitchen, or the hallway. somewhere where an intruder gets messed up and you do not. maybe rig up a remote switch.
