Context is key....  but some of that stuff does translate.  The classes I took were tailored for HD with possible friendlys(kids wife husbands etc) and scenarios where you wake up in darkness and need to clear your house.

Makes sense. Just be careful with all the light bouncing and flagging yourself by turning on the light too soon.

One of the things they really hammered into us was that the second that light comes on, you better be ready for incoming rounds.

You are kicking in doors of drug dealers and murders fighting in teams.  Others we have family in the house or kids that could be running around (I have no kids) but last thing I want to do is light up and have my lady and have her staring down the barrel of my pistol\rifle and get Oscar Pistorius'ed by me.  The bouncing is so you are not blinding yourself clearing room to room no flagging all rules still apply and maintaining concealment and cover when possible.  Also never exposing yourself in a door way that is a biggy they taught us use your walls.

Conceptual food-for-thought:

Activating a white light, by definition, is not relying on dark-adapted vision.
