I want to refer to a special bright (red, blue, or green) light for theatrical plays or shows, which is capable of partially blind a person if pointed directly. Although no permanent effects on vision of the person to whom it is aimed.
It doesn't sound right. An incandescent light radiates in all directions, unless it is confined within some apparatus (like a torch, as ems says). How about calling it a stage light?
