BLUF:
Our White Light courses concentrate on the use of visible spectrum light sources (aka, “tactical lights”, “flashlights”, etc.). Visible spectrum light sources have the advantage of being readily available, relatively inexpensive, and easy to utilize in tactical scenarios. The downsides are that their use gives away your position immediately to your opposition (even if they have no specialized equipment).
