I don't consider the armor light an equivalent to duct tape. Duct tape at least attempted to balance things. The light was only available on the shotgun and machine gun, and had a smaller cone of light projected compared to the full size flash light. BFG Edition's flash light added a battery that drains slowly and recharges very quickly. I'm not sure why they bothered with the battery since in practice it's unlimited use.
