This problem has always perplexed me. I would suspect that the searchlight problem would (in real life) not exist in 39 and perhaps 40, but would be almost universal after. From 1943 on I would be surprised if it ever happened.
As far as being blinded by the light, I suspect that this is 100% accurate.
If you are on the bridge of a ship and have become light adapted, and are hit with a search light, I suspect you wouldn't be able to see anything for quite some time. This is an individual thing, but it takes me about half an hour to become light adapted.
(before image-light amplification, we had to be light adapted to use the fluoroscopy machine so many older physicians are familiar with this problem.)

h.sie, could not the searchlight mod be randomized via SH3CMDR? I haven't looked into this.
