OK, but I feel like having flashlight dracon beams could also lead to a black comedy running gag where controllers try to turn a light on and wind up shooting each other and getting eaten by Taxxons, and everyone just sighs and shakes their heads.
Oooh, it could be like that thing from The Pink Panther Returns where the one character has a lighter that looks like a pistol and a pistol that looks like a pistol in his desk, and keeps mixing them up so that at one point he tries to kill someone by flicking a light at them and then later blows his own nose off trying to light a cigar.
Between that and all the chaos of shredders and dracon beams having opposite-direction numbering systems (depending on how you read Andalite Chronicles) so that people trained on one are always going to be at risk of misusing the other, aaaaallll the black comedy could ensue. Especially if there was some in-universe justification for human-controllers actually carrying around actual flashlights all the time (maybe to cover for their dracon beams? so they always have a light if someone asks for it?) and then constantly doing accidental murder or ineffectually illuminating their enemies by grabbing the wrong thing.
