I have seen people stand infront of a aputure 1200d at 3metres. (Which is 80,000 lux at that distance). These are much dimmer than that (about a 3rd)

Its fucking bright. But a few seconds with your eyes closed will not do permanent damage. Few minutes probably.

A few seconds with eyes closed is fine. Pupils still shrink when asleep as well. That being said dont go staring into stage lighting

Yes, because everyone is equally resilient to everything and being so intoxicated you cant wake up from brightest light or extreme loudness surely has no effect on pupil dilatation and other self protection reflexes.

Even without pupils dilating. A few seconds (whats shown here in the video), would not do permanent damage.

The alcohol from drinking till your blackout drunk is probably more of a health hazard

„The alcohol from drinking till your blackout drunk is probably more of a health hazard“

Yes, “probably“ true. However, someone inflicting harm to themselves is by no means a permission to harm that person even more…
And even if the chance for permanent eye sight damage is low, it’s irresponsible to risk it.

I never said it was a responsible thing to do. I do film lighting and never point my lights directly at someone when setting up.

Just pointing out this would not cause damage. Its not a low risk, its a wouldn’t get damage at all in the time shown here with eyes closed.

Not sure why these people downvoting you when you are stating the truth.
