Zebralight SC600 MK III HI. This light is amazing and given the side switch it would be easy to turn on with gloves. I have one and the beam is perfect the HI emitter will produce a tight spot but also a good spill.

Now that I think about it you might want something bomb proof. Try malkoff devices or elzetta. These are rather expensive lights but are really tough.

Check out a Malkoff MD2 with M61HOT engine....

Malkoff's are very tough lights without bells and whistles. Switch them on and they work.
They honour their Lifetime Warranty and the Malkoffs (Gene and Cathy) themselves answer phone and email.
If life depends on the light, think Malkoff and Elzetta.

question:
is there really any part on personal decision?
--> firefighter, miners, ..., that all is something quite different from us armchair heroes and I wonder if anyone could bring whatever part of equipment they "like" individually.
:thinking:
PS: as for Your cutting through fog part:
cut Yourself a small round label from (black?) adhesive tape and put it onto the middle of the front glass.
The idea is to get rid of the spill light coming directly from the light source and have the directed light from the reflector remaining only
... does not need to be "big", fingernail sized max., something like
disadvantage: at any other use - than cutting through smoke - this spill part is of substantial help
