Coming from a long line of ham operators, a faraday box is normal. In some aspects looked at much like a fire extinguisher , in that it's monitored, maintained, occasionally upgraded, and hopefully never used
FoxFury has a light that is being marketed to address the EMP concern.

TacSwan EMPEROR Flashlight

The Emperor EMPR (EMP RESISTANT FLASHLIGHT) is the world's first (and only) EMP resistant flashlight. Unlike other electronics, this hardened flashlight is able to survive an electromagnetic pulse. Can be powered by a single CR123 or 18650 battery.

Would like to open one up, but at the current price, that's unlikely. Appears to be a simple direct drive type of light engine, but can't be sure.

Interesting. From the pictures it looks like there is a fine wire mesh covering the lens, although I couldn't find any reference to this in the product's specs or manual.

Would that be similiar to how a door on a microwave oven works?

FoxFury is based in California, but IIRC the majority of the product line is imported.
It is a interesting design, but hard to tell too much from the website info alone. A few years back I used one hardhat headlight product from FoxFury , It failed in the initial hour of use and left me with a poor first impression of the brand.

No one talks about it all year long until now. How good can it be?

Exactly. The wavelength of the signal is too large to make it through the small holes of the screen.
