Optical Dampers CBM does not block "blinding flare" effect from some enemies

Describe the bug

Per the Optical Dampers description: "lenses surgically installed over your eyes can be tinted to block out incoming light", it seems like they should block 100% of incoming light, however I attempted to use them when killing a mil-spec searchlight since they blow up with a blinding flare on death, and noticed that I was still receiving the blinded message/effect even with the optical dampers enabled.

Even though it says "can be tinted", there's no qualification on what level of tint its referring to, and enabling them effectively blinds your character, so I assumed this is a bug.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Obtain Optical Dampers CBM
  2. Enable optical dampers
  3. Kill a searchlight or other enemy that emits the blinding flare
  4. Examine log/status effects

Expected behavior

With Optical Dampers enabled, killing a searchlight or other enemy that emits the blinding flare should result in that status effect being blocked
