At 4:30 am it's hard enough to see the walkers and dog walkers dressed in dark colors anyway.
Something they taught us in the military is that at night, if there is a bright light, close one of your eyes. Then when the light is gone, you can open it back up and still have night vision in one eye.
It takes some getting used to and it isn't perfect, but it is better than being blinded for a minute while your eyes readjust.
