True enough.

I am open to new techniques and tactics but anywhere I have trained I was taught that a weapon mounted light was a bullet magnet.

Used properly, it is no more of a bullet magnet than a handheld light. If you can employ a handheld light properly, the weapon-mounted light will not present a challenge.

I am doing a (Pro-Bono) "Low Light" training class in North Carolina for a Police Dept. I will work with a weapon mounted light in our "Low Light Force on Force" session and give you an AAR.

Keep in mind, all weapon-mounted lights are not created equal. Having a light with sufficient power and a switch that is easy to manipulate is key.
If you are interesed in vetting the WML-concept in your course let me know. I have a number of drills I use that not only demonstrate the advantages of a WML, but also tax the shooters' skill with a handheld light.
It usually takes about 30 minutes of range time before everyone is ready to trade their handheld lights in for WMLs. Once you progress to the shoothouse/FOF, everyone begins to appreciate their handheld lights again. When done properly, everyone walks away with a healthy respect for both pieces of equipment.
