Flashlights: Incandescent vs led

I have been carrying a SF L1 lumamax. I have become a fan of led lighting, power and bulbs work reliably over time. I have begun to notice that in certain situations the light becomes diffused. Outside with sodium street lights, the L1 washes out at about 10-15 yards. Introduce smoke and the light doesn't cut through as I would like.

Are there hand held led options that are roughly the same size that can work in a smoke filled environment? Should I be considering incandescent options?

My applications are civilian. Your input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
