All lights have issues with smoke or haze as the particles reflect light back to the user. Most organizations try to use stronger lights to power through the haze. Another option would be to go to a different color light. Your car headlights are pretty powerful, but in dust, smoke, fog, or snow, you see how much their range is reduced.
The L1 is not designed to reach out much further than you noted, and it sounds like you have one of the newer ones with the TIR curved pyrex lens.
You might get a little more range with the L4 or L2, they have 65 lumens and 15/100 lumens respectively while you are currently working with 15 lumens max. The incandescent bulbs all have a hotter center spot and more reach than an equivalent LED. I would recommend that you get a G2 and try it to see if it will do what you want. It is the least expensive alternative that I can think of, and is only slightly larger and heavier.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
