Can the alien see the light on items?

If I'm holding an item with a light on it will the alien see it?

Better safe than missing your face.

I am not sure what item you are talking about. I would suggest switching to something else just to be safe. The motion tracker has more of a danger of the alien hearing it. But I am sure the flashlight can get you busted so I can't be too sure. Only advice I can give is just switch to a different item or test it out and see what happens.

It can see the fire off of Molotov cocktails, and the flashlight. It may be able to see the flamethrower when it's raised, I don't know. As far as other items, I don't know.

I would say it cannot see the light emitted by EMP-Leds, Flashbangs-Leds or Molotovs.

One situation while playing on easy I was sitting trapped in a blind sidecorridor while the Alien walked by. I had raised the Molotov, ready to throw. The light of the fire was reflecting on the walls around but the Alien was not attracted by this.

This is not a 100% proof I am correct, but it seems not to have the effect or range of the flashlight.

No, it can't see the light emited by the flashlight. He's blind and your most deadly enemy is noise. For example he will detect fire of flamethrower and flares because fire itselft produces noise.

He also may detect when you "flicker" (turn on/off) the flashlight, but if you have it on all the time - you're golden :)
