That depends on the type of zombie. I Am Legend has fever zombies -- the zombie virus is postulated to elevate body temperature, creating a super fast zombie.

Anyway, $1,000 is still a lot of money for something with limited application. For the average civilian, I can think of two situations:

-- Finding wounded, unconscious people in the dark, or perhaps children too scared to cry out.

-- Identifying threatening individuals in a dangerous situation.

In both situation you need stealth for some reason, otherwise you can just use a regular flashlight. Any other uses?
