Personally,
I think it may be a saleable product to have a tactical light
and pepper spray built into one. It would need to have a range of at
least 25 feet better to be 50 foot. Of course one could carry it in one
hand and the other would carry a firearm if wanted. If made for home
defense and certified for such then litagation would be less of a problem.
I think it would be a good idea. Any thoughts?

Yeah. I've been through pepper spray proofing. It hurts. You CAN NOT open your eyes.
You're not incapacitated, however. I'm a strong guy. You hit me with pepper spray and adrenalize me, you dont want me to have my bare hands on you. You give an attacker a knife, shotgun, etc. and he's still hyper dangerous in the confines of a room.
Advocating the use of pepper spray over a firearm in a home defense situation is simply silly. You shouldn't let your friend's lawn dart episode color your thinking quite so much.
Perhaps you might be able to sell your "pepper spray over firearms" idea to a police dept. (they have some pretty left leaning admins), but you'll get a lot of cops killed in the process.
I'm not sure where you live, but your concerns with overprosecution are unwarranted in my state. Check the record.
