Bright Lights and Blindness

1. What candela intensity is required to blind a person? (I expect thatit's dependent on what the ambient level of light is before the flash,but how much?) I'm sure there's a range. Wikipedia says flash bangshave about one million candela; this one is rated at 6-8 million at 5 feet.
