How easily can a bright led flashlight damage your eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not very: Led lights can be dazzling but are not laser. They do not provide a concentrated, focal light but a more diffuse light which the eye can easily handle. It is not comfortable to stare at an led light but not harmful. This of course is not the case with laser light which carries the usual cautions.

Was using bright LED light bulb a few inches from face to do online interviews. (1 hour at a time) As I'm doing it, I feel dizzy at times. It goes away when I turn light off. Can these lights too close to the eyes/face cause this effect?
Could gazing at home led light or ice cold compress on eyes afterwards lead to retina or cornea damage causing blurred vision of bright objects?
How can I get clear, white, bright eyes?
