A flare can be anything that provides light. Traditionally kerosene flares were the norm, then electric and nowadays there are many options including permanent solar. Dunny rolls are are just another way of making a flare with readily available resources at short notice. Normal landing, just old school.
Car headlight light landings are mercy flights as there is no reg to cover this which is why we are specifically trained and checked with car headlights.
Compressor Stall's use of 4 flares and reflectors is the minimum specified in the regs which would be less than a whole runway lit with dunny rolls.
