A:

except for the "that" in the middle. It doesn't make sense because the two phrases seem to be independent from each other.
"For all the time" also doesn't sound quite english
I'd say...
"Now I've seen the light. I've been chasing my own tail all this time"
(instead of the period you can also put ":" if you don't want to completely separate the two phrases.)
I hope that helped you :)

If that's actually what you meant, then the sentence is fine. If the light just makes it harder (but not impossible) for John to fight, then you could say something like "The light beams down on John, interfering with his ability to fight."
