フラッシュライト

ふらっしゅらいと

tool
1. flashlight; torch
A handheld battery-powered light. Used in everyday Japanese to refer to small, often high-power LED lights, particularly outdoor or tactical models.
停電(ていでん)フラッシュライトつけた
I turned on the flashlight during the power outage.
I take a small flashlight when I go camping.
Recent flashlights use LEDs and are very bright.
