A compact, battery-powered LED torch that clips to the Pioneer's wrist and casts a wide-angle cone of light. Essential in the game's many dark caves, shadowed wrecks, and deep biomes where ambient bioluminescence alone won't cut it. Powered by a standard Basic Battery; upgrade to an Advanced Battery for dramatically longer runtime. The Wakemaker's built-in torch is a secondary option, but the Flashlight frees up your tool hand.

Notes
Effect: Wide-angle LED light cone; eliminates the darkness penalty in caves and deep water.
Tips:
- Craft this before venturing into the Lifepod cave — the Acid Raion's Acidic Raion Pouch is much easier to spot.
- Swap in an [advanced-battery] to extend battery life significantly on long dives.
- The [wakemaker] has a built-in torch but it activates only while in motion — Flashlight is better for stationary scanning.
- Mid-game, the Bioluminescence biomod (unlocked by bioscanning Sandspear + Electric Geordie) can replace the Flashlight for ambient cave navigation.
