Flashlight

The flashlight is a type of light source item that can be found in containers. It can be bought at the Pre-Run Shop, and also has a 66% chance to be sold in the Jeff Shop in The Hotel and The Mines.
== Usage==
When equipped, the flashlight can be an excellent source of light while also actively draining its batteries. Draining it completely will render it useless until the player obtains more batteries. It can be switched on and off in order to save its energy.
===Notes===
*Flashlights can spawn as early as Door 2 and door 101 in normal gameplay, and as early as The Reception in Super Hard Mode.
*Holding out and using a light source (including flashlights) reduces the chance of Screech spawning.
**Therefore, it is strongly recommended that flashlights and other light sources are only used in dark rooms.
**This does not work on the "I'm Everywhere" modifier, as Screech can spawn in any room when this modifier is enabled.
*Each battery used to charge a flashlight grants it 60 seconds of usability; a flashlight with a full charge can be turned on for 2 continuous minutes before being depleted. 
**Each battery recharges 50% of a flashlight's power, meaning that a flashlight needs two batteries to be fully charged.
**If the flashlight has over 100% charge, the power may fill 10% over the original constraint.
*A flashlight will remain in a player's inventory even if its charge has been fully drained. Effectively, it will be "unusable" until the player uses batteries to charge it.
*Should all players have a light source, flashlights will stop spawning.
*Similar to the lighter, a flashlight can be swapped for another flashlight with a higher charge.
== Pros and Cons==
===Pros===
*Long range directional and pretty bright light.
*Decent fuel time of 2 minutes maximum.
*Batteries can add up extra 1 minute of fuel time. (2/4 bar)
*Available on both Pre-Run and Jeff Shop.
* Can stun Giggles and slow down Grumbles.
*It is not removed from the inventory when the fuel runs out.
*Does not cause a Firedamp leak explosion.
===Cons===
*Causes Gloombats to attack when left on.
*Being wet makes the Flashlight malfunction.
* Can randomly flicker and turn off by itself, causing Figure to hear it.
*Rarely spawns on any containers in The Hotel.
*Somewhat more expensive on The Mines' Pre-Run shop and both Pre-Run shop only starts with 50% battery.
== Trivia == 
*When a flashlight is turned on with \frac {1}{3} charge or less, it momentarily flickers to indicate the low power. 
**Further, when it is turned on with \frac {1}{8} power or less, it fails to light up at first, causing the player to hit it in order for it to light.
*After the The Hunt update, the flashlight was given revamped animations when used, along with a new model, however the duration was reduced from 3 minutes to 2 minutes and the light was changed to be dimmer.
**However, when using the SUPER HARD MODE or HOTEL- modifier, it still uses the old model and animations because it's an older version of the game.
**Compared to the old and new model, The new model's power button moves to indicate if it is turned on and off.
**Flashlight still uses the old texture in the rift for unknown reasons
*When the flashlight dies, the light abruptly shuts off, causing the player to hit the flashlight two times, with the flashlight failing to turn on.
*If the player makes it to the end of the game while still having their flashlight in hand and it still having charge left, they can still freely turn the flashlight on and off during the game's final cutscene.
*In the past, if a player held a flashlight and charged it with a battery, a message above their hotbar would say "You used the battery to charge your Flashlight". This was removed after the Hotel+ update. In the current game, a visual representation of the flashlight will appear when charging a flashlight and display the battery increasing its charge.
* The *flashlight* is the only item purchasable both in The Hotel, and The Mines Pre-Run-Shop
* The flashlight is one of the rarest items to spawn in-game.
* The flashlight is the only item that costs gold in the Jeff Shop.
*When the flashlight is at 1/4 bar its fuel bar will flicker from white to red repeatedly.
*After The Hunt Update, the Flashlight has less durability, from 3 minutes to 2 minutes and is also dimmer. However it is now charged more by battery's, and it has a different animation.
*If the player attempts to turn on a Flashlight during or after being underwater, it will not turn on.
*There is an extremely rare chance that you find a normal flashlight in the Rooms, laying on the ground.
*RediblesQW confirmed that they will be adding more uses for the Flashlight. https://discord.com/channels/458441314023899159/1006982064458960916/1110152485491965994
*As of the Content Update, turning on the Flashlight when it is on ~1% Durability and getting lucky enough for it to flicker will cause it to permanently turn on and not deplete until it is turned off, even when a Battery is used.
