Flashlight

A flashlight is an item featured in The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II. It can be used by Joel, Ellie and Abby. Some enemies have flashlights mounted on their weapons.
The flashlight is used to illuminate dark areas within a narrow cone.
Most of the infected can't see the light due to their poor eyesight, but other Survivors can, and will be alerted to the player's presence.
 
== Trivia ==
*The flashlight used in The Last of Us is just like the one used by Nathan Drake of the Uncharted series also made by Naughty Dog. However, Joel and Ellie attach their flashlights to the backpack strap on their shoulder whereas Nathan has his attached to his belt.
*It greatly resembles the flashlights that were used by the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam Era, specifically the MX991/U angle-head flashlight, also known as the GI Flashlight. 
*At first the flashlight was shown to recharge by Joel putting new batteries in it using the crafting menu, but as batteries have been removed from the game, the flashlight is temporarily recharged by Joel shaking it by the player shaking the PS3/PS4 controller.
*The playable character has the flashlight by the right shoulder, whereas any AI has it on the left. Ellie also has it on the left when not playable, but it's on the right when she is.
