Torchlight
Torchlight is the light cast by a torch—whether the traditional flame-on-a-stick or a British flashlight.
The word evokes dim, flickering illumination in dark spaces: They explored the cave by torchlight.
It suggests atmosphere more than brightness, carrying connotations of adventure, antiquity, or makeshift conditions.
