flashlight beam
Handheld light projection
The beam of light produced by a flashlight—a concentrated cone or cylinder of illumination that cuts through darkness.
The term emphasizes the light itself rather than the device: A flashlight beam swept across the yard.
Often shortened to just beam when context is clear.
