handlamp
Battery-powered torch
A handlamp is a portable lamp designed to be carried by hand, typically battery-powered with a handle for grip.
The term appears in industrial, railway, and maritime contexts where workers need mobile lighting: The inspector carried a handlamp into the tunnel.
In everyday use, flashlight or torch (British) are more common.
