mini flashlight

Small portable illuminator

A mini flashlight is a small, portable light source designed to fit in a pocket, purse, or on a keychain.

The compact size trades brightness and battery life for convenience: I keep a mini flashlight on my keys for emergencies.

Also called a penlight when especially slim.
