rechargeable light

Battery-powered portable lamp

A rechargeable light is a portable lamp or flashlight powered by a battery that can be recharged rather than replaced.

Most use lithium-ion batteries and charge via USB: I keep a rechargeable light by my bed in case the power goes out.

The term distinguishes these from lights requiring disposable batteries.
