unflashed
Light stayed off
Unflashed describes something that has not been exposed to a flash or sudden burst of light.
In photography, an unflashed shot uses available light rather than flash photography.
In manufacturing, unflashed glass or metal hasn't undergone a flashing process—a technique that applies a thin coating or finish.
The word appears rarely outside technical contexts.
