The Flashlight - Angle Headed is a military style torch with its head bent at a right angle. It clips to webbing so the light shines ahead with both hands free.
It suits survivors who want light while fighting or working. Clipped to a webbing slot on gear such as the ALICE Belt and Suspenders, it lights the way without taking a hand. That is its main strength. Its cost is a slightly dimmer beam than the plain Flashlight.
It is found in army surplus stores, pawn shop offices, army storage and tackle boxes. An army version shares this page.
Using
The light can be held in either hand like any flashlight. Its special use is the webbing slot. Gear with a webbing slot, such as the ALICE Belt and Suspenders, can carry it there. Pressing F turns the light on and off.
The beam lights the way about fifteen tiles ahead in a cone. That matches the reach of the plain Flashlight. The angle headed beam is a little dimmer.
It runs on a Battery. Insert Battery puts one in, and Remove Battery takes it out. A found light sometimes already holds a battery.
The Flashlight - Heavy Duty reaches much farther and is brighter. It must be held in a hand, though, and it drains a battery faster. For fighting in the dark, the hands-free angle headed light is often the better pick.
The light also serves in the Wooden Lamp Pillar recipe, which builds a Lamp On Pillar. The "Research Craft" option teaches Make Improvised Flashlight and Make Improvised Lantern.
Upkeep
A full battery gives about twenty-eight hours of light. The army version runs very slightly longer on a battery. When the battery runs low, the beam starts to flicker. When it is flat, the battery is used up and the light is kept for a fresh one.
