Battery powered flashlights are used as source of light where normal cabled electrical power can not reach or if there is a power outage. To define function of flashlights, these basically convert electrical energy stored as chemical energy in batteries to light and some wasted heat in the lamps.

As semiconductor LEDs are more energy efficient, specially designed bright LEDs are replacing conventional flashlight lamps in most modern flashlights.
