Invented in Germany in 1887, the world's first flashlight consisted of a mixture of magnesium, potassium chlorate and antimony sulphide. when ignited, the "blitzlichpulver" (flashlight powder) burned quickly and brightly, creating a pure white light.

The downside however, was that the dense white smoke released by this reaction was also hazardous to health.
