It is quite a difficult thing, right? Without light, it is impossible to identify things. Technology invented tools for every need with which flashlight is one of the development. A flashlight is usually a hand-held portable electric-powered light source. National Flashlight Day celebrates the invention of the first battery-powered flashlights.
