The first flashlight was invented by the English inventor David Misell in 1899.
The flashlight had 3 xD batteries that were placed in a tube that acted as the device’s handle.
The batteries powered a small incandescent light bulb and a simple contact switch that turned the light on and off.
A flashlight or torch (UK, Australia) is a portable hand-held electric lamp.
Previously, the light source was usually a miniature incandescent light bulb, but since the mid-2000s they have been replaced by LEDs.

Television fluoroscopy became usable only after RCA introduced the “Image Orthicon” 5820 pickup tube in 1945, which added an image multiplier and greatly increased its sensitivity to low light levels. Titled “IO”) was described as “capable of shooting even by candlelight”. It cost about $1,500 at the time and had a lifespan of only 400-600 hours, peaking at about 300-400 hours. Image Orthicon tubes, manufactured by General Electric and the British Electric Valve Company respectively, probably date back to the fifties and early sixties. The photomultiplier section is visible near the base in the GE tube and is hidden in the black part of the English Electric tube.
