Flashlights are quite common in the [[UNSC]] for combat in lowly-lit environments. As such, many UNSC [[weapons]] have mounted flashlights, or torches, below the barrel. In addition, all known variants of [[MJOLNIR armor]] have a built in flashlight on the helmet. Some [[Covenant]] armors have flashlights as well, such as the special flashlight integrated into the armor of the [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]].

*In ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s are seen not to use flashlights because their helmets' heads-up displays have the [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance]] system built in. This is the first example ever seen of a regular soldier having more advanced tech than a Spartan. The flashlights on the shotgun and the assault rifle remain, and they are still not usable.
