Seems like just a variant of Ten-Second Flashlight (but otherwise played straight); there are even lighters in the examples section.

See also Nuclear Candle if during those few seconds of light the whole room is lit up.
Don't know if it has a specific Video Game trope but when a game features a lighter which sole purpose is to illuminate dark areas and not set anything on fire (at least not intentionally) and also lasts only few seconds before it burns you and goes out.
Does it have a specific trope or is it just a played-with example of Ten-Second Flashlight, Infinite Flashlight or something in-between?
