Flashlights are often shown in video games to illuminate only a small circular area and leave the rest completely dark, but in reality turning on a flashlight even in a pitch black room will light up a sizable area around the light source. Do we have a trope for this?
This notably occurs in horror games, like Left 4 Dead and the Grudge.
