As you keep the flashlight out you’ll notice it getting dimmer and dimmer, until eventually, it can go out entirely.
The light will last a good 15 minutes or so, but you’ll want to recharge it every now and again to keep it as bright as possible. Luckily, it’s easy enough to do so.

Just be aware of where you’re using the flashlight and recharging it. Enemies can easily spot your light, alerting their allies and bringing a whole bunch of bullets down on you. Just make sure to flick it on and off whenever you need to, as there’s no limit on using and recharging your flashlight.
