zseblámpától

The Hungarian word "zseblámpa" translates directly to "pocket lamp" and is the common term for a flashlight. A zseblámpa is a portable, hand-held electric light. Typically, it consists of a light source (usually an incandescent bulb or a light-emitting diode, LED), a power source (batteries), a reflector to direct the light, and a switch to turn it on and off. The casing is designed to be durable and easy to grip.

Zseblámpák are used in a wide variety of situations where ambient light is insufficient. This includes navigating in darkness, performing tasks in low-light conditions, emergency situations like power outages, and recreational activities such as camping or exploring caves. Modern zseblámpák often feature advancements like brighter LEDs, longer battery life, multiple lighting modes (e.g., high beam, low beam, strobe), and water-resistant designs. Their compact size and convenience make them an essential item for many households and individuals. The development of the zseblámpa has significantly contributed to personal safety and utility in low-light environments.
