guy thinks its a good mod when he doesnt even have the mod enabled

@J-Money sounds like you might be playing on something that prevents sv_cheats from enabling or you didn't relaunch the game after enabling the mod o:

when the mod is working fully the flashlight radius is larger then the default radius and items are easier to find up close (as shown in the screenshots)

I like this mod! the flashlight radius is significantly smller, making it look significantly more realistic in first person. Makes it tough to find items in rooms when standing close, but ads to atmosphere IMO
