Flashlight

The flashlight sign looks like you are holding a flashlight. Your non-dominant hand is the 'holding' arm: you touch your index finger to your thumb to make a circle (like the ASL sign for 'O'), then touch it against the wrist of your dominant hand. Your dominant hand starts as a closed fist then quickly opens with all fingers spread out, to signify the beam of light.
