Event Timeline
i think the flashlight gets stuck when "ON".
Had the same issue with switching Pants.
The Turned On flashlight was not moveable in inventory till turned off.
That wasn't my problem. I could move, drop, turn on/off, but only when I reequipped it did the light go away on the ceiling.
this also happens when a player dies with his flashlight equipped, it will still look like the corpse has the flashlight in his hands (there is a lightbeam coming from his hand) even though you already took the light into your own inventory.
