727's 737's and 744's had detachable Red/White reading lights. I believe they were called Roving lights?
Maybe that was a name we used??
Anyway they were detachable and had a long cord like a telephone cord, they were quite handy to shine on the wipers to look for ice. ( saved pulling out the torch )
New Aircraft don't have them, so now the easiest and quickest thing to use is the iPhone torch
