For the battery-operated portable light, "flashlight" is the predominant usage in North American English; "torch" is primarily British. Throughout the English-speaking world, "torch" also means a stick with burning fuel at the tip, and it has a specialized meaning for the lit baton that is passed from runner to runner during pre-Olympics propaganda.
