Flare (Fallout)

The flare is a thrown weapon in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics
Flares can come in handy in low-light situations. If you throw one, any targets standing in the vicinity of the flare are treated as if in daylight, making them a lot easier to hit with ranged attacks if darkness is causing a penalty to your accuracy.

Making aimed shots at the eyes of enemies in power armor can blind or even kill them instantaneously, making the flare a cheap and deadly weapon for 1 AP cost. Also, they can be sold for 35 Bottle caps in Fallout which can be quite helpful early on for players who have a low money count, but they are worth more when lit.
