I remember seeing them too, but never had one myself. I had an upright cylindrical Pifco torch (I think it was an early 1960's seaside bingo prize) that took a lantern battery and had both a swivelable focussed reflector at the front, and a light on the top that could take either a white dome or a red dome. It came with a plain bulb for use with the white dome and a flashing bulb for the red dome. Long since gone after the switch failed. It was the first time I came across bulbs with the screwless prefocussed lamp base (for the front reflector). The top light accepted conventional MES screw base bulbs.
