and yes a flash light is enough for the plants to be interrupted of there sleep
It's easier to pick up a green lens for your flashlight then it is a green bulb. Also, you might want to look into LED flashlights. They came in all colors for commercial work. And green LEDs are available at any electronics supply store, so you could possibly switch out LEDs in a light of a different color.

Hmmmmm. In my experience...Light leaks and such dont cause herms...Bad breeding and poor genetics are where all of my herms have come from
..If we can leave the lights on for a coupple of extra hours without triggering bloom or a herm, I doubt a flash light will hurt..they never have done anything to my plants..indoor or out. Ive even slipped up in my lights or the timer shit on me and the lights went 24/0 in the middle of bloom. Nothing ever happened....
I disagree, A flashlight isn't enough to wake them up...especially if its being moved allover the place, like a headlamp...The moon doesent trigger em, and she is quite bright...

last year this was not true not one seed did i get and the security light were on and off all the time and i was checking them for bugs at night with torch (backyard grow)
may be genetics (bubblegum and ruderalis indica) but i reckon its because the plants were used to it considering it happened every night from start to finish

Come on people, think about this for a minute. A flash going off is not nearly as bright as a nearby nighttime flash of lightning.
How about a cloudless night with a full moon, that's pretty bright.
Short, intermittent bright light will have no effect. A small amount of continuous light will have no effect.
It takes significant, sustained long term light to force a plant to herm. If a little bit of light was all it took, everyone here would be growing hermies as I am sure everyone of us at one point or another has leaked light into flowering room.
