If an incandescent bulb, too bad most of his power

Very true!

However, if the flashlight was one of the new
LED models, its DC-power-to-usable-EM-output)
conversion efficiency could be very good.

The transmitting efficiency
(DC-power-to-usable-EM-output)
of the typical VHF FM voice radio is typically
no better than about 50%.
