Cs 1.6 flashlight

Yeah, I've been wondering this question for years. Since I started playing counter-strike, and yet I don't know the answer of it.

How come can some people have those big, wide light around them when they press 'F', but when I click it, it will be a normal spotlight. I've seen only few people with this type of flashlight I got, but I mostly see people with the wide light around them.

Is it a command? Bug? What is it?
I'd like to know, because I feel kinda stupid with the annoying small spotlight one. Does anyone know how to enable this wide light around them?

This "spotlight" flashlight I got, is sometimes very useless, and in games like zombies this type of light is just plain annoying. Need some help here guys :)

as far as i know this light can be used by enabling nightvision on some of those servers where it is supposed to, or enabling with other button, with menu etc etc.

and i guess it is all about server, not your cs 1.6 settings.

ive faced this myself very long time ago and sorted that out myself too, but i cant remind exactly how i did that. tried to ask anybody on the server?

That's how everyone looks with their flashlight turned on.
At least, that's my experience.

it's not really a bug, it's just the way it is. When you're playing, i mean first person, you'll have the regular small spotlight but when you're looking at somebody, for example a teammate using flashlight, you'll see a big wide light around him.
In fact : 1st person : small and "accurate" spotlight
3rd person: big wide spotlight around the player

I'm not 100% sure tho ^^
