I can't find any gifs of the gen 5 version in motion, but Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare on PS1 had an insane lighting system that overlaid several pre-rendered backgrounds at several stages of lighting and showed parts of them based on where your flashlight landed. It looked like it was all done in real time, and would accurately shine past table legs and illuminate objects etc. You can see it throughout this longplay, but 55:30 is a good example if you just want to see it in action. In this shitty low resolution pic I found online you can even see that it simulates the flashlight during attack animations and stuff too.
