Do you want this to happen all the time or at a certain script?
Cause if you want it to happen every time then you can just go in the model editor and make the pointlight of your flashlight/lantern hand model and tick flicker on and there are a few options in the flicker bar that you can mess around with.
Example:

If that's not what you want then what exactly do you want to do?

I'm guessing you want it to be like in Penumbra, where the light flickers when close to run out of batteries?

What about SetLightFlickerActive(string& asLightName, bool abActive); ?
You predefine how it will flicker in the entity, then use EntityName_LightName in the script? I've never tried it so I don't know if it'll work, but it's worth a shot.

Hmm but I think what Dnalange wants is for the hand model to flicker not for the entity?
Not sure if SetLightFlickerActive(string& asLightName, bool abActive); works also with hand models

If you want an effect similar to the AMFP lantern, maybe it's worth noting that the AMFP lantern entity already has flicker enabled.
By the looks of it, it's always on, but probably uses something to freeze it from flickering for the most part.

Hmm you're lucky dnalange cause I have bad news and good news! The good news is I checked the mfp scripts and found this new script
PHP Code:
SetLanternFlickerActive(false);
SetLanternFlickerActive(true);
which does not exist in the original amnesia scripts
The bad news is.... It doesn't come with the mfp patch -_-

I want to activate it by script myself/...
For scareevents.
Like a monster passes by -> i want to activate the flickering.
I have tried a couple of thingy's... but not working yet..
Shoudl we be able to activate the SPOTLIGHT by script.
The spotlight of the lantern\flashlight.
I've seen some guys doing this tho...
But, never explaned how this works..
Maybe Jens\Patrik or anyone can explane if this is even possible.
