There is no shame in using a flashlight. Professional Egyptologists use them too in order to focus their lenses when there is not enough light from elsewhere to focus, either manually or with autofocus. I remember a time working in the tomb of Seti I, when all the lights went out because the power on the West Bank went down. Everybody, including the tourists, dutifully pulled out their flashlights and went about visiting the tomb without interruption. Now if you actually mean using a camera "flash", I can tell you as a professional archaeologist working in the tombs that it is a myth that any flash damages the paint pigment. It does not! The accumulation of thousands of flashes might have some effect, but even that is so minimal to make it unimportant. Professional conservators know this. However, if everyone were to use camera flash in the tombs, it would make a poor visiting experience for most tourists, and that is what the Egyptian government is concerned about.

The goddess on the right is Neith. From left to right, the figures in the scene are identified in the inscription as: Horus the Son of Isis (Harsiese), King Menpehtyre Ramses I, Atum-Lord of the 2 Lands and of Heliopolis, and Neith the Great, Mother of God and Lady of Heaven. She says to the king, "To you I have given the throne of Osiris, that you might be satisfied with it forever."
