I have occasionally seen bolts with a dot of thread lock on them. Any
idea what kind of thread lock this is? I need it on a flashlight end
cap and cannot have the normal liquid type as it would destroy the
electrical connection. Thanks.

Under less than extreme circumstances, Teflon pipe tape will do. That is
what I have
used in exactly the same application.

But Teflon does not conduct electricity so the flashlight will not work.

My bad. The answer is simple, you only wrap the top threads; that keeps
the cap on while permitting contact.
