Flashlight fish is a good one like you said, in face I'm actually doing a build for some right now! Here's the thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/lights-in-the-night-nwfks-125g-flashlight-fish-build.840590/
As for others, Pinecone fish are a good shout, as well as Cherry Anthias. Other than that, all the others are usually in public Aquariums and are the only of their kind of display, or just extremely hard to find. I know some shops in Busan, South Korea get some funky deepwater stuff sometimes

cool! Can a flashlight fish live in a reef tank with lots of lighting?

Unfortunately no, the light stresses them out a lot. Even if you build caves or places they can hide to avoid the light, Reef Tank / Tropical temperatures are too hot for them since they like it around 71°-75°F depending on the species
