I don't think you can destroy an object with a light. But I don't think you need to anyway... Try ray casting!

Ray casting it is! The length of the ray would be the range of the flash light.

Assu$$anonymous$$g that the beam of light has some non-trivial diameter to it, spherecasting is probably more appropriate.

You could also use a mesh collider if you make a mesh that fits the size and shape of your light cone.
