Situational irony.
Explanation: The outcome (he can't find the flashlight when he needs it) is the opposite of what you'd expect (that the flashlight would be easy to find for use when the power goes out). It's not verbal (no contradictory speech), dramatic (no audience-only knowledge), or historical.
