Abstract

A flashlight has a head assembly with a charging member extending laterally to an external charging contact and a barrel slidably housing a battery assembly. A tail assembly having a slidable actuating member is positioned in abutment with the battery assembly. A connection module is positioned in the head assembly, an has a continuous connection means for maintaining a continuous electrical connection between the charging member and the battery, and also intermittent connection mechanism for intermittenly connecting the battery with the lamp.
