A flashlight having a mechanism for preventing electrical contact members thereof from rusting comprises a battery frame including a plurality of slanted flexible bifurcation members for receiving one or more batteries, each bifurcation member having a recess proximate the electrode. In an unused position, batteries are disengaged from each other and from a bulb and a conductor coupled to bulb. While in use, by pushing a switch to hold bifurcation members upright in a secured position so that batteries, bulb, and conductor are electrically coupled together with electrodes and a protuberance of conductor inserted through recesses, thereby forming a circuit from bulb to conductor via batteries.
