A flashlight in accordance with an aspect of the invention includes an ID module (165) for generating an ID signal indicative of a power mode of the flashlight. In an aspect, the flashlight mates with a removable battery pack (110) that regulates at least one of an output voltage and output current in accordance with the ID signal. In an aspect, the flashlight includes a printed circuit board (PCB) (130) on which the ID module is mounted. In an aspect, the flashlight includes a soft-start module and a bulb (140), wherein the soft start module increases power to the bulb at a controlled rate when the flashlight is turned on. In an aspect, the flashlight includes a lamp housing having a lens (114) retained by a bezel. The lens (114) includes an axially extending peripheral edge. In an aspect, the flashlight includes a main housing (102) having a lamp housing (104). A mounting mechanism and mating features are adapted to selectively couple and decouple the main housing (102) and the lamp housing (104). In an aspect, a flexible conduit (106) connects the main housing and lamp housing. The flexible conduit (106) can be formed in an arc having an apex (107) that lies directly above a center of gravity of the flashlight when the main housing and the lamp housing are coupled, thereby allowing the flashlight to be balanced when the flexible conduit is used as a carrying handle. |
