An improved miniature flashlight construction including a housing that is formed to include an upper shell (12) and a lower shell (14) . An interior module (16) is positioned within the housing and includes a circuit board (18) , control circuitry (20) , a switch contact (22) and a modular socket (24) into which a light emitting diode (LED) (26) is received. A flexible actuator element (28) is formed within the upper shell (12) of the housing disposed adjacent the switch contact (22) on the interior module (16) for engaging the switch contact (22) when the actuator (28) is depressed. By providing a socket (24) for receiving the LED (26) , the interior module (16) can be formed as a single modular part for use in a miniature flashlight having any colored LED (26) . Further, the interior module (16) may include storage memory for storing operation instructions making the flashlight multifunctional. |
