A portable illumination device (10) includes a miniature, unitary housing (12) adapted to enclose a flashlight lamp (16) having electrical contacts or leads (32, 34) in switchable connection to a discoid battery (14). The housing (12) is formed of impact-resistant material and defines a battery compartment (18) and lamp socket (20) integrally formed within the housing (12). The battery compartment is dimensioned to receive at least one discoid battery (14), and the lamp socket (20) is positioned within the housing (12) forward of the battery compartment and dimensioned to receive a contact- or lead-bearing end (24) of the flashlight lamp (16). Electrical connections and a switching device electrically interconnects the battery (14) and lamp (16) to modulate power delivery to the lamp (16). A water resistant battery cap (64) and seating collar (100) for the lamp may optionally be included in the design. A microprocessor may be added or substituted for the switch to control one or more modes of operation of the device (10). |
