The invention provides a flashlight unit having a usual casing with a light bulb mounted in the casing in position to project light out through the forward end of the casing in a normal manner. In accordance with the invention, the unit also includes an illuminating member having a panel section mounted to be visible through the top side of the casing and also having a second integral section extending around the neck of the light bulb for directing side light into the panel section. In one embodiment, the panel section includes a diffraction grating for directing light perpendicular to the plane of the panel section to illuminate external objects. In the first embodiment, a planar mirror member is mounted on the top side of the casing adjacent to the panel section of the illuminating member and in co-planar relationship therewith in position to reflect objects illuminated by the illuminating member. In the first embodiment means may be provided for removably holding tubular lipstick containers or other vanity items in the casing. In a second embodiment, the panel section of the illuminating member extends across the top side of the casing, and serves to illuminate pictorial or other representations formed on a substrate mounted either over or under the panel. The panel member in the second embodiment may be suitably etched to provide sparkling highlights for the graphic or pictorial representations on the substrate.
