A safety flashlight (30) according to the invention includes a heavy duty magnet (1) secured to a cap (3) in turn connected to a main housing (9). A preferred flashlight (30) also includes a reflector cone (16) arranged to intercept a concentrated beam produced by a light bulb assembly (13) and radially reflect the light to make it noticeable irrespective of the angular orientation of the viewer with respect to the light (30). An electronic flashing circuit (10) is secured within the housing (9) using a synthetic rubber compound which insulates the circuit (10) and makes it less sensitive to shock.
