Abstract (en)

A multi-function flashlight device (10) is provided in either an all white light emitting diode (LED) or a coloured LED version that allows versatile functionality. The flashlight (10) is fashioned to have an outer housing (12) that includes both an integrated means (14) for interfacing the flashlight with a firearm and a surface (14) thereon that serves as a handgrip. The outer housing (12) of the flashlight is configured to be engaged by a clamping assembly that facilitates integration of the flashlight (10) with standard firearm accessory rail assemblies. The flashlight head (18) includes a high-output white LED (32) positioned centrally within an optical element such as a reflector (34). Should the flashlight be a coloured light, four other positions are provided around the periphery of the lens that contain coloured LEDs (38). The flashlight (10) provides the user the ability to selectively and individually control the mode of operation for all of the LEDs contained therein.
