ABSTRACT:
A flashlight having a tail cap switch is disclosed. The tail cap is formed to fit in one end of the flashlight barrel for retaining one or more power cells therein. It is easily removable for replacement of the flashlight power cells. The tail cap has an integral switch for connecting and disconnecting the flashlight bulb to and from the power cells. A flexible boot is provided for enclosing an exposed portion of the switch when the tail cap is installed in the flashlight barrel. The flexible boot, which is formed of a resilient, water-resistant material, has a peripheral sealing portion which is formed to fit between the switch body and the barrel so as to form a watertight seal therebetween.
